So what Kavanaugh comes across to me is a normal, nice guy who isn't as cold-blooded as most in Washington. His emotional state is completely genuine. If this performance doesn't save his pick, it will save his reputation.
If this performance doesn't save his nomination- barring any late fuck-ups from here to the end- than its like the groundhog seeing its own shadow, we're in for another 6 years of MeToo It would say that even the most convincing testimony against the flimsiest, the mountains of character witnesses and denials from supposed witnesses against uncorroborated testimony from opportunists and hoaxers- would not be enough to save a man. And if that's the result of all this, it will empower the worst elements
Until Kavanaugh starting talking, I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I think we might be on the tipping point for the MeToo movement as a whole, the crux
