The thing is, if he'd just admitted to drinking at the time and said that he didn't remember the incident clearly but certainly expressed great remorse if something did happen, he probably could have slipped out of the noose pretty easily. But he went the Trump route and doubled down on everything with the most over-the-top hyperbole. "Not only was I not drinking at that party, I never drank ever!" "Not only am I not guilty of sexual assault, but I had an inescapable Victorian celibacy vice crushing my genitals from toddlerhood until my marriage night!" And of course those ridiculous claims were swiftly debunked and he had to backpedal and change his story.

End of the day, you've got a guy who just couldn't tell a straightforward truth about innocuous life events that practically no one in modern society would even second-guess or shame him for, like underage drinking at a party and having premarital sex, but we're to believe he'd be a forthcoming bulwark of truthiness on the delicate subject of the rape allegations against him? Even if it really didn't happen, his testimony and his believability are well and truly fucked by the fact that he's already outed himself as a compulsive liar with shit he had no reason to lie about before he even got to addressing the actual crime part.

I wonder how much she’ll make off her book deal.

What I don't really get is what Republicans have invested in this dude. If they reject him, it's just going to be another Trump nominee. It isn't like dems will get to pick the guy. So if a conservative is basically guaranteed why the need to stonewall and protect a guy who is clearly a political liability?

Expediency, I expect.
