anyone have a credible answer for why the GOP didnt get kav to take a polygraph?

me, an intellectual, realizes polygraphs are trash, but if the democrats want to wave one around why not have brett with one in hand that says he didnt lie about not assaulting her.


Seems like a significant risk. They're unscientific, what if his emotional state (e.g. upset) led to less than positive result?

Because that would legitimatize polygraphs and turn it into an equal claim vs equal claim sort of thing. Same thing with an investigation. The GOP's strategy was to dismiss the allegations rather than potentially provide them with any sort of response or legitimacy.

Disagree. Momentum is powerful when dealing with crowds.

Trump has nothing to gain by appealing to radical feminists. They'll respond to concessions with more demands, it has always been a mistake to appease them.


All he has to do is pressure BK to withdraw. Then he says "Hey, BK withdrew. Can't do anything about that! So I am nominating a very intelligent, capable woman for this job"

His base will cheer. They won't leave.

I cut logs in 82, how could I possibly be a rapist!?


He's been ran through the ringer with everyone's words, accusations, and assumptions in a very obvious political campaign to destroy him

He's made it very clear that he says it never happened and nothing like it happened

He deserves this moment if he didn't do it

So is Kavanaugh killing the #MeToo movement singlehandedly right now?

i agree. but we have unscientific proof next to a calendar written in crayon. 2 countering polygraphs would take each other off the board. K Harris even said, "you took a polygraph, BKav did not".

I mean a certain amount of emotion is good but he's pausing every other sentence to stop himself from crying. Clearly this smearjob has gotten to him.
