Buried in Jon Chait's piece about Trump's casual misogyny is Trump freestyling about Kavanaugh's drinking problem. Trump's brother was an alcoholic and Trump himself never touches a drop, allegedly because of his brother's experience and early death. Trump doesn't trust people who drink or have facial hair (Exhibit 2,567,432 why I will never have a job in the Trump Administration). He wouldn't hire John Bolton at first because of the mustache. Seriously.
If Trump convinces himself that Kavanaugh is still a drunk, I could see him - fickle boy that he is - abandoning Kavanaugh well before the Federalist Society apparatchiks do.
