Donald Trump used her as a prop before one of the debates, and if things get particularly bad for Kavanaugh, I wouldn't doubt he namedrops her again in one of his tweets.

And then we on the left are forced to endure the internal handwringing, "Should we believe her or not? Would not believing her make us less credible? Etc."

Because that is what will inevitably happen. It happened with Franken and we lost a good Senator because of it.

We prepare now so we're not caught off guard later.
