she s such a tough cookie. she s a tough warrior, she takes on tough races all the time. another moderate i think he seems moderate. brown is essentially progressive labor guy, he can t hide and say i voted for gorsuch, that wouldn t help. he is. the dems voted for trump and sort of an economic motivation. supreme court nomination is all about the social issues. you laugh at that, but women, gay people, there s a lot of reasons that it cuts right there to quick, right who they have to live as. right. i don t think that s supreme court, supreme court nomination is going to hurt a member of the op site party, even if it will but there s a lot of women that got elected at 94. ie know west virginia i m from there. my dad knew his uncle, i know the state pretty well. he s got to vote for gorsuch. he, you know, he ll just get clobbered.
