The game plan is to run out the clock.
This very moment there is a script being prepared for her to memorize and practice. The script will raise issues that will cause deliberations to last for enough time to derail Kavanaugh.
As I posted before, I believe there is an unwritten rule or policy, an understanding among members of Congress that in the 30 days preceding an election, no business is concluded that could sway or influence voters.
The midterm election is Tuesday, November 6, and the 30-day window would start Saturday, October 6 and end Monday, November 5.
Once she arrives this week, the script must raise enough doubts or talking points to carry deliberations through October 5. At the hearing, she will be assisted by Democrats who will take all week to question her and then there will also be time for Kavanaughs response which the Democrats will drag out as well.
All the while, the corporate media will let this madness dominate the news cycle, and we are likely to see polls announced that the public believes her and not him, etc.
I expect to see delay and drama unfold in such a manner to allow Democrats to go home to campaign for the election explaining that the matter of Kavanaugh can be taken up when they get back.
Their only hope is to run out the clock to the Midterms and then win the Midterms.
And (if it exists)...the one about Gorsuch.
The Republicans led by Grassley and McConnell control this, whether they want to or not. They need to get their house in order (with any senators of concern), then say: “The committee votes Monday at 10 a.m. to move this to the Senate and the Senate votes on Thursday. We’ve gone far beyond any reasonable accomodation and will negotiate nothing further. The decision to testify or not rests entirely on you, and you are fully aware of the confirmation vote schedule.
Next thing you know she will be trying to pick the Senators allowed to ask her questions.
Don’t doubt me...
3rd question
Why do you wake up every Monday morning with your face looking like a glazed donut?
If the committee acquiesces and holds the hearing on Thursday, not Monday as currently planned, then it sounds to me like Ford gets everything she wants and the Republicans once again give in and lose.
This whole thing is so stupid!
Nothing final! Letter from Katz and Ford simply says they’d like to talk more about the details.
No testifying until the details are worked out so.................
Game plan seems to be to “agree” to testify but only under conditions impossible to grant so as to be able to charge EVIL Republicans with keeping her from testifying.
Well sadly, you’re probably right. I have visions of her looking so foolish and a bit sad, my heart sings.
Day?
Time?
Conditions?
Guarantee that the vote will be held immediately if she doesn’t show?
Actually, these people are so used to running their mouths without repercussions. Im totally betting on her team as a No Show....they run too big a risk to show up....They will get much more mileage out of Crying Wolf with their base, if she tries to run her sob story as the reason she is too traumatized to speak in front of a group of men....they will give her a pass for failing to appear and continue to run their hysterical narrative no matter what.

Great quote!
If she doesn’t want to fly, how does she even get there in time?
I wont be surprised at all to see Dr. Ford interviewed tomorrow night on
60 MINUTES, and perhaps by Oprah!
Dems can try all they want, but you can’t coach up crazy.
She will testify until she decides not to......
***************
At this point there is no reason to believe her on ANYTHING.
And she will then need another week or so to decide whether to accept the newly negotiated terms
No kidding! :)
What a scam. What a scammer, What a scamming legal team..
