Podhoretz again, on Morning Joe

He really is a despicable asshole, saying the races are tightening because of Kavanaugh and that there isn't a shred of corroboration of Dr Ford.

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, and if they are , how do we know to attribute it to Kavamess. I cited a poll that shows our advantage widening:

But I had the intellectual honesty to say we need more evidence to see if it's a trend.


P.S. What did David Corn write ?

Thank you in advance.
