Is this thing going to blow up in the Democrats faces? Is this unraveling?
Yup
I never thought she would testify. The pressure on her would be absolutely enormous. If she did appear, her credibility would be shredded under questioning. I seriously doubt she is willing to take that risk of self destruction.
Kavanaugh on the other hand will stand tall and his reputation will actually be enhanced.
Sure hope it’s unraveling! They may have gone to this particular well one time too many...if the MSM would honestly report everything that is going on, most of the public would see this smear campaign for what it is!
There are a few squishy Senators on the R side but Judge Kavanaugh is not going to allow his good name to be destroyed and Corker, Flake, and Collins better start backing him! If this woman refuses to testify under oath on Monday, then the vote should happen that day!!
Yes, she will won’t appear to testify.
Kavanaugh has tons of female character witnesses. Ford has none.
Its over. This isn’t Anita Hill Redux. There is no allegation of sexual harassment, no pubic hair on a Coke can and no semen-stained dress.
There is no objective, independent and verifiable evidence of a crime.
Only the seriousness of the charge - but it’s not credible.
I think they thought when they got the first lie out there others would come forward. That blew up in their faces
My guess is polling isn’t encouraging for them
“Is this thing going to blow up in the Democrats faces? Is this unraveling?”
Honestly, I don’t know. The democrats are playing the “she won’t testify until the FBI investigates” card. But the FBI doesn’t investigate local misdemeanors whose statutes of limitations has closed. So they’re up a creek without a paddle with that one.
I think Flake wants to vote no in committee (just to be an ass) but wants cover. And this gives him cover. But Grassley is being very fair and the democrats aren’t. So I think it will be Flake that will be forced into a corner (though he’s out of office next year and might not care).
But moderates always like to appear to be reasonable, and voting no just based on an accusation alone is not reasonable. So Flake may vote Aye in committee and plan on defeating Kavanaugh on the floor.
We’ll be SO better off when these types are gone. Murkowski would be gone already but for McConnell and Cornyn supporting her independent run. We wouldn’t have to worry about Joe Miller’s vote. But they do this stuff on purpose. Water over the dam.
Back to my original statement. I don’t know.
I don't know but I'll be happy to help these spineless RINO's lose their majority if they don't make sure Kavanaugh is voted on the court.
“Is this thing going to blow up in the Democrats faces? Is this unraveling?”
It’s definitely unraveling...they will try to ease out of it with minimal damage, Feinstein will take a significant hit, Schumer (who opened his mouth prominently on national TV) will take a scratch or two. Mostly, they will quietly slink away from the light, like the cockroaches they are.
I hope so, but if it does unravel, there'll be another whack-job accuser popping up within a few hours.
Yes. Grassley called their bluff and now the accuser is caving.
