Republicans are going all in on this guy. At least the ones like Graham are. As callous and indifferent as their statements are, I'm sure they'll be fine if this all blows over. But if it doesn't - if it's found that these allegations have teeth and these women are being truthful -- they're going to be look like utterly complicit monsters. Link to comment

methodical Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I can't understand what their calculus is here. Are there actually enough entitled narcissistic men that they make up enough of the vote that doubling down on this is worth it somehow? Is this another case like Roy Moore where being republican and anti-abortion is their sole qualification needed for these people and it's better the rapist you know than literally anyone else? How in the hell are people like Orin Hatch and Chuck Grassley still there? It should be embarrassing for their supporters and states, that's right I'm side-eyeing you council bluffs... 2 Link to comment

Moiraine Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Female candidates from both parties are treading carefully on the allegations, fearful of alienating suburban women. This headline bothers me. Is the non-suburban woman's vote taken for granted? The Democrats take it for granted and the GOP doesn't even try to get it? 1 Link to comment

They only see the worst in people and world around them and the worst people they know are themselves. So when he'd say things like that, I just added this at the end in my head ", because that's what I'd be doing." at the end and it made sense. It was repugnant, but it explains a lot about their mentality, its projection. Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 To step away from all these gross accusations for a minute, a more practical argument against Kavanaugh: He is a trojan horse of the Haves trying to push their boot down on the throat of the Have-Nots. They can dress him up as an originalist or a fair-minded nonpartisan or whatever they like, but he is what he is. He's a GOP partisan and a safeguard of the wealthy and Big Business against the interests of the public. 2 Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Grassley sounded aged well beyond the point of being an effective senator. He was getting lost in the middle of prepared sentences, for crying out loud. Also, striking: Link to comment
