Every Congressional Republican is Thinking Right Now

“How did we get here and why the fuck hasn’t Kavanaugh withdrawn?”

That is the best possible outcome at this point.

I would put good money on the fact that Senate vote never takes place. It would be a political disaster beyond the current level of disaster for them at this point.

I don’t expect Kavanaugh’s testimony to go well.

And the greed of trying to rule the SCOTUS for 40+ years had made them fly far too close to the sun that this is the moment of their immolation.

Women voting for Democrats. They have been showing their strength since January 2017.

Women not convinced will vote for the very men holding Dr. Ford in contempt as how she has the gall to accuse their boy of such deplorable conduct. The Republican attitude towards women solidifies that deplorability in their wanting Roe v. Wade overturned, refuse access to Birth Control, oppose wage fairness, suppress their right to vote because of economics, age, etc.

And I will say it...Women voting for Republicans are proving Hillary Clinton correct. They are deplorable.

beneath Dr. Ford's seat. This could not have gone any more badly for them. Their hiring of the prosecutor backfired in epic fashion.
