Topic	The worst part about this Kavanaugh thing is that it re-energized the right
Balrog0 10/05/18 1:23:43 PM #69:	Antifar posted... Balrog0 posted... Antifar posted... To what extent is it also 1) energizing Democrats 2) alienating more moderate voters? Polls show that Kavanaugh is on the whole pretty unpopular; I'm not sure we should assume Republicans doing an unpopular thing will work wonders for them. To the extent that this effect won't dissipate if and when he is confirmed. This whole world is about Trump, and people who are dissatisfied with him aren't going to dislike him more for this now. https://www.investors.com/politics/trump-approval-rating-ibd-tip-poll/ Its definitely helping him with Republicans and other groups he did well with, like white dudes and such, though. Yes, but the general electorate is mostly not Republicans 42% of the electorate doesn't vote. Republicans have, until recently, over-performed in terms of Likley Voters vs Registered Voters. That could be attributed to low enthusiasm among the GOP base. So energizing their base might be bad for electoral outcomes. So I'm not sure what your point is in saying this. Do you want to elaborate? I feel like if you look at that link, and specifically the numbers it reports, this rejoinder is kind of meaningless. --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:910009319] in The worst ...
