It energizes both bases. It looks like it might turn a couple of red states that have blue senators into red states with red senators. A lot of people don't like Trump, but as long as they have a job and their income continues to increase, they will probably vote Republican.

Kavanaugh was over the top emotional at his coached testimony. Nothing but fake emotions. Women see him as a very weak male.

Ahem, Trump supporters are not republicans. Got it?
The emotional ones would probably vote that way anyhow. The analytical ones will look at how Ford's allegations were handled, withheld and leaked by the Democrats and vote the other way. Feinstein will probably get replaced with another Democrat. Her behavior has been reprehensible.
By the way, the democratic party does not tell nor dictate how or who women will vote for. Most of the women I know feel that Ford is a fraud and doesn't represent anything other than herself, especially not all women. Women arent as dumb as the elitist rich liberals think they are.
The whole "investigation " is a waste of time because the democratic party will vote 100% along party lines and the Republicans will do the same minus one or two.
the FBI report is 1000+ pages
there is one copy
100 senators and 9 selected aides can read it one at a time
the 109 readers have 24 hours to completely review the report
the report will not be available for review during the entire 24 hours

Do you really think all 109 of them are going to read it? All but 4-5 have already made their minds up. What is in it is not going to change their minds.

Boom!
McConnell files cloture to end debate on Kavanaugh nomination - this sets up a Saturday confirmation vote. The FBI has apparently completed their investigation and are expected to release their findings to the Senate tomorrow.
Kavanaugh is coming.
Dems lose again
https://www.vox.com/2018/10/3/17934260/mitch-mcconnell-brett-kavanaugh-clotureThat FBI investigation was a farce. Trump told them who they could and could not interview. Early on I predicted BK would be on the Supreme Court. The RepubliKKKKans couldn't care less about BK assaulting Ford. I don't know if he did or didn't but it doesn't matter. They have the votes. One thing I know for sure is BK lied but that doesn't matter to the racist right either. As long as their guy Trump gets a win. Elections have consequences. Thank you Trailer Park AmeriKKKa......you gave us this fool.

How would you know "what is in it"? Are you one of the 109?

It would be nice if they hadn't scrubbed social media of her lectures, otherwise we would have a baseline to compare against. She appeared to be on some form of drug when she testified. She very rarely went off script.
Too bad they didn't cross examine her some more. Starting to think she could have been actually lying rather than misremembering.
Like a bunch of scorned Democrats

Thinking is something you are not capable of.

This is a correct assessment. Flake & Collins are leaning "yes" now. Murkowski has been quiet, so far- but she will decide "yes" too. That pushes Kavanaugh over the goal line. Furthermore, I expect at least 2 democrat defections.
54-46 to confirm - remains my prediction

All of the women Senators do know how to read.

An interview of Ford by the FBI would only hurt her case more, not help it. She looked as good as she was going to look with her prepared statement. She was interviewed with kid gloves by the Senate for political reasons. If interviewed by a real interrogator her story would completely break down as much of her testimony does not pass the common sense test (once your free you don't scream with your best friend and former beau within earshot?).
You're so predictable. Nearly everything you say is a lie.
Lying? FFF that
