Page 3 - Kavanaugh Issue News Today

In the donation you mentioned. the thing is there are two maps here, right? the house map, where i think leslie has a point where it will be affected by a lot of suburban women who took the opposite side on the kavanaugh issue. then the senate map. the senate map with republicans looking for pickups. that is the map that favors republicans especially after the jolt that the kavanaugh win has given them. >> sandra: you go back to byron york talking to jon scott at the 9:00 a.m. hour and he said a...

Accelerating all the way since 2016. the blue line, rising for dems. the red line dropping for rs. more women walking away from the republican party. kavanaughs confirmation has the groups focusing energy on targeted midterm races. the record number of women are running and winning in the house and senate primaries that have already occurred this year. and one of those primary winners joins me now from new mexico. deb, are you seeing any reaction among voters to the kavanaugh debate? or are you ...

Telling me in july that they would gladly trade control of the house for brett kavanaugh on the bench, thats a trade they would make any day of the week. i am so glad you are with us and helped us through the last few weeks. >> thank you, and good morning. >> one of the things that has been uncovered here is the merger of bush republican and trump republicans over the kavanaugh issue. when you see george h.w. bush tweeting support for this, and jeb bush showing support and you realize this is on...

This inquiry was insufficient. we heard joe manchin yesterday after the vote saying he only had to deal with what was in front of him. and you can always do more. the issue isnt that you can always do more, the question is whether you did enough. senator collins similarly said, this is premised on a lack of corroboration. a lack of corroboration from who? from how many interviews that were done, was it thorough or not? and more specifically, what were the parameters, why was this focused only on...

The podium. >> lets do a little analysis. it seems to me that trump has certain powers which are extraordinary in red states. i mean, if nine out of 10 republicans support him right down the line on every issue, republican states are going to be more likely to vote for the republican candidate if he says so. he has a lot of swag in north dakota, he may have more swag in missouri than he has in the east, somewhere. in the end, he is picking his targets. as you look at his travel schedule, hes not...

What he does but one that he sees as being compliant with it. how long that can last, thats going to be an interesting question. >> mr. trump is warning voters not to be complacent come midterms and turn the power over to a mob, as he describes it. mob is the word that republicans, mr. trump, seem to be using. seems to be trending right now among those circles. does that message work to rally republicans that might be quite satisfied with whats happened here the past few weeks against democrats ...

>> been there myself back in the 60s, anti-war movement. i went to one at the pentagon, i know what theyre like, and i do think they make a difference. it takes a while, but the voices are heard. with me right now rev rands al sharpton and elise jordan. thank you both. give us a sense of your mood right now, youre going to be preaching tomorrow, back on the air tomorrow. is there a complicated message here? is it one of outrage or one of self-satisfaction and outrage? >> i think it is outrage, b...

This has rallied his base in a way that nothing else has been done during a trump administration has. more than the tax cuts, more than the obamacare fight. this is an issue that has deeply polarized both parties. weve been hearing that for the last two weeks. aggressive and intense protests all the way around. the nifinal vote ends that way too. calling on shame on the senators. >> republicans have always cared about the court, going back to hamilton. they had their residual power after the par...

Capitol hill. what do you hear from people. whats the smell of the crowd? it seems to me theyre not quitting? >> reporter: no, theyre not quitting. there is a sense of at least a temporary defeat here. democratic lawmakers who thought perhaps in this last week long extension they may have found a way to derail this nomination. and the protesters you can see in much smaller numbers outside. more than 160 arrested, theyre fired up right now. were going to find out in a month or so if this nominati...

As the justice he replaces, hell be there until 2048. and then have you this trade deal with between u.s., mexico and canada. that is an issue here in kansas, where people have been feeling the heat of the presidents tariffs. back to this kavanaugh issue, the president in the last hour or so has been on air force one calling senators who have championed the kavanaugh cause. hes been thanking them for the role in that. he also believes the role he played in keeping this nomination happening. he d...
