EXCERPT:

JOLLY: “She does. I agree with Anita Hill. In the American people's hearts and minds, they will never agree fully on whether judge Kavanaugh or Dr. Ford are the truth tellers that they want to believe. We will remain divided on this. I choose to believe Dr. Ford, I know others choose to believe Judge Kavanaugh. But if you speak to the raw politics of this, I do believe that Dr. Ford eventually will sit down with either Senate staff in private or perhaps a public testimony and at that moment it is back to Republicans for their next move. And Republicans right now find themselves in a situation where they really can’t win, but they can’t afford to lose. And what I mean by that is they are in a situation of either accepting her testimony and ignoring it, or accepting her testimony and voting down Kavanaugh or having him withdraw. None of those are a good place for Republicans to be. But they also can’t afford to lose because if this gets postponed or Kavanaugh withdraws, they cannot get a new nominee confirmed before the election and suppose Democrats take the Senate in November. There is no way then to suggest that Republicans could move forward with a new nominee if the Senate flips in November.”
