Oh they say how appalled they are, how disgusted by what the GOP has become etc. They will still vote for them, or at least someone like Graham who they can pretend represents them (and especially if someone comes along to scare them like Obama, or Clinton, or (heaven forfend) a socialist like Sanders).
I've only lived here 11 years and been a citizen 7 years, (just to give some context)
Of the older gen, alot seem to be party alligned, as in waaay more people are party members here.
These people might vote for someone out of party at local/state level but will mainly go along party lines at federal level.
For people about 45 and younger there seems to be a big shift away from party politics and the number of independent voters is growing rapidly.
The democrats bashed Sanders for not being a registered Democrat and this only increased his vote with younger voters.
There's definitely a feeling that the Democrats didnt do enough to avoid where we're at now.
So I would say people are definitely liberal or conservative but with the younger generation, that doesn't necessarily automatically correlate with red/blue, republican/democrat. More and more liberals are disillusioned with the Democrats, just like alot of conservatives and the GOP
He's just angling for the AG job when trump fires Sessions after the midterms.
Kavanaugh re-opened the investigation into Vince Fosters death yet seems very unwilling for an extra couple of days to talk to all the witnesses alleged to have been at the party including those that could back up his testimony that no such party happened or for any discussion with the other two women who came forward.
If I was writing a novel, that character would be a self hating gay that kills young men.
Properly, this man is disqualified from being identified as a human being.
This isn't the half of it.
Kavanaugh, at the time, says he did not believe Vince Foster was murdered yet STILL spent 3 years and millions of taxpayer dollars harassing Foster's family, friends and former co-workers chasing down all manner of insane leads - all in a literal political witch hunt.
The SOB even had the temerity to question Mrs. Clinton herself about an affair with Vince Foster.
For all your sobbing and screaming like an entitled child yesterday, what you experienced is not worse than what you used to do to others. The pain you feel, you used to inflict knowing full well what you were doing was illegitimate. I do feel sorry for your wife and your children. Despite you protestations of a system gone off the rails, you, sir, very literally are reaping what you have sown.
You are every bit as much a part of the problem as the Senators you were so disrespectful toward. I do not feel sorry for you one single bit.
He is so vile. Like a outrageously written villian in a KKK, religious, rapey cult movie. He was 100% an extra in Mississippi burning!
