me in this incredible mid-term elections did very well. those that did not say goodbye. yesterday was such a very big win all under the pressure of a nasty and hostile media. that s a shot at republicans in a way who were not on board. sure, yeah. this clearly is president trump s party and he is steering it. many presidents at the top of the party are. he is doing it directly. it will be interesting to hear his perspective on that today. the kavanaugh factor. that was such a huge factor in those races of democrats up for reelection in red states. every senator who voted against kavanaugh lost except manchin, who voted for kavanaugh and won. i have think it was a major move in those races particularly in some places like indiana and missouri. bill: interesting to see what mitch mcconnell says that about next hour.
so i would not bet against her. i also want to point out that some of the more recent polling data that has come out since dr. blasey ford has come forward has shown a democratic advantage in some of these races. sandra: so you are an optimistic democrat? the wall street journal writes this about kavanaugh, the impact on the elections. they are spreading the claim that kavanaugh lost, it could have a midterm upside. candidates would light up the base by highlighting their ambush tactics, voters would rush to the polls. an ultimate confirmation. bill: that is interesting. the new york times is saying the opposite. if kavanaugh goes on, you re going to see evangelical christians and republicans, they are going to be really disappointed that he did not stick with kavanaugh. that s what they did not help them across the finish line. you see two different arguments.
