I support Kavanaugh but the President’s tweet was a big mistake. I am surprised you can’t understand that. He should have avoided tweeting anything negative about her personally. Instead he should have made it clear he believes Kavanaugh was never involved in any sexual misconduct. If he wanted to mention police reports he should have mentioned that any and all evidence including contemporary police reports would be reviewed by the committee. Let the public speculate why there were no reports.

He basically handed those who oppose Kavanaugh’s appointment and confirmation a way to distract the public from Kavanaugh’s qualifications and personal integrity. Now the focus will stay on the sexual assault allegations and the truth may very well be lost in a frenzy to support victims by rejecting Kavanaugh or at the least delaying the process. Guilt will no longer matter.

Trump has done this time and time again, and when the oppo tries to take this off message he will hammer them by bringing it right back on message.

And you forget that the last 96hrs have shown that the voting public is really riled up and itching for a political bloodbath on this issue. The left raised it as a twofer - to knock out K and to distract from russiagate. It was a stupid error because they are bringing Armageddon on the entire political class that colludes with the new Bolsheviks.

Let the public speculate why there were no reports.

How informed is the general public on the issue? The Dems are already claiming that Ford is telling the truth. Hollywood put out a video supporting her. Sen Whitehouse is already saying that they will move to impeach Kavanaugh if he is confirmed and will launch an investigation of him. The Dems are making a big deal out of the fact that 11 old GOP white men on the committee will be interviewing her. Ford is the brave martyr going against the patriarchy.

Trump has over 50 million followers on twitter. He understands that the public is moving against Kavanaugh's confirmation. The court of public opinion is very relevant to many in the GOP who are fearful that they will be killed by the women's vote in the midterms. Hence, there is virtually no one on our side going after FORD for her lack of specificity and clearly partisan background. Will any of the Rep members of the Judiciary Committee have the stones to go after her?

The Dems will stick together on the vote now that this allegation has provided them cover to vote no on Kavanaugh. Just two Reps need to be turned to stop Kavanaugh.
