Democratic Senator Warns Republicans That An Uprising Is Coming In 28 Days
Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) warned Trump and the Republican Party that there is an uprising of outraged voters coming for them in 28 days.
Video @ link:
Sen. Markey said:
Its not as galvanized as the Democratic base. Its not as galvanized as those who were outraged at the way in which Dr. Blasey Ford was treated before the senate judiciary committee and then entire process for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh. What we are seeing here is an historic uprising, especially of women in our country who really do feel that this president has to have a check be placed upon him.
Otherwise preexisting conditions which are protections for those who have health care needs or the entire Affordable Care Act or Roe vs. Wade can all just be swept away. It can be completely overturned by Brett Kavanaughs vote on the supreme court. This is going to be a referendum on Donald Trump. On Brett Kavanaugh, on the key votes which he can now cast that undermines protections for women in our country and families in general.

Sen. Markey was correct. There is an uprising coming. You can feel it. Republicans are whistling through the graveyard and clinging on to the false hope that the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation fight that they won is going to save them. Republicans have no idea what is heading their way. As we have seen in special and 2017 elections and 2018 primaries polling has tended to underestimate the intensity and strength of the Democratic turnout.
Women are running for office and leading the uprising because they understand the urgency behind putting a check on Trump. America has been watching and what is going to go down in four weeks is going to be something that Republicans never saw coming.

Lots of people here said Kavanaugh would not be confirmed, either.

The 2006-2012-2018 class is very, very Democratic. I do think Democrats will win a lot in legislatures, governorships and the House.

We will know AFTER the election so I'll save my bragging and strutting about how bad the Left is and how we are going to do this and that and impeach every one in sight until then.

but I am not seeing enthusiasm in my area, and I ask clients all day if they are registered to vote and if not would they like to. I am a social services worker in western KY.

that I saw are giving the Dems a bigger margin than what the Pollsters are peddling.
Tomorrow afternoon will be my next update as to what our internals have to say. Will be interesting with a month to go.
