#1 I just can’t imagine their rationale. Now the Dems will have a judge that deeply hates them for the next 25 years, even though he was probably more or less neutral 30 days ago. That’s just a stupid self-inflicted wound.

#2 Remember when Stalin executed his best generals just when WWII started.

...Because he wasn't supposed to fight back.

Because he was supposed to give in.

Because the Pubs were supposed to get all wobbly and encourage him to gracefully back off.

Because this was supposed to bring out the women who would finally finish Trump.

They're toddlers. They can't think beyond their immediate demands and urges, and they certainly never consider the possibility that they might fail.

#6 They did it because the pubs had gone wobbly before and the candidates quit.

They have no idea what to do now.

#7 A performance so bad, it made the movie Indianapolis look good.

So bad, the morning news wanted to talk about tacos.

The women I have heard talk about Ford, who actually took time to listen to her statement, are all pretty much took me ten seconds to figure her as (various forms of disingenuous).

#8 My wife took about five minutes of listening to Ford to pronounce her a liar.

#9 After my wife saw the show, I actually got an apology from my wife for calling Ford a liar.

'Oh yeah, no doubt, no doubt.'

#12 @#9: Same/same. But when PDJT speechified Ms. Ford's, er, memory lapses, the missus gave me the ol' stink eye.

Even if he doesn't hate them, he's almost certain to be deeply suspicious of their motives and their honesty in everything they do.

I agree with Mike Kozlowski: "They're toddlers. They can't think beyond their immediate demands and urges, and they certainly never consider the possibility that they might fail."

Stupic, self-inflicted wound, indeed. Serves 'em right.

#14 3rding Mike K and Dave D (glad you're back!). Immediate gratification and needy regardless of consequences (Free College! Medicare For ALL!) or plans for the day, week, months, years after

#15 I agree. They're frantic for immediate gratification. There's also a marked tendency among liberals to avoid looking beyond what I call the "first-order affects" of their preferred policies and actions. Like Harry Reid and the filibustering of judicial appointees...
