My so-called republican friend and I just finish our weekly phone call!

Yes, the topic was today hearing. I am shocked that he said that he didn't believe that it was beneficial to the republicans to vote yes on Kavanaugh! He fells that way this was handled by the GOP was disrespectful and didn't solve any problems. I about wreck my truck and I wasn't driving! He did say that he was not sure if Dr. Ford was telling the truth, but he knew that Kavanaugh wasn't prepared and rather edgy! But to end the topic, he says he stills stands by Trump and Trump will find a better person if it is not Kavanaugh! I was stunned and could not find the words to reply to his last comment. This is the 2nd time he has actually taken a different view, because most of the time he ridicules everything about the democrats, Hillary and Obama!

Sorry, but he will smile broadly if Kavanaugh gets on the court, and you will NEVER hear him say a bad word about him again for the next 40 years.

He will fall right back into line. The fact he still supports Drumpf shows that. You're falling for his BS.

A victim of manipulation and probably will never possess the self knowledge to see it. There is nothing you can do but be there for him when he starts to understand a small fraction of it.
