THE KEY TO VICTORY – AT 1:24 P.M. ET:  Libertarian writer Wayne Allyn Root, who did some of the best original research on the background of Barack Obama, has a fine column analyzing why Trump won again in the battle over Brett Kavanaugh.  Our quote of the day, but read the whole thing.  From Fox: 

Winning is all about being a relentless fighter. Being a bulldog. Being a bull in a china shop. It’s about fighting spirit. It’s about believing in yourself and your goals. It’s about fighting so hard, so passionately, you never let go until victory is achieved.

It’s about who wants it more. Trump always wants it more.

That’s what Trump is all about -- the fight. Sure, you get bruised and battered and slandered. Sure, it hurts. But anything worth having is worth fighting for.

Trump proved it in the 2016 election. He was attacked, denigrated, slandered, and humiliated more than any politician in world history. But he never backed down. Instead, he doubled down. He came right back at his critics. Winston Churchill said, “When you find yourself in hell, just keep going.” Trump just kept going…and fighting.

And after being called all those bad names, and all that slander, for the rest of all-time, he’s called “President Donald J. Trump.” Was it worth it? You bet it was.

Churchill also said, “Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never...” That rule is more important than anything else.

It’s the reason Trump keeps getting his brains beat in and yet always comes out ahead. He’s bloody, dizzy, staggering, but his arms are raised in victory. You can’t beat Trump, because you can’t outlast Trump.

COMMENT:  Even people who are not particularly fond of the president are starting to admire his fighting spirit.  America loves a fighter.  And his ability to connect with voters and their concerns will be a major factor in next month's midterms.
