the gop and unification of the republican party behind donald trump because of what happened to brett cavanagh reason but the brett kavanaugh affects will have a lasting impact because if you look at the late august situation into late september when the second testimony is heard, confirmed on the first saturday of october. it has a lasting effect. i don't think it will be the final straw for anybody but it had a motivating effect for republicans across the country. >> probably the best thing that happened to them because it brought them together in a way that wasn't happening organically at that point. >> brought together the two warring tribes in the republican party. on a very important issue for conservatives, maybe the most important issue which is the supreme court but then fortunately for republicans, litigated a culture war, it was done about me too and donald trump and all that stuff which gave trump voters, they are in it for the culture war, the president who is their cultural crusader but you get conservatives, the bush republicans, the traditional republicans and put them back tog

displeasure known with comments like, quote, the gutter of journalism surrounding reports about brett cavanagh make me want to tell my hair out and it is official now, the onion and the inquirer have more credible headlines and articles then the washington post and the new york times, washington post is defending itself saying stories written by the author automatically default to the public safety category. the post goes on to say this is obviously one that should not have been there and in fairness other stories written by the author including one about adoption and what about robert mueller also ended up under public safety. this is also the paper that ran headlines during the confirmation hearings like these, quote, we were brett kavanaugh's drinking buddies and don't think he should be confirmed and brett kavanaugh's anger may be backfiring. even if the story was simply misplaced you can see why conservatives might be skeptical. we should mention brett kavanaugh's team lost in the final round. >> he will be coaching them on either way. thank you very much. first lady milania trump speakin
