At the Most Important Confirmation Hearing in 25 Years, Republicans Blew It
National Review ^ | September 27, 2018 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 09/27/2018 12:23:35 PM PDT by C19fan

Christine Blasey Ford was compelling and sympathetic. Clearly, she sincerely believes her account. But that doesn’t mean it’s correct. She very well could be mistaken about a long-ago memory, which is why Republicans needed to draw out the gaps in her story, walk through how others contradict her, and highlight the complete lack of corroborating evidence. The designated questioner, Rachel Mitchell, failed to do this effectively at all.

Her approach was to get Blasey on the record for a number of questions as if the Committee majority would have access to evidence with which to contradict her later.

If they don’t have access to such evidence, then yes it was not a good showing.

But the Republicans may have other evidence justifying such a strategy, so this remains to be seen.

What nonsense.....

I am so sick of small minds and small thinking...

Kavanaugh’s confirmation was never in any serious jeopardy today...

Who was going to change their vote over the accusation of a 17 year old drukenly groping a girl through her clothes? And that’s assuming you completely believed the accuser....

Should a 17 year old boy do that? no.. .but does that make him a sexual predator? Does it ruin them for life?

Come on folks, stop the hysterics....

Please!

All of this doesn’t matter one bit.

Those senators on the committee have already made up their minds, nothing in either one’s testimony is going to change how they’re going to vote on Friday. [I sure hope there’s a vote on Friday as scheduled.]

LOL, I learned long ago that women can fake sincerity, orgasms, pregnancy, paternity, etc.

Only an idiot takes her as sincere.

Wow. Judgment before the second side is even heard.

Lowry is making an idiotic assertion.

Chris Wallace also indicated that GOP blew it so they must be right. /s

Looked to me like she was just establishing a baseline of facts. Not a cross examination.

Judge Kavanaugh is removing that FAIL right now with his very STRONG SPEECH.

Get ready to call him Justice Kavanaugh as of Friday.

I agree. What a bunch of cry-babies. We’ll see how the vote goes and then bring out the champaign - or the tar and feathers.

This is won in how the senators believe the Women will handle this. He may be tailoring this to the women of the US. Men may not be impressed, but they are already in his court.

His speech is not for us here. We already know this is a farce.
