I am a college-educated, suburban, first-generation Latino immigrant. I voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012. I find President Trump to lack the basic moral character that we should expect in our political leaders and did not consider, even for a moment, voting for him in 2016. After watching how Senate Democrats and the media handled the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, however, I will be voting Republican in 2018 and for Trump in 2020.

But there is a greater question at hand, a question beyond the truthfulness of Ford or Kavanaugh’s testimony. This question will have lasting effects long beyond the tenure of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s replacement. That question is whether the politics of power, the politics by any means demonstrated by Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats, will be rewarded.
A mentor once told me, when discussing how to respond to inappropriate sexual conduct in the workplace, “You promote what you permit.” If Democrats are allowed to delay this nomination and the elections in 2018 and 2020 benefit them, both Republicans and Democrats for a generation will have learned that the American people prefer to be ruled by tyrants that punish their enemies instead of representatives in a republic who adhere to the rule of law.

The underlined is the key.
Do we want people in government to manipulate the system in this manner and be rewarded with more power? In this case, there was plenty of time for the alleged assault to be investigated, but they hid the details and timed making it public so they could delay the confirmation vote.
I can understand if people do not like Trump, but he won fairly... probably despite the manipulations of the Dems and Deep State with their spying tactics.
What kind of government do we want? If we reward this type of behavior, we will get more of it. Elections will mean very little if the government can scam their way to alter the results.

lol. this strikes me as the type of nonsense Republicans/ extreme right wingers "email" to each other endlessly.
They know the public does not support them, they know the left and the independents are aligned to take them out of office, and they know there is nothing they can do to stop it. No amount of gerrymandering and propaganda is going to save the house, and the senate may well fall too.
thus they send each other "feel good" stories, the right wing rags print anecdotes because the data is so depressing.

The author is on the money.
The Democrats have cemented their fate, in the dust bind of history.
