This isn't a new strategy for democrats and I disagree they've "outfoxed" us. One difference between republicans and democrats is this: for dems, the end justifies the means, where republicans believe in the process. The ideals of our justice system mean something to republicans...only the outcome means anything to democrats.

And democrats have been doing this for as long as I can remember. Hell...they used basically the same playbook to turn America against the Viet Nam war. Lie and organize...it was harder back then than it is now but they managed. They did it to Bork and to Clarence Thomas. They tried it with Gorsuch.

For democrats, lying is the strategy. It's just a matter of deciding what lie they need to tell and who they can use to best guarantee their desired outcome. They've gone all in with Ford. I think they overplayed their hand.

After watching Kavanaugh's opening statement, I'd say his odds of being confirmed have increased dramatically over even just earlier today.
