So, what kind of creep would allow himself to be nominated for SCOTUS knowing that there were really nasty skeletons in the closet that would humiliate his wife and daughters.

And he was almost right too. Too many women were rightly afraid to say anything. If someone hadn't leaked Dr. Ford's letter, he'd have been confirmed by now.

One thing the #MeToo Movement ought to have taught him is that woman are through being afraid.

of criminal indictment and even prison simply because his narcissism and greed had to be fed by running for president.

Kavanaugh is similar--his greed demanded more staus, power, and wealth, and his attempt to satisfy that impulse, he could end up losing everything.

No pity for spouses of pricks like this guy.

I'd feel for the daughters though, *IF* they are humiliated. They might be defiant/in denial instead, it is hard to predict.

who had no idea what kind of a man she married. There are men who can deceive a woman and maintain the charade for many years.

He expects his wife, as a high school and college student, never had any fun, never attended any parties, and that the boys around her completely respected her and never laid a hand on her. But he and his friends treated women as disposable.

that has been running non-stop, how she feels about him NOW. (Of course she already had that Stepford Wife appearance, so perhaps she's beyond hope)

Not the wife though. She knows what kind of guy he really is but she probably doesn't care. The kids are innocent.

Look at how the deplorables don't believe it. They think it's a smear campaign and everyone coming forward is paid by George Soros.

I'm not about to feel bad for her yet. She could truly believe he is innocent and this is a set up with as much hate towards the accusers as the deplorables have been spewing.

And ran in those same upper class circles. I'm sure if she was asked she would support him even if she knew the incidents to be true.

Abilene Cooper High School. Same graduating class. Our valedictorian that year was also the principal’s son.

I don’t feel sorry for her at all.
