Robert Costa reported Republicans are paying close attention to public opinion re: Ford/Kavanaugh

He was on Lawrence O'Donnell's show tonight. He said that they take their cues from McConnell, the White House and Grassley. They know the public may be averse to such a fast move.

So I sent Grassley a note via his web site. I don't live in Iowa but my message was accepted. If anyone else is inclined to write him a note you can do it here:

And Lawrence was considered the Senior Guy when he worked in the Senate. And the smartest Guy in the room. He ran the Tax legislative side of the Senate during his tenure.

No Rethugs call him names or challenge his positions. He was the first to call Trump a liar.

I'd always been a fan of his watching all his appearances. It was a good day when he got his own broadcast.

Send note to Grassley here: Costa says Rs paying close attention to public opinion RE Kavanaugh

So people have heads up it's an action item. Even if it means repeating this post...this is important.
