unite the factions knowing democrats were going to come full bore out of the supreme court? the bush guy, brett kavanaugh. it was a genius pick and yet everybody is like donald trump casually walked into it and he just did it by mistake, strategically genius pick, united the factions, great job again. rachel: they always underestimate him. very interesting. a topic, my husband is a member of congress. there have been death threats pouring into senators personal cell phones. and we see statements with nancy pelosi and others, and they are still ready to fight mob style. they are not learning their lessons. how long will they keep going
of a personal affinity for brett kavanaugh the man. he referred to him as a bush guy having worked in the bush white house. but president trump was told that given brett kavanaugh s partisan past, having his career been cooked in the cauldron of the ken star impeachment era, that he would be acceptable to the far right, and given his background having traveled in elite washington circles, that he was also acceptable to the washington establishment. that is how the counsel s office and donald trump ultimately settled on brett kavanaugh. and when it looked as if his confirmation was going to go off the rails after thursday s hearing, we saw president trump really dispense with that strategy of presidential restraint and take it directly to the chief accuser, dr. blasey ford. he cast doubt on her credibility, mocked her on a campaign stage that looked like this one back in mississippi. he suggested some of the protesters we re seeing on
has no real personal affinity for the man. he s referred to him as a bush guy in the past. he knows he needs a win come what may. for republican voters, the supreme court is so often that single issue. the way in which president trump we have seen dispensed with that whole strategy not attacking the accuser and went straight to mocking christine blasey ford. it s at win at any cost. what happens if they lose? that s something the white house will probably, the president, whatever something goes wrong for the president, he doesn t take the blame. he will say this is congress s fault. we have seen him at rallies and complain about john mccain. he will put this on the republicans. he will blame the people who brought kavanaugh to him.
in a stunning defeat. you get to decide. five weeks from tonight. joining us now with reaction, senator lindsey graham. you ve been giving us updates every step of the way. what is the latest? the kavanaugh bump is real. the biggest change in the 2018 midterms, a political observation, in north dakota 60-28 he should be confirmed. every race in the trump red states held by a democrat, there is a surge by republicans. why? whether you are a trump republican, a libertarian,vergen republican, romney republican, bush republican, you are mad as hell because we are all united this is unfair what they re doing to a good, decent man cannot stand. the republican of the year will be a democrat, not a republican. you ve been able to do something, my friends, on the other side i could never do. unite this party.
i think amy klobuchar shouldapod his family for being part of a smear campaign i haven t seen in 20-years in politics. what about the red state democrats? they are toast. all of them? wo all of them. they re toast if they vote no and they should be. president trump won these states promising to nominate conservative judges.well qualif. this is a bush guy. he worked for the white house. he s as mainstream at you can get.s he s been on the d.c. circuit court of appeals for 12-years, glowing assessments of hiscredi, before this hearing. if you re going to reward people for destroying his life by questioning his temperament, you re setting in question the judiciary to any republican who wants to question kavanaugh sep temperment, you re rewarding the people who put him in this box. five weeks from tonight, the result let s start flowing in. yes.mm
