I think accusations against Kavanaugh are serious, and probably impossible to prove or disprove. SCOTUS legitimacy matters, and it'd be better for the country and conservative causes to replace him with someone unclouded by personal integrity questions 7/xhttps://arcdigital.media/everyones-applying-the-wrong-standard-to-kavanaugh-s-nomination-9b5859209039?source=friends_link&sk=4973bf2f07aec042d2ede336c92a5dca …
What plausible evidence could emerge that would convince blue bubble that Kavanaugh did not do what Blasey Ford alleges?

"Convince" is strong: for that, he'd have to have been demonstrably in a different place at that time. But yes, some—many—women lie: let the investigation proceed. At some point, doubt in either BF or K will become not a transcendental conviction, but enough for a SCOTUS seat.
-
In terms not of red vs blue generally, but of this process, do you think the Senate Democrats' demands—BF's demands—are as reasonable/unreasonable as the Republicans' attempts at scheduling?
-
That's separate from any of the points I raised, and there are multiple questions tied up in there. On the specific insistence that Blasey Ford's testimony could only be on Monday (today) and holding it on Thursday was giving in to a nefarious plot, I think that was unreasonable.

You're framing dropping Kavanaugh as a neutral, zero sum outcome "for the good of the country" when it would actually be a demoralizing loss for the right and a grotesque incentive for the left to knock down any nominee with uncorroborated accusations = Hecklers veto on steroids.

A Franken gross Weinstein incentive Cosby for Weiner the Spitzer left?? The accusations—two women, for now, plus the creepy Yale-intern thing—are uncorroborated to the extent that they remain uninvestigated. Shall we keep them that way?
-
The first step in an investigation is that the victim goes on the record and makes a complaint. That this alleged victim wants an investigation before she talks or demands the accused speak before the accuser is a complete inversion of the system and I don't take her seriously.

The FBI investigation would be to inform Senators as to what questions to ask; if she were lying, she'd *fear* such an investigation. She's also sensibly showing distrust of what Kavanaugh's defenders will do with what she has to say. What are the Republicans afraid of??
-
This is Democrat talking point nonsense. The Senate Judiciary Committee is an investigative body. An investigation poses no risk to her. Going on the record poses substantial risk which is why she's doing everything she can to avoid it while keeping the accusation alive.
