When Mitt Romney was wrongly accused by Sen Reid that Mitt had not paid any taxes in the last ten years, after Romney lost and Reid was confronted with the lie, Reid's comment was, "Well he didn't win, did he?", hinting that the false story stuck for the purposes of attacking Romney.
We have a similar thing here. If Kavanaugh is bounced, then he is exonerated, the left will say, "He never became a Justice, did he?".
