Again, the press at large are not buying this.

Oh, I can't stand SNL these days and I am fairly certain almost none of them support Kavanaugh - even conservadem Lorne Michaels.

Just in case you thought Kavanaugh couldn't make his case worse: He is livid and very aggressive. He just said "the whole country will reap the whirlwind"! "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!" OH MY GOD.

"The media" is not pushing that line, though. You certainly have some folks trying to #BothSides it like Chuck, but the fact is it has been a net disaster for the GOP and very little of the mainstream media is trying to spin it as anything else. Chucks aside, that is the overwhelming narrative that is here today.

Carl, I'm sorry but that is just not true, and with the exception of a few boorish comments from guys like Chuck Todd it is not remotely what is playing out on TV in the mainstream media or in the public discourse today. We can and should be skeptical and wary of what will occur and pragmatic to a fault, but I think to not acknowledge how this is playing out is just kneecapping ourselves and frankly, doing a disservice to Professor Ford.

Ol' Chuck is getting roasted on Twitter.

They may, they may not. I've thought Kavanaugh was doomed since last week and I still think so. I'm not the only one.

And her lawyers shut it down fast. The GOP is so blinkered that they can't conceive of this as anything but a game, so they rely on conspiracy theory questioning to play to the base. But it is playing horribly on TV. This is a complete wreck for them.

....He's really not, though. At all. Not with the public and by the looks of things not with the Congress. It's 50-50 at best right now.

They'll blame Rachel Mitchell for 'not being tough enough.' I was fairly sure Kavanaugh was going down before today - I still mostly am - but this is having a public impact today that is bigger than I expected. It's going to be huge in November.

Megyn Kelly is continuing to burnish her future by warning that Democratic nominees will get the same treatment when the wheel turns around.

Lindsey is realizing he surrendered all pretense of dignity and integrity to bootlick Trump for SCOTUS, and now that it's falling apart he is blaming Ford and the Democrats.

This is going so badly that they're reduced to hoping to discredit her based on the fact that she has a fear of flying but flew to the hearing.
