heard one of the senators say that only ten folks were talked to. in a typical investigation, you know, you don't make an assessment of a witness before you talk to them. you make the assessment afterwards. >> jake, let me come back to you. i want to read something that the president tweeted this morning. the harsh and unfair treatment of judge brett kavanaugh is having an incredible upward impact on voters, that people get it far better than the politicians, most importantly this great life cannot be ruined by mean and despicable democrats and totally uncorroborated allegations. again, that tweet coming from the president this morning. there has been some polling out, and jake, i'm sure you're familiar with this npr poll that i believe came out yesterday that looked at how this issue might be galvanizing not voters on the left, but voters on the rightment right. do you get the sense that republicans on the hill now feel like this is an issue on which they can run and when?
