Heavens no! He decided to mock the accuser.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Washington Post:<\/p>\n<p><em>In his most direct attack on Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault while both were teenagers in Maryland, Trump sought Tuesday night to highlight holes in the account Ford gave in sworn testimony to the Judiciary Committee last week.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c \u2018I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know.\u2019 \u2018Upstairs? Downstairs? Where was it?\u2019 \u2018I don\u2019t know. But I had one beer.

Umm. No. He isn&#8217;t. He&#8217;s disgusting. Then again, that&#8217;s must my view.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the great divide, we have Americans who just think Trump is the best thing to happen to politics since pockets on shirts. His campaign rally crowd Tuesday night laughed right along with the jokes and the mocking behavior he exhibited toward Christine Ford.<\/p>\n<p>I have to agree with the view of conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, who said that as much as Trump&#8217;s idiotic behavior motivates <em>Democrats<\/em> to vote against Republicans in the midterm election, it also motivates <em>Republicans<\/em> to stand by their candidates.<\/p>\n<p>The question now rests on which side is more motivated and which side will produce the most voters on Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>Is it entirely possible that the moronic rhetoric we hear from Donald Trump is a winning formula for the political party he leads? Before you dismiss it out of hand, just remember: This clown got elected president of the United States.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When he relies on his own instincts, rather than reading text off a Teleprompter, Donald J.
