But (1) we (Dems and independents) outnumber them; and (2) (for the umpteenth time), Democratic women will crawl over hot lava to vote in November because we are so outraged.
This is what happens when you kick the WASP nest. They are now rallying to their Confederate Flag and huddled in their enclaves, vowing that their dreams of a permanent white Christian hegemony shall never be thwarted by a bunch of n-bombs and sp-cs and the race traitors who cater to them.
I can only hope you’re right, but this bodes ill.
Well, it wouldn’t be an election if Dems weren’t being told to panic about something.
How much does this really matter?
Republicans are always galvanized because Faux News keeps them in a perpetual state of fear and rage.
There’s not much more upside for them.
It’s the Ds who always fail to turn out for mid-term elections.
There are a lot more Ds and independents than Rs.

We can’t be afraid of telling and fighting for the truth. Being afraid of these people and not telling them to fuck off is how we got into this mess.
gopers ALWAYS vote, even in the midterms. If the Dems and Indies come out it won’t matter, if they do their usual then 2 more years of this shit.
So what’s the logic for the GOP then? Drag this limbo out until the midterms? If he’s confirmed, the GOP will be fat and happy and stay home? I thought the vote needed to happen ASAP.
This was expected as the election got closer. Nice try at scare tactics but if that what it takes to get some Dems out to vote I will embrace it.
LOL. Agree.
Yeah, according to Fox News, there’s a war on white men. Kinda like the war on Christmas – except but paler, crustier, pastier, fatter, older, and more obnoxious.
'Cuz white men have had it so bad all of their lives.
So ridiculous - so what are we supposed to do - cower in the corner… No way man, we keep up the fight and confront people where they need to be confronted and truth to power.
Damn right.
LOVE THIS COMMENT 1 million times.
Early voting is kicking off already and votes from expats are already in the mail. There’s a certain decay to turnout-goosing efforts, you need more outrage-stoking the closer you get to the election day to achieve the same results. If I was a GOP strategist, I’d be firing all of our guns and explode into space. Democratic outrage, in contrast, has been stoked for nearly 2 years and costs almost nothing to goose.
The only thing that will save our country is for every single republican to be voted out of office - no exceptions. It’s not “enthusiam” that counts, It’s getting out there and doing your civic duty by voting. For the love of God, just do it!
Damn right.
Indeed; get out and VOTE. Anyone who rolls over has no right to complain
What a total load of bullshit. I think Dave Weigel said it best. Now that the Panic over Menendez cycle is over, Dems can now panic about the GCB.
Look, every election year the losing side gets a news cycle or two that they use to drum up enthusiasm. I can cite several examples. At the end of the AL-SEN special election, it was panic over Franken. At the end of the 2006 election, John Kerry made some stupid joke. At the end of the 2008 election, we had all that stupid Sarah Palin, Farrahkhaan, Reverend Wright, Joe the Plumber bullshit. In 2014, Joni Ernst said something stupid. In 2010, Obama made a couple of nice speeches to pump the troops up. I can go on and on.
I like to get my Dem panic cycles in early in the final month, so I’m good. You want to feel better? Go call some voters, make some donations, fill out a ballot and vote. I think this GOP enthusiasm stuff is a blip in a crazy news cycle. Wait 1-2 weeks, it will all settle out.
My first thought too. Here we go with the concern polls.
Trump: I want this to go on till elections. I hope some actual rape victims come forward. Energizing my base…
