No, you are mistaken. He knows himself better than you do. He is telling all of us who he is. Some who don't want him confirmed will choose to believe the accusers because they are just like her, not above doing anything it takes to block Kavanaugh's confirmation.

Does anyone here really believe that these women aren't being coerced and backed by the very people whose lives as they know it will be changed when Kavanaugh is confirmed?

Really? Hopefully there are people smarter than that.

The more accusers that come forth, the less credible the charges become.

Why? There are at least two reasons.

Because Judge Kavanaugh has a sterling reputation. He wouldn't have had one in the first place if he had participated in all these situations. His reputation would have been quite otherwise long before now.

Next, one incident might get lost in the course of time. But three, one of them at least should have come to light before now. One secret may be kept. Two is that much harder. But how can three secrets of this type be kept for 30+ years, especially when the accusers acknowledge they were not the only people who knew about them.

Also, I've never heard of a womanizer, for lack of a better term, who didn't brag about or at least acknowledge his escapades. Especially in the 80's and 90's when conquests of women were displayed like notches on a gun.

Yet there hasn't been a whisper about any of them until 2 - 3 weeks ago.

The old saw is true. Two may keep a secret is one is dead.

And THATS why there needs to be an investigation!

You are wrong about 'all the witnesses'. There are witnesses that attest to Kavanaughs drunken behaviour.
There are also people that have since withdrawn earlier support.

If Kavanaugh is innocent, let there be an investigation to properly clear his name.
If I were Kavanaugh at this point, I'd be saying 'bring it on'. Anyway, got to go. Things to do.

.
Agree with this. And not absent is the fact there NONE of the cases have any sort of corroboration.

If the GOP looked bad before, that's nothing to how they're going to look after this.
Agree, if their concern is about maintaining their majorities in 2018, or getting Trump re-elected in 2020. Seems that they care far more about getting this guy confirmed than either of those. They can have one but not both, they chose Kavanaugh. Why? Because he's Trump golden boy, and they are terrified of defying Trump.

There is NO REASON this has to be a he-said/she-said in that committee meeting
You acknowledge Feinstein intentionally made that impossible, right?

It is all being done to be judged in the public opinion... nothing else. Deception and illusion, of the eleventh hour surprise.
All these accusers have been paid.
