What on earth could the committee possibly learn from her? ‘Umm, yeah, it happened, totally.’ ‘I see. And we have a statement from (long list of people) saying it never happened the way you described it.’ ‘They're all lying...’
Yep, there's nothing that comes from summoning a California Democrat to testify before the committee about allegations which, if every single aspect were absolutely true, would have no bearing on the nomination, unless you're contemplating the probative value of examining underage drinking in the 1980’s...
I'm sure that Graham was assured there was no chance of her being called before the committee before posting that, lovely cover for those who might be ‘enraged’ about ‘not hearing her story.’ Yeah, we'll hear it, over and over and over again for the next couple weeks, each re-telling coming with new memories of that horrible event that derailed her from becoming, whatever, and instead becoming an university professor.
Anyone laying Odds at which way Collins and Murkowski will Vote since this came out?
This is what happens when you have a razor thin Majority. One GOP Senator gets an attack of the Vapors and that’s that.
Cruz is in a quandary here after running away from Judge Roy Moore, like a little girl, for basically the exact same type of accusation.
“Wasted:Tales of a Gen X Drunk” is the guy’s book. His last name is Judge, ironically.
Moore lost and will never be nominated by Republican primary voters for anything anymore. You can stop defending him now.
Different school, different professor.
McCain must’ve had a real grip on Linda’s pu$$ee
This is their modus operandi with everyone we put forward.
If you think, dang, we should pick someone with less baggage, you’re fallen into a trap because no matter who you pick, if you pick Mother Theresa, they will have oppo research in their back pockets to spring at the worst moment. Doesn’t have to be true, it usually isn’t true, but its what they do.
They need to ignore this and proceed to a vote. And God help any Repub who doesn’t stand up for Kavanaugh.
>>>It’s a 2-seat majority. Pence can break a tie. Collins and Murkowski would have to both bail, while also not getting any Democratic votes<<<
Sorry, you are mistaken. There are 51 GOP Senators.
If two GOP Senators Vote with the 49 Rats / Independents, it’s 51 to 49 and Kavanaugh is Borked. That can only happen if they have the Votes to get it out of Committee which is now an issue with Collins.
VP Pence can only break a Tie which means only ONE GOP defection could be tolerated.
Strings cut.
Do you think No Name was a huge albatross around Grahamnesty?
Reread your Post. My initial response was based on mistaken impression that you thought two GOP Senators could bail and Pence could still Vote in favor of Kavanaugh to get him confirmed.
Sorry for the mistake.
Flake could flake out..
and with the 3.. it goes nowhere.
I personally put no weight on Ford's accusation since she can't seem to remember how many "attackers" were involved, it is long past the statute of limitations and Feinstein sat on the evidence for so long.
And as a little bit of extra punishment, McConnell should hold the Senate in session for as long as necessary to handle this.
I have to say, Lindsey has been a nice surprise these last few months. She’s been solid.

What the hell are you people talking about???? They should give a platform to this lunatic liar??? What are you smoking? Is it April 1? This is a grotesque thread.
This woman should be verbally shredded and sued for defamation, as well as the pussy’s like Linda giving her even the tiniest bit of credibility.
I have to agree with you. This woman is a lunatic. May as well have Hillary testify against Kavanaugh. What insanity.
This woman is bat poop crazy.
Really makes one wonder how much influence McCain may have had over Graham.”
Apparently Lindsey Graham doesn't have the ability to think for himself. Maybe he's chosen someone new to tell him what to think who's more conservative than McCain was. He's obviously not a man of principle, and will never side with Trump over the establishment.
He’s always had the tendency to get it right at times. The problem with Linda is inconsistency, because its always political, not principled.
