(25,183 posts)think that Melania is anything other than arm candy. You don't see them bending over backwards to listen to anything she says, do you? At least Nancy Reagan had some support, even from Democratic officials, when she did her whole "Just Say No to Drugs" spiel.
At this point, Trump's base is trained by the whole "Fake News" command. They want to find a reason to believe the Trumpsters and discount or discredit any accusers of the Trump regime. It's like the German people who ignored the pleas of the civilized world, as long as the Third Reich was lifting Germany out of Weimar Republic hyperinflation and economic stagnation, whether it was on the backs of slave labor didn't mean squat to them. They didn't feel sorry for anything until after they lost.
It's all going to come down to Dr. Ford's demeanor tomorrow. If she can be like Anita Hill, showing strength, resolve, and a measured outrage, she'll win over Collins and Murkowski, and this thing is over with. If she comes across as weak or paranoid, even under withering questions over her recollections and her phobias, then it won't matter what the other two have to say.
