Given the left’s willingness to malign even the most honorable nominees, what candidate would let his or her name be submitted? Candidates would have to know that many left-wing activists would be willing to lie about them to destroy their confirmations.

And then the question for the Democratic Senators in the states President Trump carried in 2016 will be: Do you stand with the president or with the left-wing fanatics the people of your state repudiate?
