      This is admittedly anecdotal, but I’ve heard from several of my center-right friends today who are turned off by the Left’s attacks on Kavanaugh & Cruz. As a result, they have started solidly supporting them both.

      But, wouldn’t center-right folks already be supporting both men??

      The people I'm referring to were tepidly supporting Kavanaugh and found Cruz to be a snake oil salesman.

          I just don’t get how they are blaming Kavanaugh being a really bad nominee/person and people’s dislike of Cruz on Dems. That sounds like looking for an excuse. It’s disingenuous of them and you. If you believe against something, you don’t settle for something worse

          ...but, per you, were never going to vote against a man they believe to be a “snake oil salesman”. I’m center-left, and it’s your so-called center-right friends that ‘turn me off’.

          Cruz is still a purveyor of reptile oil, and anyone who likes him more ( but doesn't live in TX and cannot vote for him) because he was yelled at is a very simple person.

          And suddenly they don't think so because of actions by the left? It's like me saying I know I need to exercise, and walking, is what my doctor orders, but then it starts to fog outside, and instead of going to walk, I blame it on the fog. Bunk.

          So a snake oil salesman is treated rudely so now they are gonna stick up for him? Tell me what kind of sense that makes. Snake oil salesmen earn that reaction.

          Yeah Cruz is the most hated man in the senate. We know that. If you support Kavanaugh you’re a conservative. He’s at like -4 approval. C’mon Matt you aren’t this dumb

          But in an earlier tweet you’ve said they were already supporting Cruz. Republican voters you know who already supported Republican politicians are now vocal about it. And? I’m really unclear what your point is other than concern trolling protesters.

          Matt, I hear it. Bk’s hearing responses and the GOP lack of transparency seemed to bug center folks. Those same folks don’t seem to be ready to deal with misogyny though and as soon as assault allegations came up, folks retreated. That’s what I’ve seen.

          Interesting that you’re a democrat being attacked by other democrats for pointing out ugly behavior that will hurt democrats. Perhaps you haven’t noticed ugly behavior is a common trait of democrats.
