“Republicans are shifting their campaign focus toward the looming Supreme Court fight over replacing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in hopes that it will inject a last-minute boost into President Trump’s reelection bid and the battle for the Senate majority,” the Washington Post reports.

“But some in Trump’s orbit are questioning that strategy, privately fretting that the move to quickly confirm a conservative replacement for the liberal icon will backfire and energize the left in key battlegrounds states. And behind the scenes, some Senate GOP advisers also acknowledge that this could spell bad news for at least two GOP incumbents — Susan Collins in Maine and Cory Gardner in Colorado — fighting for their political lives in Democratic- leaning states, even as they predict it could bolster other vulnerable senators.”

"liberal" and "conservative" were always misnomers and weasel-words anyways.

The struggle is against progress, and regress. Forward or backward.

The rest of the world is moving forward without us.

Regressives think we can stay in place and still rule the world.

Progressives know that's bunk.
