It will have an effect, but what effect will it have?
Sure, Trump is stirring up the base, but the base is not enough for winning elections. Goldwater and McGovern both got their Parties' bases in their blowout losses -- and little else.
Will Democrats be riled up by a Kavanaugh win should the fix be in, or will they recognize such as a catastrophic defeat that signals ruin for their chances this time, in which case Republicans consolidate a majority in the Senate? I can easily imagine the Republicans getting 8-1 majorities on the Supreme Court and making decisions in which Sonia Sotomayor is the sole dissenting vote.
