Josh Marshall lays his finger on an important truth here. The closer we get to an election, the more partisans come home. There was talk of a "Kavanaugh Effect," whereby Republicans rallied around the President and the GOP because Bart O'Kavanaugh had been treated so cruelly. The reality is that they were coming home regardless. Now that the election is over (and Democrats did well) his approval will slip some.
If - as I hope and pray - Trump goes down to a ringing defeat in 2020, he will be written out of the GOP history of this era.
