    A majority of Republicans — 54 percent — say they think Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed regardless of whether sexual misconduct allegations against him are true, according to a new NPR/Marist poll. https://n.pr/2N2vNgj

        I think “disheartening” describes my response. I am not the least bit astonished. Republicans have shown us who they are.

        Doesn't everyone get it that the Republicans would rather die a hundred deaths than agree with ANYTHING the Democratics want, need or have.

        It's going to take a long long time to get rid of misogyny in politics. Not surprised at all, and that in itself is a tragedy

        Not at all as Kavanaugh checks all the boxes for their tribal-first politics. #Dems are late in crafting a counterpunch and are way too sure of themselves re #Midterms2018 IMO.

        1/ I would like to think this is some kind of polling error, but the scales have been removed from my eyes. There are literally a third of my countrymen I would not even want to break bread with based on their abhorrent value system...

        2/...Before #DonaldJTrumps accession to his throne in 2016, I would not have imagined that number at higher than 10%. Disparities like that can make you question a lot in the world.

        I've spent a lot of time believing we should assemble, try and understand each other. I no longer think that way ever since the Kavanaugh hearings. Republicanism should be outlawed, these people banished to an island sleeked out in infectious diseases.

        Surprising? No. Deeply disturbing? Yes. There is no more clearer indicator of what the majority of the GOP today has become and the deep divide that currently exists. Very different priorities and sensitivities.

        I think part if this is that, if it happened, it happened when they were teens. Legally we rightfully treat things done by teens differently. Teens do dumb things, should such ruin the rest of their lives?

        And yet it wasn’t surprising at all. Ask those same people what the definition of sexual assault is.

        well of course they would think that way. To them, having a conservative in SCOTUS is just as essential as not having one is to us liberals.
