      If Kavanaugh is going to survive, I think he is doing the right thing by putting out this letter and going on Fox tonight. People are more likely to rally to your defense if they see you’re fighting, instead of being passive. He hasn’t controlled the narrative for a week, now.

      To a degree, this strikes me as a norm-breaking move (traditionally, the nominee would probably remain silent and have surrogates make the case for him). But I think we live in norm-breaking times.

          I’m assuming the Trump team is involved in coordinating this. But if not, Kavanaugh is giving Trump what Trump wants to see—a fighter. Makes it much less likely Trump will abandon him (even if it turns out doing so would have been smart).

          Campaigning for an sc seat is extremely abnormal...

          That doesn't mean that any and all norms should be susceptible to being broken. There is something to be said for respecting existing norms because we live these norm-breaking times.

          You "think" we live in norm-breaking times? We live under mob rule. God help anyone who is accused of anything they didn't do if the allegation meets the left's needs. #CharacterAssassination

          He will also need to do interviews with CNN and MSNBC to be effective otherwise he will be preaching to the choir and it will backfire on him.

          Matt, so BK is now a politician, rolling out wife and going on offense. He is applying for 1/9 positions that are NOT political. There is only one direction: through private, candid discussions w/ Senators. Not "court of public opinion" because he will be known only as 51 votes!

          Yup. I agree this is a precedent-breaker, but you may well be right that he can't keep taking the punches without making some bloody noses himself. And that letter he sent to the committee today says he's in it until the knock-out.
