Where are these mythical Republican women that haven't already been turned off by the rest of the proceedings coming from though?
You can't have a last straw for a happy camel, as it were.
The camels are starting to sound rather unhappy.

Mostly in the suburbs, hopefully, among college educated, middle class Republican women. Trump can always appoint another conservative judge to the court, although it will be interesting to see what happens if the Democrats take control of the Senate in the midterms. I think that is exactly what they are worried about, so they are desperately going to try to ram this (alleged) drunken frat boy rapist through.
If the Democrats do take control of the Senate, I hope they retaliate. McConnell denied Obama an appointment for the last year of his presidency, so the Democrats should deny Trump an appointment for the last two years of his presidency. The Republicans want to play dirty politics, so the Democrats need to go Chicago Way on their sorry butts rather than just playing noble and sucking it up. I don't want to spend the rest of my life having to suck it up just because Democratic politicians decided to be noble.

Trump is babbling at the press right now. Anyone want to guess how many times he will put his big foot in his big mouth so far he will need a crowbar to get it out before the press conference is over?
I'm gonna say, oh, 10 idiotic statements and 6 outright lies.

IF this nomination is scuttled due to all these frat-rapist allegations, and
IF the Democrats take control of the Senate,
the only sensible nomination for Drumpf to make would be..........

One of the things that concerns me most though is that Kavanaugh still has his calender from 1982:

Colbert put it best - "The only thing I kept from high school were deep emotional scars."
So not only is Kavanaugh an Ivy educated rapist piece of shit, he's also a loser who peaked in high school.

Keeping a calendar like that as a teenager and still having it as an adult is basically proof that you're a psychopath.

Watching the various reactions (including Fox News) from Dr. Ford’s testimony paints the picture than Kavanaugh’s nomination should be sunk. $50 says the GOP sinks even lower and nominates him anyway.

I think if Kav had resisted the urge to assert himself so self-righteously before leaving, they would go ahead with his nom.
Now I'm not so sure...
