Excellent commentary by Newt Gingrich.
“I do not
remember any political event that has so galvanized Americans.
First, the
sheer viciousness of the smears, lies, and character assassination galvanized
Republicans who had been relatively passive about the election. Now they are
deeply angry about the Democrats’ dishonesty and nastiness. They were
especially offended by the Left’s behavior since Kavanaugh has two young
daughters who had to endure such personal lies about their father. The
Republican base’s energy is dramatically higher than it was two weeks ago.
If 'Remember
the Alamo' was a rallying cry for Texans, 'Remember Kavanaugh' has become a
rallying cry for Republicans.
Second, 2018
has become the year when the mask came off the Democratic Party. On issue after
issue, Democrats have become radical advocates of radical policies — policies
that they are willing to use radical, coercive actions to force on the American
people. Their support for open borders, sanctuary cities, government-run
healthcare, higher taxes, bigger government, and endless resistance,
investigations, and threats of impeachment have all seemed radical. Their
intensely hostile description of their opponents — deplorables, people who
consort with evil, people who should be kicked, confronted, driven out of
restaurants and stores — these all seem a radical break with the American
system. Watching Democratic activists scratch at the Supreme Court doors seems
out of control. The behavior of these radical activists is becoming a definer
of the Democratic Party — reinforced by incumbent Senate Democrats who are
using similar language and tactics in the Senate hearing room. For many
Americans the mask is off, and the Democrats have become a frighteningly
dangerous party.”
