When they asked if she knew that staffers were willing to go to CA she said, " I would have loved to host you" in the most sincere voice.

Clearly Dr. Ford should be in the court and Kavanaugh should be in therapy.

she wasn't asked a bunch of detailed sex questions by leering white guys in their 60s.

OTOH, she was asked about her time before and after the "event" (almost gang rape).

And her memory of the event was questioned. Fortunately, she happens to be an expert at both trauma events and memory and how the mind works... so those questions sort of back fired on the hired gun prosecutor the repukes brought with them.
