[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3750501, member: 18225"] Come on, it only has to ‘take’ once. I read a piece with a credible argument: It’s irrelevant whether the accusations are true, this is snowballing... If it really is a ‘fake-news-smear-campaign’, then the fakers will just keep faking until it becomes untenable for Kavanaugh to remain in contention: his reputation will be in question forever: at some point he’ll draw the line and remove himself from the process. If, on the other hand, the accusations are correct, there will be a fourth/fifth/sixth accuser, or relevant witnesses will come forth, etc. Either way, it’s in Trump and Mumbles’ interest to keep ramming this through, midterm ramifications be damned. But what’s the point, personally, for Kavanaugh, where he decides “I’m out”...his personal situation doesn’t align with Trump or Mumbles. Being on the SC is the brass ring, but not if there’s an implied asterix. This entire situation could be a semester course on game theory. [/QUOTE]
