I was so furious and frustrated that she wasn't properly heeded, but at least she made a lasting impression that, like Anita Hill, helps us in the long run.
(By the way, I don't know what truly happened with the supposed offer to meet privately with the committee, even in California, but I've wondered if she was smart enough to know that her only safety lay in public hearings. If she'd met with them privately, they would have ensured that she was never widely heard.)

Ford was a fake actress the whole time. A lot of people just didn't buy whatever account she had, and we all know that this was nothing more than silly delay tactics on the part of the Dems. Meanwhile, Kavanaugh is finally confirmed and it's time to take care of America's business.
It also makes you wonder, if the majority of Americans disapprove of Kavanaugh, where is all this so-called renewed right wing enthusiasm coming into the mid-terms that the right touting coming from? Wishful thinking?

The "majority of Americans" don't vote.
65 million Republican votes can run the country and get things done. And we like Kavanaugh.

Sure, "a lot" didn't believe her.
But more believed her than not. So, I dunno, maybe 200,000,000 people?

Maybe it's just the righties are so noisy? It often seems that way in this forum.
But I also think it's possible to overall fall for Trump's con, yet still - especially if you're a woman - understand and relate to CBF's evidence. I also think it's possible to be sucked in my Trump's financial fantasies, yet object to something specifically objectionable, like when seeing the proof that Kavanaugh had lied.
More likely that she damaged the credibility of future victims. Including real ones. That's the saddest part.
Nope, not at all. Women and their experience of sexual assault matter.
Here’s Why White Women Are Abandoning the GOP
On Thursday, during a break in Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony, a woman called out to Senator Lindsey Graham that she had been raped in the past. “I’m so sorry,” Graham responded as he ducked into an elevator. “You needed to tell the cops.”
Such casual indifference to women’s mistreatment is visible not only in the Republicans’ endorsement of Kavanaugh, but also in the party’s general dismissal of the #MeToo movement and the president’s obvious sympathy for accused men over accusing women.
Since Ford has come forward with her allegations against Kavanaugh, Republicans in Washington have questioned her story because she didn’t speak out sooner. But if the Republican message to women is that they need to speak up, they might not like what they have to say this November.
