Grassley still has a few squishy Republicans to convince.

Yup. Most of the Republican Senators are itching to vote and get it done. There are two or three who want to be seen as extending every possible concession to Ford. At this point, I think that they anticipate voting to confirm Kavanaugh, but they will insist on taking every delaying tactic at face value until the last possible moment. To reduce it to a formula: how many obvious Democrat abuses does Susan Collins need to be able to recite to feel comfortable facing down protestors at a townhall meeting in Bangor? This is hard because Susan Collins never feels comfortable about any controversial issue.

Grassley and the pubs are creating kind and caring optics for the “Voting” pubic because this is about the mid terms as much as it is about this SC nominee.

We know they already have rounded up the votes to pass Kavanaugh if they vote on Monday. She is unwilling to testify under other and that’s what the committee is showing the Voting public. She will not appear under oath. That speak volumes.

Grassley has played this out perfectly including slow walking the Clown Roundup during the actual hearings. The voting public sees this for exactly what it is.
A political ploy. Polls show only a small number think this about Ford and her faulty memory banks.

The optics are....she is refusing to testify under oath and that’s the GOP has given her every opportunity to tell her story.

Guess she’ll have to tell it to Anderson Cooper on CBS Sunday night.
