She held onto the accusation letter for months obstructing a more thorough investigation as a political strategy. If you believe Kavanaugh's accuser then she exploited her for political gain. If you don't (I don't) then she's just another layer in a shit sandwich. It's not about political affiliation. I hate nearly as many Republicans as Democrats. I like Trump b/c he tries to actually do what he says he will. Everything else is just gray noise. I don't like his stance on everything either. I do think he's a better president than I've ever had before.
Still looks like she's going win by double digit percentage points over her more liberal opponent.
She's getting her head bashed in by the liberal dems who supported her, so she has to play this card to get back in good graces. It likely won't work though.
