    Mitch McConnell told me in an interview two hours before the vote that the fight to confirm Brett Kavanaugh has dramatically boosted GOP enthusiasm ahead of the Nov. 6 elections. "Our voters are on fire," McConnell said. | w @StevenTDennishttps://buff.ly/2Qz6ODs

        ‘Nothing unifies Republicans like a fight for the court,’ McConnell said. ‘You will recall in 2016, the single biggest reason that brought nine out of 10 Republicans to vote for Donald Trump, just like they did for Mitt Romney, was the Supreme Court vacancy.’

        But even with that, we need to vote in higher numbers to overcome suppression etc

        On fire? Is he referring to all of his #TikiTorch carrying voters? #MitchMcConell #ComplicitGop

        And now they don't have a reason to be. They literally took the only thing that had appreciably moved the enthusiasm needle off the table and made one of their final acts before the election a rallying cry for the other side.

        So lame. GOP base is like 20% of Americans. Just because they can win primaries doesn't mean squat in the general. Dems and every rational American... vote them out!!!

        I'm sure McConnell wants to see it like that. It's a good talking point. I would like to remind everyone just who it is that lives in the WH and just how much this person endangers democratic norms and values. This is not the person to vote for. Neither are his candidates.
