He said Kennedy's retirement will motivate the Deplorable, i.e. GOP base. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #6
That might be true, especially if the seat has not been filled by November n/t Blaukraut Jun 2018 #13
It will also motivate the Dem base , even more than we are now. octoberlib Jun 2018 #31

It will help the GOP, so why not ask the question? krawhitham Jun 2018 #20

Why is saying something factually true showing "spin"? brooklynite Jun 2018 #37
Because it will motivate our base as well. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #38

aren’t being suppressed. I look for obstacles put up for Dem voters. If we don’t take, at least the House, we no longer have free & fair elections and have been compromised. Also look for the “Brownshirts” to be walking around on Election Day, locked & loaded asking for I.D. Think it can’t/won’t happen? I’m putting nothing past these people.

It will just as likely motivate our base which is larger.

Those brothers with the pointy shoes, omg, they give me chills. It's one of my husband's shows but I can only peek once in a while when he's marathoning.

Today has to be about finding balance. Since it's too hot to work in the yard I'm going to do some watercolor exercises that I've been ignoring. But I so want to put my hands in the ground as soon as this hot spell breaks. 97° right now and will surely break 100 later.

The churches will be back on board with the anti-gay and anti-abortion stuff. They'll be busing them in to the polls to vote for every slack jawed Trump knobgobbler and Vladdy's got the hack machine fired up to pick up the slack.

He was covering for a vacationing Rachel that week and did a lot of damage. Bob Somersby, liberal watchdog of the MSM, has written at length about the episode.

...If I were him, I'd tone down the GOP gloat. He may now lose the right to marry the man of this dreams, among other things.
