She is not the problem here. Kavanaugh lied several times and his theatrics prove he was guilty in his own mind. White privilege and a sense of entitlement came through loud and clear. He is not fit to wipe Ford's ass.

This isn’t about Kavanaugh, do you think the same tactic was not planned for whoever the nominee was ?

It would have been interesting the crap that would have been thrown by the Dems. if the chick would have been selected for the nomination to SC.

But he's not wrong. Right from the get-go various Democrats said they would block ANY SC nomination by Trump. I didn't realize an SC nominee was supposed to be impartial while his character is being assassinated for purely political purposes.
You didn't realize that? I see, you don't expect the judiciary to be judicial, and expect the political branches not to be political.

You're funny!

Kavanaugh's character is being revealed.

If that amounts to assassination that's because his character is lacking.

Why the Kavanaugh case will kill the GOP at midterms

But make no mistake, even if the FBI gives Kavanaugh a clean bill of health for his nomination, this will play out to the detriment of Republicans who already are down by 7 points to 8 points in the generic ballot for Congress. Republicans may have saved themselves from committing harakiri with their last minute decision to involve the FBI, but it is unclear whether that will do more than delay a slow death for a longer period.

That is possible, but it could just as easily swing it to the Republicans......who have not misbehaved in any way in this process.


The same can not be said for the Democrats.


Remember the 2016 election? The conventional wisdom was women were going to elect Hillary...........then 52% of the women that voted, voted for Trump..........a higher percentage than men.

btw Hillary got 54% of the female vote versus 42% for Trump

as usual you have a tenuous grasp of the facts.

what you meant to say was that a majority of white woman voted for trump

I don't think that anyone doubts or denies that Dr. Ford has had some stressful moments in her life, but who hasn't by the time they reach 50. What possible good is she doing herself dwelling on it? She has to learn to get over it and find something else to focus on. Wallowing in misery serves no one!

You're correct, I apologize..........it was 52% of white women that voted for Trump......I missed the racial part of the stat.


In the scorekeeping of our debates, that's one for you.



378 for me. :)

About as accurate as most of your other "facts"

I do congratulate you for admitting an error.
