because democrats now do have a reason to not vote for this nominee. so i wonder how much are you going to worry about the red state democrats at this point, more so than their own conference. it if republicans go forward with this, they will be making the political risk that they can go forward without a full accounting, without calling in everybody they could call in. number one, if they can t reach an agreement with professor ford, obviously she s the most important player here. and they said they would ask kavanagh questions, he would deny it and then they would call for a vote in the committee. but the question is would it leave a cloud over the judge s head if you confirm him. but that process, doing it that way, is in professor ford s view unfair to her. she will talk with the committee. she s not premarpared to talk w them at a hearing on monday. this just came out 48 hours ago. asking her to come forward in
to abbey phillips point earlier, it is to the president s credit, we talk about his nonfactual comments about jeff sessions, his obsession about the mueller plo probe and other things that are controversial or more, this is what the president should be doing after a tragedy like hurricane florence and he s dedicatin dedicating, 6, 7 hours on the ground is there? uh-huh. so we ll watch the president. we ll continue to keep an eye on the president in new bern. we re sure those residents are comforted to see those officials on the ground. back to the big story here in washington, judge kavanagh, will the impasse over getting testimony from his accuser be brokered? and how is it already playing out in this already contentious midterm election year.
mockery of the process, that a woman says she had a traumatic experience and 35 years later she s coming out with it. i think most people have their eyes on suburban women, because they re the ones who are going to determine this election, as many of them went to vote for president trump, and if there s a reception that republicans are not treating this woman fairly, that s where you re going to see the black lash and that s where they may run into problems, but democrats, on the other hand, lets say kavanagh does withdraw, we see no indication he s going to do so, but there s that. republican voters tend traditionally to come out because of the supreme court. chris van holland was out there, and i asked him were his voters engaged in the supreme court? he said it s starting, he said
trump room to sort of step in it like he has a number of these times in these races where similar issues have come up. but so far, trump is staying relatively on message with kavanagh, his advisors think that s a good sign. they have shown him polling, that his numbers have gone down after the mccain fight. he s not really in a position to pick this fight. they have reminded him of how he got through this in his own campaign and trying to get him back on the economy, which republicans seem to agree is a winning issue. so, you know, as long as trump is where he is today, where he is defending kavanagh without attacking dr. ford, trump s advisors think that s a good place to be. we ll watch as this plays out again, there s been a lot of moving parts over the last 24 hours, we ll see if any accusations still exist.
another person in the room, when what she describes as a horrible assault took place. you want to verify, who was at the house, talk to all the other people. and she s going to have to be interviewed and provide these names, the fbi is not going to be able to pull them out of thin air. and if kavanagh says he wasn t at this party or didn t do it, then really she s going have to say, here s what took place, the date, the time, the location and who can verify her story. and we have seen this public reporting of another person who since has said, i wasn t even there. so right off the bat you have a discrepancy concerning her credibility. so her correct in this is a key factor. and it s going to have to be. he is a sitting federal appeals court judge. so if this information comes into the fbi, senator feinstein has now forwarded the letter, if he s not up for anything else,
