temperament, how do you judge a judge s temperament? well, i worked on the confirmation process of dozens and dozens of judges, i know lots of judges personally, zoom are moody and some are trickily and some get angry in traffic, that s all okay, that has nothing to do with judicial temperament. judge kavanaugh has a tremendous reputation for an exceedingly professional judicial temperament in this town. in that hearing room last week he wasn t functioning as a judge, he was functioning effectively as a defendant in a show trial, i think it was entirely just and appropriate for him to get angry and push back a little bit, in fact, at the end of the day him being real and not being scripted and working off talking points, i think that turned his confirmation around. bill: greg, thank you, greg from washington.
enough as it was seen in harvard harris poll, lays ground work for much of 60% of the american people to believe that kavanaugh should be confirmed because the second additional investigation found no corroborating evidence for the charges made against him. bill: conversely do you think joe manchin survives in november yes vote in a state that trump won 42 points two years ago? yeah, i do i do think it gives him high-profile action to think so. i was the only democrat to do so because i thought it was the right thing to do and it s a powerful argument to be made coming down the stretch. on the other hand, claire mccaskill and john tester in montana and joe donnelly in indiana are in graver difficulty because of this. dana: all
vulnerable, they need attention and care. and we put them, we put forward on top of a stake in the middle of a cage with lions on one side and tigers in the other, hopefully they ll be fair. we hope they ll be fair to the baby. they were never going to be fair to the baby. the baby was in the way of what they wanted. and this was the worst place to deal with something so sensitive. that was my regret. i knew we would wind up here. fugase. i have to go, my italian brother. i ll see you tonight after the show at the bada-bing. see you, chris. have a good one. this is cnn tonight. i m don lemon. and, man, you could cut the tension with a knife on capitol hill. the clock ticking to a preliminary vote on judge brett kavanaugh set for tomorrow morning at 10:30. just really over 12 hours from now. the final vote on his nomination is scheduled for saturday, though all of this could change if gop leaders don t think they have the votes, okay. so all eyes are on three
and their rage and their anger they take it out now on the country or on all men or men in the powerful majority which are white christian men and so forth. hmm. he said it. they all said it. i m just playing their sound bites. so don t get mad at me and say oh, don lemon, everything s about race. they said it. i just put their sound bites on tv. if you re going to vote to confirm judge kavanaugh, you ve got to ignore what christine blasey ford said. i ve said it before. you can t believe both of them. so rather than searching for the truth, the president and his party, they re appealing to their base. people who feel victimized, who fear the world is passing them by, feel, fear. people who see all of this as a zero sum game. if women or people of color or
speak up if you re on this side of the equation. but guess what? we re speaking up like nobody has ever spoken up before. they want to get the power that they so desperately crave, that was taken away from them. all of the democrats know and all they really know how to do is obstruct, resist, demolish, destroy, and delay. they ve been trying to destroy judge kavanaugh since the very first second he was announced. the president s strategy, blame. blame democrats for a so-called attack on conservatives. it s working. you heard the boos. the crowd was eating it up. and it s no accident that judge kavanaugh used the same talking point in his testimony last
