Trump had told people shortly after Kennedy retired that he thought McGahn was trying to pull one over on him with Kavanaugh, not because of anything specific but after McConnell voiced concerns about the paper trail. https://t.co/iDLYpvScg7

And why exactly do Democrats even need "the high ground" when Republicans are eternally taking the low road?
Double standards always.

In reply to I don't think so, nope;more

P.S. FWIW, big donor Leslie Wexner just officially jumped out of the GOP too. Says he's been GOP since college.Young Republicans. Switching to Independent, inspired by Obama-in-person this week, and contrasting him with Trump.

I don't think so, nope;more

I don't think so, nope;more and more everyday I am convinced it's all gonna be all about Trump:

Two years ago, Seth Klarman was the biggest donor to the Republican Party in New England. This year he’s giving some $20 million to Democrats. He tells @bariweiss why in an exclusive interview. https://t.co/7n1sJMowOG

Just like it's not gonna be about Obama, it's not gonna be about Kavanaugh. The GOP in Congress are going to pay and pay and pay and pay for not standing up to Trump, it's going to take a long time to remake their party somehow. Especially that the people with the money and the neo-cons and the never Trumpers, they don't care much about Kavanaugh one way or another.

Edit to add: That said, that's Congressional party, there's plenty of George Will types out there voting Dem this time but ready and able to support a President Pence and a Supreme Court Judge like Kavanaugh. and their originalist conservative agendas once Trump is gone. They're dying off, but they are still out there. And then rank and file voters don't really understand the danger in that to something like abortion rights.
