The left has always led the race to the bottom, and is clearly the winner when it comes to smears and dirty tactics.

Ripping folks off is a crime is it not? Laundering money is as well. Tax evasion is right up there and there will be much more revealed when Mueller is done. He's a fraud and a sef-serving grifter...not a president!

I also keep hearing the justification, "We're only doing what Trump has done to us." But, even if that were the case, it could be said, 'by their own admission they are following the wrong model ... yet, not doing it as well'

I'm sure the GOP is guilty of extremism and obstructionism, but, I honestly do not recall any President of the U.S. ever facing the type of persistently irrational, unhinged, denigrating, hypocritical attacks as Trump has.
Getting someone with TDS to admit they are acting insanely is like trying to get an alcoholic to admit that maybe he shouldn't be waking up in a ditch with a pounding headache. It's something the person will only be able to recognize years later when the fog has lifted and the healing has begun.

You never even attempted to address my point: If the dems were attacking Kavanaugh with false accusations just because he was a Trump nominee, then why didn't they do the same thing with Neil Gorsuch?

Trump is a crooked POS that would rip you off in a heartbeat at his bogus university or if you were a contractor or employee. How do you defend a ****wad that would ***** you and yours over as soon as look at you? Unbelievable!

Talking After the left's treatment of Trump............

We already know the answer to that.

How about their Supreme Court Nominees? If Sotamayor and Kegan were treated in similar fashion to Kavanaugh, would the left have applauded the process?
Get back to me when the Dems nominate a sexual predator.

Just food for thought. God knows that Obama, Sotomayor, and Kegan had past behavior that would been very fertile ground for personal attacks on them, yet they were not levied in the fashion metered out current republicans. Why not?
Poor lil' tRump.

Woops! Confused Garland and Gorsuch. The reason they did not abuse Gorsuch to the extent they did Kavanaugh is the perception by the left that Kavanaugh's nomination tips the balance of the Supreme Court towards conservative views. The left views this nomination as an end to judicial legislation and thus fought tooth and nail to prevent his nomination.

Keep in mind that the democrats delayed/postponed republican nominees in the past, so the Gorsuch situation is not unique, despite what the left has suggested.
What are you smoking?

EVERY Supreme Court nominee MUST go before the Senate for a vote.

Here is an article on his nomination process:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_G...urt_nomination

He spent 4 days in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee for hearings on his nomination. He was then confirmed by the full senate 54-45, with 3 democrats voting for his nomination.

So I repeat: If democrats were making up accusations against Kavanaugh just because he was a Trump nominee, then why didn't they do the same with Trump's other nominee - Gorsuch?

What a bunch of b.s. If the democrats wanted to stop the court from being tipped toward conservatives ideologically, they would have attacked Gorsuch as much as they did Kavanaugh.

No, the REAL reason democrats attacked Kavanaugh so harshly and not Gorsuch is because Kavanagh had some serious issues while Gorsuch didn't. It's that simple.

The first bolded statement is demonstrably false. The Senate can decide to do nothing, and has

And if you have to ask the second, you clearly aren't paying attention. Kavanaugh, who is a moderate, was seen to upset the balance of the court.
