EARS TO HEAR

CNN's Chris Cilizza reported this so you know that had to have hurt him badly.  But if present trends continue, the Kavanaugh hearings may turn out to be the biggest Democratic Party political disaster since Hillary's "deplorables" remark.  Or the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

Just over a month away from critical elections across the country, the wide Democratic enthusiasm advantage that has defined the 2018 campaign up to this point has disappeared, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.

In July, there was a 10-point gap between the number of Democrats and Republicans saying the November elections were "very important." Now, that is down to 2 points, a statistical tie.

Democrats' advantage on which party's candidate they are more likely to support has also been cut in half since last month. Democrats still retain a 6-point edge on that question, but it was 12 points after a Marist poll conducted in mid-September.

Government by character assassination doesn't work, Just ask Joe McCarthy.

What decent man is safe from this kind of character assassination? Democrats need to be punished, badly, at the polls nationwide. Maybe they'd think twice about using this tactic again.
