Just a couple of thoughts to keep us Biden supporters sane on the eve of Election Day. 1/17
First, Biden is polling at over 50% nationally, up more than 8 points on Trump. Clinton’s lead was only half that size. More important, she was only at 44% in the polls, because there were a ton of undecided voters who mostly broke late for Trump. 2/17

[continued from previous thread] 21. Another quote from Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony: “That yearbook reference [to Renate Dolphin] was clumsily intended to show affection, and that she was one of us. But in this circus, the media’s interpreted the term as related to sex.”
22. Ms. Dolphin is a high-school contemporary of Judge Kavanaugh and his friends. Her name appears in his yearbook entry. He claims to be an “alumnius” of hers, and similar remarks from others appear more than a dozen times in his yearbook.

1. Suppose, after watching the Kavanaugh hearings, you cannot decide whom to believe. Suppose you think Dr. Ford was credible, but so was Judge Kavanaugh. Yes, he got angry—but someone falsely accused of sexual assault would be expected to react angrily, right?
2. Or maybe you think that even if Judge Kavanaugh did what Dr. Ford said, she misinterpreted what was happening. Or you think that so much time has passed that his conduct does not disqualify him from being appointed to the Supreme Court.
