This whole thing is nuts. They just need to move on to the next candidate, if they can find one that isn't a potential rapist and it appears that is a tall order anymore. They need to put forth a woman, it is highly unlikely a woman was molesting and potentially raping anyone in high school or anywhere else. I also hope they really do conduct some kind of investigation. If there is enough corroboration then he needs to pay for what he has done.
 
Why do republicans keep questioning her about her fear of flying? How is this helping with anything? I’m not following this line of questioning.

And yeah, Orrin Hatch is a joke. He and Grassley are walking examples of why we need term limits. The way these two have treated the women involved in these accusations have been deplorable. But that’s what you should expect when your party is led by a man who bragged about, “grabbing women by the *****.”
 
These guys know that an election is just right around the corner, right?

Whatever their strategy is it's not working. Dr Ford is coming across as even more sympathetic and believable with her responses to the prosecutor.

The optics of this are terrible for the GOP, they look like spineless cowards who are putting the sexual assault victim on trial.
 
This is ugly. It's becoming a question of what Kavanaugh was like when he got ****-faced drunk. Ford's testimony of the attack seems credible. She just can't seem to get a corroborating witness.

It feels like they're trying to paint her as paranoid and overly cautious. An attempt to innoculate themselves against the accusations; belittle them.
 
I think that by going after how she chose her lawyers, who paid for the polygraph etc, they were attempting to establish a narrative that she's being manipulated into this somehow. Suffice to say that fell flat.

Maybe the most remarkable part of the entire hearing was Mitchell's final statement essentially calling these proceedings a sham, and inferring that Ford is to blame for the format somehow??

So strange.

Anyway any Republican Senator who decries the lack of corroboration for her story needs a swift kick in the ***. They had ample opportunity to order an FBI investigation or at minimum have present the individuals who could have provided such corroboration. It's incredibly telling that neither occurred.

The funny thing is, it’s up to the president to order an FBI investigation, so he’s calling his president a sham
 
The decision to hire this prosecutor has been pretty bizarre in execution. She's treating it like it's a deposition rather than a public hearing and doesn't seem to know how to develop a line of questioning within the (arbitrary) time limit.

Honestly, if I were the Dems I'd be framing this as "11 men chose to vote for this nominee and refused to even speak to his accuser directly before doing it." I remain of the belief that Kavanaugh will be confirmed anyway.
