What Happened In The Brett Kavanaugh Hearing

Exactly, Amelia. (That’s what I was trying to say, but you said it better.)

I agree with everyone else that Ford’s poise and confidence will make the biggest impression. She didn’t want to go first, but I think it could pay off for her in a big way.

Although … the political media likes to latch on to early narratives and can be slow to update them as more information unfolds. So maybe, if everyone decides now that this hearing is going poorly for Kavanaugh, that will be the prevailing sentiment on tonight’s cable news shows and tomorrow’s newspapers no matter how Kavanaugh does this afternoon. So maybe it was good for Democrats that Ford went first.
