Whoa... You have a low opinion of women.. Do you think they should just shut up and put up with gross behavior from men?
Do you have a wife and daughters?

Personally I don't believe a lame duck president Republican or Democrat should pick a SCOTUS justice in their last year in office. Sorry different circumstances. But your whining was noted.
Fucking idiotic rationalization that would be completely reversed if the circumstances were reversed.
You guys were against "draft dodgers" when Clinton was in office...but dodging the draft is a fine thing with you assholes now that the abomination, Donald Trump, is your man.
When it was Bill Clinton under the microscope...you people talked about family values...now you extol a fucking abomination.
How can you hypocrites stand yourselves?
Apparently their puppet masters require this nonsense of them.
You would think at some point, they would grow enough self-respect to rebel.

The object is not to "prove" anything.
The object is to see if there is evidence that makes one side of this story seem closer to true than the other.
One of these people is lying.
I don't think it is Ford...but that is just a guess.
I want a further investigation to help me assess my guess.
You asswipes do not.
I am pretty sure I can figure out why not.
This says it better than I can.
But the best that would do is to still leave one.
In any case, I think the idiot was you all the time.
I've already used this but you certainly have earned it.
YOU are the idiot, Grump.
No problem. Most of us realized that all along.

Bee Ess. trump didn't drop out because of negative publicity, he rode it out. My opinion is that Cain didn't want to gamble on having his past being open to scrutiny, and the possibility that he couldn't refute allegations made by the women.
Funny how you take allegations against Clinton as gospel but the guys wearing your team's jersey get a pass.

Not whining. Your attempt at clairvoyance is noted.
The Senate abandoned its duty to give Garland a fair hearing and either confirm or reject him. The man was a centrist who had the support of both parties. Your side played partisan politics and won. There's nothing good to say about that.

I find it extremely amusing that you would use Trump as an example of your argument.
But this is his quote on dropping out. ""As of today, with a lot of prayer and soul searching, I am suspending my presidential campaign," he said at an event in Atlanta. "I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distraction, the continued hurt . . . on me, on my family,".
There were other things but the above was the important one.

Oh but it did not it did exactly what the constitution mandates the Senate do. This is what the constitution says!
"He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
Nowhere does it say the Senate must "give a fair hearing and either confirm or reject. It is entirely up to the Senate to decide when they will consider a Supreme Court Nominee. Is it politics hell yes and both sides have done the same from the beginning.

"The continued hurt... on me, on my family." Yes, that happens when your bad actions become public nationwide. He paid off two women and evaded questions about sexual harassment claims.
As in: Cain said he has “had thousands of people working for me” at different businesses over the years and could not comment “until I see some facts or some concrete evidence.” His campaign staff was given the name of one woman who complained last week, and it was repeated to Cain on Sunday. He responded, “I am not going to comment on that.”
Or how about this one:
"Last week, an Atlanta woman, Ginger White, 46, came forward to claim she had a 13-year affair with Mr Cain. Speaking to MSNBC on Thursday, Ms White denied they had been in love, saying: "It was a sexual affair - as hard as that is for me to say."
While rejecting any suggestion of an affair with Ms White, Mr Cain has acknowledged helping pay her monthly bills and expenses, and that his wife did not know about the friendship."
