    Ivanka Tells Daddy to Cut Kavanaugh loose; Trump uncertain about Kavanaugh's Bush Background

    According to Vanity Fair....

    https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018...-trump-ivanka\

    According to sources, several factors are at play. White House advisers are worried that more damaging information about Kavanaugh could come out. Two sources told me the White House has heard rumors that Ford’s account will be verified by women who say she told it to them contemporaneously. People worry, without apparent evidence, of another Ronan Farrow bomb dropping. One source says Ivanka Trump has told her father to “cut bait” and drop Kavanaugh.

    Another reason Trump hasn’t gone to the mat for Kavanaugh is that he’s said to be suspicious of Kavanaugh’s establishment pedigree. “‘He’s a Bush guy, why would I put myself out there defending him?’” Trump told people, according to a former White House official briefed on the conversations. Trump also has expressed frustration with White House counsel Don McGahn, who aggressively lobbied for him to choose Kavanaugh, a source said. “Trump wants this guy on the court, but Trump knows there are five other people he could put on the court if this falls apart,” a former official said.

    Perhaps the plan was always to drop him to energize the base to vote in the midterms and then we will get someone better?

    The Democrat plan is to delay this until after the elections, as they hope that it will energize their base, and if they take control of the Senate, they will choose the next Supreme.

    ‘He’s a Bush guy

    And a Clinton clean up guy too, picks up Hillary's spent shell casings after she's done shooting Vince Foster, and stuff like that.

    It sounds almost counter intuitive like the democrats don't want to win. The talking points that they run on always increase Republican turnout. Their entire motive is to farm progressive voters for political contributions especially from vulnerable people because they can't fight back.

    Was similar 5D Chess involved in case of GOP Senate seat in AL or there Ivanka-Trump took differing positions under some other strategy?

    In related news, there is no proof that GOP-Jarvanka wing is secretly siding with liberal Dem in Florida governor race.
