      Cornyn: I can't think of a more scandalous moment since the McCarthy hearings. Again, this witness is the guy who asked a President whether he ejaculated into Monica's mouth.

      Cornyn: This is not a job interview. You've been accused of a crime. To vote against your nomination, we would have to decide you're a serial liar. Um--he was a serial liar before the first allegation.

      NOTE: The break was clearly used to fire Mitchell. Republicans realized their witness could not withstand questions from a prosecutor, like Ford could.

          Yup. Something going on. Kav needs another lifeline call. So: 1) GOP decided he couldn't withstand questions by a prosecutor. 2) He has needed two lifelines already.

          The smug "Did you?" to Klobuchar was not a good look. That was a clear glimpse of the teenage twit who he obviously was and still is.

          not just teenage obnixousness; it's textbook messy alcoholic behavior, confronting them about their drinking triggers defensiveness and flip-the-tables

          Right? A staffer telling grassley to take a break and then hatch saying not to take a break yet. I'm guessing things aren't looking good for kav?

          McConnell, Cornyn, Grassley & Graham ask Republicans to choose party over conscience when it comes to denying Trump's unfitness for office, but it's too much to ask when it comes to the base's needing this win. Nominating Trump was a mistake the GOP will learn from the hard way.
