September 19, 2018 at 7:19 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Playbook: All of a sudden, out of seemingly nowhere, it seems like Republicans are gently steering Brett Kavanaughs Supreme Court nomination back on track.
Republicans and Democrats are at a stalemate. Senate Republicans offered Christine Blasey Ford the chance to testify publicly or privately, but her lawyer said that first the FBI should investigate the three-decade-old sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.
Republicans will insist they were reasonable, and Kavanaughs fate will be in the hands of Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Lisa Murkowski. The more time that goes by without her testifying, the more likely it is that Kavanaugh will be confirmed.

Why post Republican talking points? I know they're "in an article". That's no excuse, really.

To establish the context before the illegitimate KGOP republicans punch the ticket for casino hustling, draft-dodging Dirty Donny's hand-picked KGOP republican gambling-junkie #PukerPredatorPerjurer party boy.

I'm hoping she shows up Monday to testify.

That is all that we ask.
But unfortunately, there is no one on the horizon.
