I don't know how anybody thought that went well. The entire thing was kind of a circus that doesn't make the Democrats look good either, and I don't think anyone had their mind changed today. Having said that - how does anybody think Kavanaugh gave a good testimony? He needed to be calm and consistent, not hysterical. Ford's testimony probably didn't change anybody's mind, but Kavanaugh's could have. Even if he isn't guilty, which nobody has proven he is, he certainly comes off as a little unhinged.

This is on the Democrats. Period. This is a Far Left Shit Show.

Kavanaugh's passion today was mostly about defending his family and reputation.

To the extent proof was offered, it clearly showed he didn't do it. She may have had the horrible experience, but he didn't do it.

At first I wasn't sure about the anger, but then I had to put myself in his position. He has been accused of some serious crimes, including gang rape, and his hearing has been pushed back and back while his name, family, and reputation have been absolutely dragged through the mud. He has to explain to his two daughters that he's not a gang rapist. I would be furious.

The most ridiculous part of the hearing had to be Richard Blumenthal opining about credibility and saying "false in one, false in all" when this guy falsely claimed to have fought in the vietnam war for years. The gall to be able to do that is incredible. Honorable mention goes to Cory Booker who has actually admitted to having groped girls in his younger days moralizing to Kavanaugh about sexual assault.
