Stepping forward and changing and the course of where we were headed. judge kavanaugh already would be seated as justice kavanaugh for most of this week. so i do think something important was accomplished by showing that we could listen to each other and we could take a time-out in order to have the fbi question and then deliver to the senate some more facts around the core allegations. i am not satisfied with the scope of who was questioned. i expected that there would be follow-on investigatio...

These charges, i dont believe it is profiling courage for these four senators to say he has had a 40 year track record version 17 days of smears. everybody else that seems to have known him and know him say just the opposite. are they going to give into these tactics? because if they do, i would argue america is forever changed for the worst. >> i hope that three of the four will actually get there. im not so sure about murkowski. i have to tell you, that kavanaugh family, they have taken every ...

He is more confident than ever. the democrats got what they wanted. he called it a complete check and include the other six investigations and said go to the fbi and ask if they were able to do their job. whats important is the comments from flake and collins as you were talking about. they seemed to say that the investigation was thorough and they see no additional corroborating information. those are the two key votes. i think the democrats can see it slipping away from them, quite honestly. t...
