Dude's done. No way he gets confirmed if he comes out in attack mode like that, much as the Trump base will predictable lick it off the floor.

Unhinged? If he was wrongfully accused, then I'd be far more angry than he's been. That would also make her a liar, so I don't understand your point. He can't claim innocence without calling her a liar.

Showmanship.

I'm curious if you feel the same way about Ford's emotions?

When you're up for a position like this in the national spotlight, he should have known his name was going to be dragged through the mud. It's part of the process. I don't feel sorry for anyone who accepts such a position. You want to run for office or be appointed to the highest court in the land, you should expect to face major hardships. This country is so divided, you should expect all kinds of attacks from the other side of the aisle.

Being criticized for your opinions and / or decisions is rightfully a part of the job. Being falsely accused of raping someone is not. Not only is being falsely accused of a crime not a part of the job, for you to expect as much is disturbing.

She has to for appearances. You can't attack the accuser without being shamed. She also probably knows he can answer them sternly, and if he does that, then his responses look strong despite the stern approach she took with him.
