The timing of the claim and the political stakes of the claim all point toward this being about politics and not about if he did it or not. Credible claim my ass. Democrats know the claim is bogus with no evidence to support it but they don't care.
*shrug* The claim is credible enough to be heard. That there is no clear physical evidence is usually the case with attempted sexual assault even a day after the attempt so in this respect these allegations are indistinguishable from the vast majority of similar cases.

This is literally one person's word who chose to speak up at the eve of confirmation hearing to the SCOTUS.
She mentioned it to therapists in 2012 and in 2013. She went to legislators with this information in July, when it became clear this person might attain a position she felt he was not worthy of because of what she says he did to her. She did not want to go public but was forced to nevertheless. If a man victimizes only one person, with no witnesses against him, only one person can be expected to speak against him. Of course, it's possible that this man victimized others as well, and it might even be possible some of them were conscious and remember what he did. Whether or not they'll choose to make themselves known is uncertain esp. given how the right-wing propaganda army have attempted to smear Ford, using false information about her parents and about her record as an educator.
