    Don't be shy, now. You'd sail through the confirmation process in three minutes.

    Voter registration is way up. Would think that benefits Dems in the midterms (and I think it has more to do with the Oct. 9 deadline in many states more than any Taylor Swift effect).

    Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Democrats is followed by a spike in voter registrations

    New poll has Dems plus-13 on the generic ballot.

    2018 election: Democrats are fired up and maintain a strong lead according to poll - CNNPolitics

    And Dems are plus-30 with women at this point.

    Certainly nothing is guaranteed, and I won't believe Dem midterm turnout until I see it. But all appear to be good signs for taking the House, at least.

    No reason to act on intel, he was an Enemy of the People.

    I am too damned old to appreciate that Taylor Swift- a truly terrible artist- could move the needle even a little bit.

    No reason to doubt him, really. We all know he doesn't (know how to) read the daily intel briefings. I actually think he's telling the truth.

    I'm certainly not in her demo. Know a couple of songs. She does appear to have a loyal following. But the registration spike was likely due to the deadline. But the increase is a good thing either way.

    "He was some kinda raghead, and besides he was a reporter. Who cares? I listen to the important parts of the briefings."

    Deskgrunt-
    Anything to make them sweat is fine.
    I'd just like a bigger name.
    Like Timberlake, a Tennessean who is mum on politics but has been spotted with Jessica Biel at HRC fund-raisers.

    This is the world we live in: I can't stand Taylor Swift and haven't been able to for a good eight years but now I have to like her.

    I'm not a fan, either, but she is a very big name.
