They're fighting hard to keep Kavanaugh alive because they know, instinctively, that their base is going to be somewhere on the range of very dispirited to furious with their party leadership if Kavanaugh has to withdraw because he's a sexual predator. They're supposed to stand up and fight for guys like Kavanaugh, not in spite what he's been accused of but because of it.
