In Trump's presser, he acted as if he had already heard "something" disqualifying on Kavanaugh

[kentuck]

When he began talking about the judge drinking too much "one night" at a party... He was amazed that he was so willing to talk about "beer".

It is my understanding that the FBI has been reporting back to the Justice Dept every day. So Trump knows what the FBI is finding, if anything?

From Trump's words and weak defense of Kavanaugh, it appeared he may have already heard some unflattering news?

If so, Kavanaugh will not be permitted to go thru with the vote. He will be asked to withdraw. That would permit the Republicans to use his "withdrawal" as a campaign issue to get out the Republican votes.

1. I noticed too but

I think Trump will try to push through anyway.

2. Would such things register with tRump as being disqualifying ?

3. There were rumors that Ivanka was pressing him also....

...about withdrawing his name? I read something about this a few days ago??

If he does not withdraw, I think the Democrats may go after perjury. He has lied a few times.

5. Believe it or not

It was all the talk about drinking and loving beer. I think everyone knows donnie's brother was a raging alcoholic and that's why he himself doesn't drink and finds it a character flaw in others. It certainly isn't his abuse of women.

4. Trump doesn't care what Kavanaugh did unless he did it to Princess Ivanka.

6. Between the crying and the drinking, trump will have real disdain for him, n/t

7. given the orange assholes abstention from alcohol, due to his brothers alcoholism....

i'm really surprised he still supports the drunk rapist.

8. Maybe he doesn't but has to pretend he does?

His base is entirely behind Kavanaugh.

9. He Also Knows That Party Boy Brett Is His Only "Get Out Of Jail Free" Card

And for a sociopath, his own self interests take precedence over literally everything else.

10. Not sure his withdrawal will energize Republicans.

My RW coworker, who wants Roe overturned, told me that if Kav is not confirmed, he's done voting for Republicans or giving them money. I actually feel like Republicans are electorally damned if they do, damned if they don't on this issue, and that's a good feeling.

11. Trump knows what needs to be covered up...

He's been practicing his whole life.
