IMO, the kind of voter who is going to be motivated to vote for Republicans by a Trump Supreme Court pick is going to be just as motivated by Kavanaugh as any of the other reported candidates. This post [i.e., the tweet I linked to] shows why. Supreme Court nominations are polarized and highly motivating to partisans. Swing voters don't care about them.

Trump has redefined conservatism. Trumpism is Conservatism. If there were a group of people who actually opposed some of trumps' policies or nominees who were Republicans I would worry about what to call them, but all I see are conservatives who support trump, some of whom whine a little while doing so.
And now the conservatives are defending Trump's insulting a Gold Star family. Conservative values at work.
