Anyway you look at it you lose

Republican = FUCKED

While republicans will probably still get to seat Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, it's hard to see how this is anything but a loss for their party.  Women--already exceedingly pissed and voting increasingly Democratic--are going to be even more irate in lieu of a man sitting on the Supreme Court who a) will most likely vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, and b) is probably a rapist.  Which will likely lead to an even bigger blue wave than currently anticipated.

It's hard to see how Susan Collins' career survives this--she's always positioned herself as a moderate republican and now the truth is out:  she's little more than a toadie for the republican party and she is more than happy to vote to give a monster a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court to keep her party's leaders happy.  Maine Democrats have to be chomping at the bit to run against her in 2020--helped along by the more than a million dollars that have already been raised for her as yet unknown challenger.

Likewise, there has to be a smart Iowan out there who has witnessed an increasingly inept Chuck Grassley and just might like to point out how out of touch he is with Iowa women now that he has a) voted against the Violence Against Women Act, b) soon to have voted twice to put a sexual deviant on the Supreme Court (Clarence Thomas being the first), and c) hired a man fired for sexual harassment to be a spokesman.  Time to put ol' Chuck out to pasture.

Of course, republicans could pull Kavanaugh's nomination--and depress their base just prior to the mid terms.

In the end, the nomination of Brett Kavanugh for the Supreme Court will likely go down as one of the most colossal political blunders in recent memory--right up there with nominating Donald Trump to be your party's leader....

Fuck Donald Trump,
