Chris here -- Which of these scenarios do you think WILL happen. And, why?

[MisterGuitarItalia]

whatever happens, America is no longer an example of justice...

[ClaudyArfaras]

If Kavanaugh is appointed, it will not be the end of this story...

[facebookfacebook]

Whether Kav gets confirmed or not, it won't change the fact that we are already living in a banana Republic 🤘

[scottwardle]

Option #5 - Chris Cillizza gives up journalism and lands the lead role in the PeeWee Playhouse relaunch.

I like these segments. Please keep them coming. :)

[BenNixon]

And the likely weather conditions for today are either sunshine or rain.

[jorgeruiz]

My fav is that he gets confirmed and cnn disappears like at the end of infinity war

[rhimeralemuse]

Throw out the script of the Federalists Society, choose another nominee from a pool of Supreme Court Interns poll.

[rullmourn]

So now is the nations judiciary system going to find everyone guilty or not guilty because of how people FEEL about them, and say they do or do not believe them? Evidence and proof no longer needed? The whole thing is truly pathetic.

[rullmourn]

Word to all special interest groups and movements, The Truth has no Agenda.

[Orca]

Brett Kavanaugh is Roy Moore 2.0; all that's missing is the cowboy outfit and showing up to the hearings on horseback. God willing his story will end in exactly the same way.

[canufimy]

The Liberal "Slime Ball Party" has made America their enemy.

[Nevin]

Eat it Cillizza. The comedic approach he takes is awesome.

[TheDreadfulCurtain]

Oh please, Mark Judge tell us the truth about what really went on ...

[stevequincey]

Scenario number 5: we all wake up from this nightmare... its 2016 again, one day from election day. Love the show!

[AnthonyHafciojoni]

Make me believe this FBI investigation would be the same for anybody else, regardless of gender race religion political view and class.

[rayenalowenssr]

The fact a sc nominee doesn't want to have an FBI investigation speaks volumes

[wesbrooks]

This you tuber style video from a major news outlet to explain things is a really good idea. Props

[snoopgabby]

Thanks so much for describing the water in which we are all drowning.
