You think that someone who went to Georgetown Prep didn't have connections?
There's a reason people send their kids to boarding schools that cost $56k/year (today's GP rate) -- it's because those schools are "king makers." They specifically cater to the extremely rich and well-connected who want to make sure their children will be rich and well-connected.
It's why Trump said Kavanaugh “was born — you talk about central casting — he was born... he was born for the U.S. Supreme Court. He was born for it."
Well, Kavanaugh said he didn't have any connections. If you are saying he lied, then ok, I'll buy that. There are other ways to pay for an expensive all boys school though. Here' s the thing...I am not defending this guy at all. He's a scum. That was clear in his testimony. He is clearly lying, and by watching his wife, I think she knows it. His policy positions are crazy to begin with. There is no question though that he was a talented student at an extreme level. Yale is arguably one of the top 5 Universities in the country and very difficult to get in if you are not a recruited athlete, and he was not. He then was accepted into the Yale Law school which is annually ranked even higher nationally than the undergraduate school.
There is no question that he is intellectually gifted.
It does appear though that he has a sense of entitlement, does not respect women based on accusations and his positions on women's health, and showed poor judgement when being so partisan in his hearing.
He has some sort of a blind spot with regard to proper behavior as I have already said. That is a different thing than his intelligence.
It would be a rare person who graduated from Yale AND then Yale Law School who is not exceptionally intelligent.
Is there some reason you dismiss the testimony of the women who vouch for his character, people who actually KNOW him, including his ex-girlfriend who Congressional Investigator’s tracked down in response to an extremely flimsy, anonymous tip?
https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/sep/27/dabney-friedrich-refutes-mothers-anonymous-accusat/What nerve you have projecting your own biased opinions upon his wife, and making ridiculous conclusions about what she thinks or feels. You don’t know her. You’ve never met her. The thought that you think you could know how she might feel about all of this is a joke. You’ve just outed yourself as a total loon, and an insensitive one at that. I guess you only care about certain types of women.
