As MS (a conservative) said upthread, Trump has a long list of qualified and less controversial conservative judges who would stand a much better chance of confirmation than Kavanaugh. McConnell advised Trump of such before the nominee was selected.
It seems to me that your demeaning of Dr. Ford (before you ever heard from her), your opposition to a standard supplemental FBI check (which I think can only help Kavanaugh if he's being honest), and your claims of a conspiracy are based on your full loyalty to President Trump in all matters. That's why you view this as all about Trump when it's not.
In reality, every President who's had the opportunity to nominate Supreme Court Justices has faced the same process.
The bar for the Supreme Court is very high; the nominees are subject to a very high degree of scrutiny. And that's a very good thing for the country.
There is a long list of Supreme Court Justice nominations which were rejected or withdrawn due to concerns about the nominees' personal conduct, political/professional bias, or other controversy.
