You fail to understand me. I am concerned that his tweet will be used as a reason to delay the confirmation. It needs to move forward and Ford needs to be left behind, a insignificant blip in the history of USSC nominations.

In one post you say we are fighting a battle and need to treat it that way.

Then you turn around in your next post and criticize President Trump for posting a Twitter message that might be so insensitive that Kavanaugh's confirmation gets delayed.

That's like saying FDR and General MacArthur should never use the term "Japs" because it might cause people in Congress to stop supporting the war effort in 1943.

No offense, but I think Christine "Betty" Ford is no more unhinged than a lot of people right here on FreeRepublic.

The Dems don't need a reason to delay the vote. It has been their objective all along and remains so. We will see what will happen by how Grassley responds to the absurd list of demands. The goal posts have been moved again and again.

The timing of the release of these allegations after the hearings and just before the committee vote was always part of the insurance plan. With or without a tweet, the Dems will still delay and delay hoping for more GOP concessions.
