re: Looks like the leak of the Supreme Court draft has backfired on the left

Rich Baris has done extensive polling on this. The needle on abortion has shifted right. This is another loser for Dems. They can "get out" the vote on the 35% that strongly support abortion but the other side has more voters to move.

Rich Baris is full of shite. The electorate shifts on this issue against whomever has the upper hand. The Dems had the upper hand, so the electorate leaned right. Now that the Repubs have the upper hand - and they WILL overplay it as they have in Texas - the electorate will lean left.

If the Republicans could control the nutballs, and propose common sense state laws that allow the first trimester only, they could win on this issue. Instead they are going all out in a bunch of states, and that will hand the issue to the Dems if they’re smart enough to take it - they’re not! So what will happen is each party will do its level best to give the winning hand to the other party. Eventually a statesman will come along, as President, and make a deal with the other party’s centrists, and that will become the federal law of the land on abortion.
