We will see.  I have started to take the words "trust the plan" to heart.  I just thought it was convenient that every democrat used their time to lavish praise on ford, and clamber for an FBI investigation, and then Flake passes the nomination in lieu of a short background investigation.  Trump seemed to cave too easily, and with out much of a Twitter storm.  It seemed too easy to me.  I just wondered if maybe he had a plan in mind, and what the goal might have been. We will see how this shakes out, but I am sure good things will come from it.  At the very least Kavanaugh is vindicated and his family can sleep well at night.
