Unless you have been living under a rock, you sure know now that Trump SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been accused of an aggressive and unwanted sexual encounter back in 1982, during high school. Kavanaugh has categorically denied this accusation.
I have no doubt that the Democrats are emboldened by the effectiveness of the 11th-hour accusations against Roy Moore, which were effective enough to sink his congressional aspirations after a long judicial career free of such allegations.
Clarence Thomas was able to weather a hail mary attempt by congressional Democrats to secure his SCOTUS nomination and seat, but this one has a different feel.
However, we NOW have the #MeToo movement, to which Democrats have already conceded to give a few of their own soldiers, conceding some battles in order to win a larger war (in my view) to take down Trump and this SCOTUS nominee.
Think of it - effectively blocking a conservative justice would be a win for generations and the upcoming hearings are meant to create another sideshow for the Democrats to distract from their abysmal lack of ideas and the fact that they are a politically and ideologically dead party. Never underestimate the GOP's ability to cave and go along with the Democrat games and agree to hearings on the allegations as well.
We have a multi-prong attack here: 1) Turning the SCOTUS confirmation hearings into a circus to destroy a man's reputation and career, 2) Continuation of media (now known to have colluded with the FBI on orchestrated leaks to damage President Trump) to keep the attack drumbeat up against President Trump, 3) The ongoing Russian Collusion special counsel probe that has yielded nothing but indictments for either alleged crimes from over a decade prior to associate with the Trump campaign or alleged lies to the FBI through the process of the probe, and 4) Social Media, Big Tech Left, censorship of conservatives.
If the polls are to be believed (please excuse my skepticism - given 2016 oversampling of Democrats and clear faultiness that had given the projection of a Hillary Clinton win), the efforts appear to be working to tarnish the public's view of Trump. This is despite an economy that has taken off thanks to day-1 efforts by Trump to take the boot off the neck of US productivity - which the Obama administration had firmly in place for nearly a decade.
The "It's the economy stupid" argument may just not make it past the propaganda and circus antics of the left wing media and Democrats (one in the same), censorship of the Tech Left, and other potential surprises.
Time will tell, but for now, it looks like another underdog moment for Donald J. Trump, but I have to say I would NOT want any other person in this position. I have learned to never underestimate Trump - so let's see how this plays out.
