Would you want the MSM polling girls at ND or your high school (or other high schools in your metro area growing up) looking for someone to say you acted like a cad by 2020 standards? I sure wouldn't. Just the smearing on national TV from anonymous sources that your wife and kids and parents have to listen to? After the first few people went through that gauntlet, I figured that was the goal of the Left:
Make it so that no one would work for the president.
The price of going through confirmation hearings was too high for any decent person.
I think it is safe to say that the Left largely succeeded in that goal.
