Democrats just killed the blue wave

Democrats were cheered by the renewed FBI investigation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh and counted it as a win. Most Republicans were dismayed that the full Senate's vote on Judge Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court was delayed and saw this as a political misstep.
They should change places.
First, while the politically attuned understand this is just a delay game by the left, who are on record as willing to do anything to derail this nominee and force the appointment to be made after the November election, swing voters and many women do not.
For them, there is no reason to not look further. The “why rush? It’s for a lifetime†argument resonates as do their own experiences. This past week countless of men have learned from many women just how prevalent the alleged behavior and how much worse it is. This includes those in my own family who hadn’t known I was a victim of sexual assault in high school and just after college when I was the victim of rape.
Independents, Millennials and many women want to know: Why hasn’t Mark Judge answered more questions? What do other classmates say? Is the GOP going to be fair to what they saw as sincere testimony by Dr. Ford?

I have read numerous stories by women concerning the Kavanaugh confirmation who cite being sexually assaulted in their lives. No doubt many of them have.
The question is: what does this have to do with Brett Kavanaugh?
By citing a crime committed against them as some sort of proof Kavanaugh is guilty, these people are being incoherent.
Are there that many people in the country who really believe that simply claiming being assaulted by someone qualifies as proof?
I am indeed sorry for any women (or men) who have been sexually assaulted and justice (no pun intended) not done.
But to claim that because you were a victim of a sexual assault and some person is guilty of assaulting you without you proving they did it dispenses with the rule of law and makes you part of the mob.
No doubt, if Kavanaugh tried to walk through the mob outside the the SC building, he probably would have been physically harmed by the mob.
We are against mob rule in this country. Apparently, liberals are quite comfortable with it.
