Politics. They are giving the Dems all the rope they want, like Hirono. Dems are trying to pull a Kavenaugh but can't find anything to exploit. Nasty lines of questioning. Optics The Republicans are giving the Dems opportunity to interview her, but Dems squander the time on unproductive fantasy accusations and orange man bad. The Dems will boycott the vote anyway. Throw a tantrum. Republicans, in the normies eyes, have maintained the high road by giving the Dems the opportunity even though the Republicans had the votes before the circus started, Dems took the low road, are looking very small.
