DEMS/ELECTION/GOP/SUPREME COURT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Seeking to boost Republican turnout in key Minnesota battlegrounds, President Donald Trump attacked Democrats Thursday [10-4-18] night, arguing that their ‘rage-fueled resistance’ to his Supreme Court nominee will motivate GOP voters this fall. Speaking before a cheering crowd at a rally in Rochester, Trump praised Judge Brett Kavanaugh, whose nomination has faltered amid accusations of sexual misconduct. Of Democrats, he said, ‘Their rage-fueled resistance is starting to backfire at a level nobody has ever seen before.’ Added Trump: ‘Do we love it? We love it. Because people see what’s happening and they don’t like it.’ As Republicans face a tough midterm election cycle, Trump is trying to boost turnout. The GOP is hoping to fend off a Democratic effort to recapture the House of Representatives.”
