'Thank you, Kavanaugh': Buck Sexton shares one lesson of #ElectionNight

Does anyone even know what happened to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford after she’d outlived her usefulness to the Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats? Maybe she’s spending some of that $800,000 in GoFundMe money she raised for “security.”

We do know where Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh is, though, and Buck Sexton is calling his story the lesson of the night.

The lesson of tonight seems to be:

maybe normal Americans don’t appreciate the ritualized humiliation of a respected husband, father, and jurist for the amusement and political satisfaction of the pink hat crowd

Thank you, Kavanaugh, for standing strong.

Can we get a second on that?

Democrats smeared Brett Kavanaugh, lost the battle over his confirmation and materially harmed their prospects in the mid-terms, all at once. Brilliant

One more, just for fun:

Man, Kavanaugh backfired on the Democrats spectacularly.

No one on cable news seems to be talking about “The Kavanaugh Effect,” but there’s a lot of talk about that blue wave being a lot smaller than predicted.

I've been a registered Democratic for forty years. I just voted a straight Republican ballot because of what those bastards did to Judge Kavanaugh. I can't be the only one.

His resilience should be a lesson to us all.

And they’ve never uttered one syllable of contrition for trying to ruin an innocent man’s life w/baseless smears. This is electoral justice.

We don't like being called Nazis either

The pink hat crowd is an embarrassment to the nation. So much for fair minded, logical, and level headed. Everything is about emotionalism and your emotionalism is not even required to be based on anything real, true, or factual. I.E. an insane asylum.

It was quite disgusting & heartbreaking what that man & his family went through & I wouldn't wish that treatment on any Dem God deliver them from their frenzied blood thirsty meanness.

Thank God. Democrats' behaviour over Kavanaugh one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.

Duh. We warned them when they were running their disgusting smear campaign against Kavanaugh. This will go down as one of the biggest political blunders in modern history.

Democrats have lost the pulse of the country. They fundamentally don’t understand how their behavior turns the common person off.

One thing’s for sure; they dropped Kavanaugh like a hot rock before the election and pivoted to health care.

Yet they will still win the House.

It’s looking that way, unfortunately.

Donnelly lost because he voted against Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Justice is sweet.

Will be interesting to see how McCaskill and Heitkamp (no votes from red states) do vs. Manchin, who was the only D yes vote on Kavanaugh.

The hearing may be out of the news, but it's still very much in play for voters. https://t.co/cADbGf6J9f

Aaaaaand Heitkamp and Donnelly (both no votes on Kavanaugh) go down to Republican challengers.

— Inez Stepman (@InezFeltscher) November 7, 2018

Well, Joe Manchin (the only yes vote from a Democrat) won reelection.

Heitkamp and Donnelly both voted for Neil Gorsuch but not for Brett Kavanaugh – and both lost re-election.

Manchin voted for both, and won re-election in a state Trump carried.
