I see ONLY tact is to call FORD a god damn liar and make some bullshit story up that she is doing this as retribution because he wouldn't date her or some nonsense like that.
He can NOT acknowledge that party or any party
He can NOT acknowledge he drank or ever drank in high school.
He can Not acknowledge any improper behavior.
GOP will bend over backwards to agree with Kavanaugh
Democrats will hit kavanaugh with other allegations as they are now in the public domain and I would say at least democratic senator will read directly from Swetnick's "deposition" describing the encounter...grassley will go bonkers, Kavanugh will be fuming and may blow a gasket
the shit will get real as kavanaugh has to twist himself into being the victim WHILE AVOIDING DEMANDING AN INVESTIGATION

(52,243 posts)It's not a denial, it's not inconsistent with her account of events, and it means a traumatic life-changing moment for her was a meaningless, forgettable nothing for him.

(5,810 posts)As per tRumps playbook, deny, deny, deny. Say Verbatim what you said before. Robotically answer the questions. Never admit even a hint of guilt. It will stand in sharp contrast to Dr. Ford who is totally credible and a very sympathetic character in this whole drama. Something probably shifted today in the perception of who is telling the truth in this matter. Kavanaugh is having karma return to bite his ass. He got away with his bad behavior for a very long time. That came to halt this morning.

He has nothing more than his word.
It falls, in my 57 year old perspective, on the larger number of people today who are willing to believe victims. This victim has more than her public accusations to rely on, in support of her veracity.
beachbum bob
(10,437 posts)not a game changer for kavanaugh or GOP
you have to say she lied....and they can't win with that either
bigtree
(85,996 posts)...the best he can do is say she's mistaken.
I think most people will judge that she's not.

Grassley needs to retire so do a few others. And that smug Graham and Hatch.
