How exactly does one defend against 35 year old smears?
Tell us. We would all like to know.
As of now there's nothing to defend. This is clearly a "Fail Mary" as desperate Democrats try for one last chance to scuttle Kavanaugh's place on the Supreme Court, which is for them, a catastrophe.
Roy Moore's campaign fell apart when many people, including some of Moore's own supporters, started thinking there might be some element of truth behind the allegations. As of now, this isn't the case with Kavanaugh and I'm not expecting any "surprises" will surface to make people think otherwise. Unless some significant evidence surfaces, Kavanaugh will become the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
