Trump supporters, but the average republican that sees dysfunction in complete republican control and wonder why they tried in the first place if they knew he had these problems. >> tell me what a middle ground is on this issue, or can you not have a middle ground on this? anna, i'll start with you. >> in what respect? >> heidi heitkamp. how do you help her find a middle ground here where she nose the majority of her constituents think kavanaugh should be onboard. >> well, first of all, i'm not clear that supreme court -- that supreme court matters as much as pundits like to say it does. your ...

Districts. i'm involved in a lot of races and i'm seeing, even like ten-point shifts in the generic congressional, ten-point shifts or more on trump's favorability and job approval. and at the same time, there's been more republican energy. this is in motion, post-labor day. people are focuses. to me, kavanaugh, if it had been derailed, it would have led to, on the right, a pretty severe reaction. >> but that's -- >> the thing is, he's probably going to be confirmed. >> if he is derailed, you think that could have that sort of perverse effect, meaning it actually rallies the right. >> absolute...
