Yeah. Hard to connect without a military diagnosis.

Maybe, but I think he could bring a lot of people over. Depends who he'd be up against, too.

Don't think we'll have any idea who's in front for the Dems until the resistance to Trump solidifies a bit more. Even Warren is making bad votes, and Corey Booker rightfully sunk any chance.

It's weird. I was thinking last night how, in normal times, the nomination of Gorsuch while imperfect for my beliefs in some areas wouldn't really inspire more than the die-hard right-to-choicers to take to the streets.
Imagine a world in which Trump doesn't do all this stupid EO stuff the first week, and the Garland nomination is handled as if Republicans were adults (hearings, then vote him down)..and this would be a non-issue.
But now? Democratic Senators are getting thousands of letters and calls a day and hundreds of people showing up to their local offices, all with comment - not a chance in hell. Between the way Garland was treated and the inability of Congressional Republicans to grow a backbone against Trump, the last potential bulwark against the crazy seems to be SCOTUS. In that environment, not a chance in hell will he get a single Democratic vote (well, a few, they'll try to protect some key purple states, but there will be a line at 58-59).
