Arnold Schwarzenegger was also accused of molesting women when he ran for governor. Accusation of sexual abuse seems to be the weapon choice in high profile positions.
Thomas and Scwartzenager were accused of sexual harassment, not assault. Schwartzenegger had multipe women accuse him going back decades and he admitted to at least some of it. Thomas is a little before my time and I haven't looked into it. Many powerful men have harassed women, it's unfair to say it's only a tactic every time.

She hopes that same thing - I hope that.
Point is, she really worked at it -- she didn't take order from the Media and she ignored the intimidation.

We can't ask more than that. She laid it out Chapter and Verse - exactly why she was casting her vote.

Hard to believe .. But ..... her vote is about Hawaii and the indigenous Hawaiians.
She admits that. You can't figure these people out.

I would bet money that the Ms Alaska is the Chairman of a basement closet in the Senate Building
next year ..... and Congratulations to her for that.

I'm not a D but it's the poison I usually pick because of some main issues that matter the most to me.

Edit: Why can't I find this anywhere but Fox? I defeintely don't support this attitude, but I want to see more proof that this is a pervasive sentiment before condemning anyone. If this is just another right wing disinformation tactic, it's really going to anger me. I'm so sick of this partisan bs.

Can't say Democrats wouldve passed up such an offer .
But they didn't " win".
This is all just psychobabble.

No, it wasn't a simple question.

It was loaded with the angst and tears of liberals who wanted to get THEIR way, and would do anything in order to...

Try again.

Yes. I agree. Not fair to say its just a tactic. Its just an.obviously glaring character flaw unless your Hatch, Grassley, Trump , Graham, and Jeff Flake currently.
