Did you notice the obvious repeating of certain phrases ala Fox news/republican type talking points? The hours of practice at the WH was showing, though I'm sure most people didn't notice.
I wouldn't bet on her voting against Kavanaugh no matter what. She talks a big game but always votes whatever way the Trumpublicans need her to.
Quite true. The flip side is we all know there was and remains a toxic culture in high school and college, typically centered around sports teams and fraternities, often enabled by coaches, parents and alumni and always involving alcohol. Kavanaugh was clearly a participant in that culture.I feel like his interview last night was a very bad idea, at least how he did it. He seemed to go way too far towards the claims that he was focused on getting good grades, playing sports, and being a fine upstanding citizen with little interest in partying beyond that of a normal kid. Regardless of whether or not you think he committed these various assaults I think few people believe he wasn't very interested in partying. When you lie about the small stuff it makes people wonder if you're lying about the big stuff.

Problems when your defense is too vigorous and goes beyond the accusations at hand. His new extended claims of virtue are inevitably going to be (and already are being) worn down by other people who knew him at the time. Why open another front into questions about your credibility?

The virgin defense is absurd. His only chance now is if Avenatti’s ego blows the whole thing up.Problems when your defense is too vigorous and goes beyond the accusations at hand.

The issue has also exposed McConnell and his horde of ethically/morally barren politico hucksters for the specious conniving caricatures that they are. It has also brought to light how disgusting and underhanded they can be when they blindly pursue an agenda for no other reason than to solidify and expand their corruption of the gov't at its highest levels.
Totally. I was an athlete while in high school in Dearborn in the 70's and 80's and barely escaped that culture with my life. Parties, booze, pot, girls all enjoyed with impunity while authority figures turned blind eyes...
And he was a virgin when he got married. He,he .I only read excerpts from it but I think I know what you mean. Sounds like he was coached to admit nothing. He even went out of his way to emphasize that when people at those parties were drinking it was because they were of legal age. Come on man... literally no one believes you that underage drinking wasn't going on. We have all been in high school.
I want to meet the guy that only now figured out what a snake McConnell is.
This thread is about the Kavanaugh nomination which dates back to July 9th.3 week old sample is 3 weeks old...
It's gotten to the point where McConnell has been so blatant about his underhanded methods toward forwarding the conservative push to keep control of the gov't even though they will eventually become the minority party that many of their constituency have acquired an attitude where they have become the new rebel front looking to cause as much damage and obstruction as possible to the inner workings of the gov't in order to "save it from itself".
It's the 'ol "Well if we can't have it according to the rules then we'll wreck it bad enough to where we can get it back again" thingy.
How so? Be specific. Also doesn't take independents into consideration.It's a reflection of the public's opinion about how the Kavanaugh nomination is going.
Why would you not take independents into consideration? Especially since independents moving to the Republican side is what bolstered their numbers.How so? Be specific. Also doesn't take independents into consideration.

**BREAKING**
Kavanaugh's Yale roommate says he was a drunken aggressive mess, also vouches for the victim's honesty

I don't think Kavanaugh's 'but i was a virgin who only focused on sports and my education' schtick is going to work.
Yeah, just because he didn't do it is no reason for him to get away with not doing it.His absurd denials are supremely arrogant. He believes he can get away with denying absolutely everything, and will not have to answer for any of it.

Read my edit, there was zero mention of Kavanaugh nor SC picks, it doesn't say what you think it says.Why would you not take independents into consideration? Especially since independents moving to the Republican side is what bolstered their numbers.
"Republicans plus leaners"
Republican Party leaders may be insisting that they will install Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, but Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is offering a blunt warning of her own: Do not prejudge sexual assault allegations against the nominee that will be aired at an extraordinary public hearing on Thursday.
“We are now in a place where it’s not about whether or not Judge Kavanaugh is qualified,” Ms. Murkowski, a key swing Republican vote, said in an extended interview in the Capitol Monday night. “It is about whether or not a woman who has been a victim at some point in her life is to be believed.”
