Republican supporters are reacting to Democratic "mob" protests of President Trump and his Supreme Court pick with something that might be more important in the midterm congressional elections than signs and shouts -- money and shoe leather.

Republican National Committee officials have revealed that during the height of the fight over Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the court, donations surged an unheard of 500 percent.

And that followed another donor surge in the month before, including one day that marked the largest online fundraising day ever.

What’s more, volunteers have flooded into party offices eager to help get out the vote in the midterm elections. One fact: 50 percent of those the party cold called to seek their help in the upcoming election committed to volunteering, far more than the typical 7 percent.
