(10,721 posts)It's going to take a mountain of evidence to sway any Republican, much less 2 or more Republicans. I'm not even convinced video of Kavanaugh committing sexual assault would do the trick. That party is ethically bankrupt.

That seems to be going too far for office.

(11,572 posts)That type of pathological behavior doesnt occur in a vacuum. The GOP letter signed by women he didnt assault is a tell and so very lame.
Or, at this point in time, is it just an allegation?

(6,291 posts)about the attempted rape, my visceral reaction to him was that he was a rapist.
Gut, strong reaction. If that was my reaction, others must have had it. And it must be based on something.
Which is why it will not surprise me if a few more do not come forward. And I suspect his rapes or attempted rapes were not confined to women, or those his age.
He has a very cruel cold field about him. The way he walked away from the Stoneman Douglas dad....
