We haven't talked about carrot either. Can't they pass something that'll make Trump money before the elections?

A couple of under-the-radarish things that are getting hidden by the Manafort news
(1) I'm more disappointed by Zephyr Teachout's failure in the NY primary than I am by Cynthia Nixon's. Everything I've heard about Teachout has been good. I don't know whether the woman who won is any good, but Teachout definitely seemed like a very good fit for the job.
(2) Is this Kavanaugh-sex-assault thing going to have any impact at all, or will it be like Clarence Thomas where everyone slowly becomes totally fine with someone with that record on the Supreme Court? Also, why the hell was Feinstein trying to keep this under wraps?

1) Tish James has been decent as the city’s Public Advocate (a kind of Ombudsperson). I think Teachout would have been better, but James will be fine. Nixon never had a chance, but it is disappointing to see that Cuomo appears to have learned nothing from her challenge. There were a number of encouraging State Senate results, so we have that going for us.
2) I assume that Kavanaugh will be confirmed anyway and have the same question about Feinstein. I don’t really understand the Democratic leadership’s strategy on judicial nominations at the moment. I am beginning to think that the possibility of impeachment proceedings against Kavanaugh once all of the Bush Administration documents are released (in 2019 and 2020) is not as far out as I thought last week, especially if Farrow is able to find another victim who is willing to talk.

Love the defense of "Here's a list of 65 women who went to high school with me who said I never tried to rape them!" They had to have known this was going to come out, I doubt he was able to track down that many of his old classmates just in recent days.

The answer is one that you will be familiar with.
He went to a Catholic school in a posh DC suburb. The 65 signatories appear to have attended all girls Catholic schools in his and similar suburbs around the same time. I would be shocked if they all “knew” him back in the day, though they likely “knew of him” (either then or since).
