a conservative direction for decades and generations to come in this country. and will his appointment have any effect on the upcoming midterm elections in november given all the passion and controversy. i'm fairly sure democrats are psyched about what this did for even if they lost the fight they lost the nomination and confirmation battle against the republicans of course but it did a lot for them to energize their base for and to energize women right behind me here this is all women then they're angry they are not happy they didn't want brett kavanaugh on the bench of the supreme court and now they have him there so they're psyched they're stoke they want to go to the to the polls on coming november sixth that's their battle chance so to speak november is coming november is coming and shame on you shame on you they are convinced the democrats are convinced that the. they have managed to energize the crowds and adjust their base to come to the polls
