So the impeachment hearings left Trump   unscathed.

Oh?

We don't  know about the dog that didn't/couldn't  bark.  What would  Donnie's  ratings be now but for Adam's brilliantly conducted investigation?

 


85% of Republicans say impeachment was a waste of time. But that 15%? if 1/3 turns from Trump, it could make a big difference. Especially once we start looking at Independents.

A lot of people were tired of Clinton/Gore by 2000, which tho Clinton wasn't on the ballot, Gore was effectively saddled with him (both wisely and unwisely trying to break free).

Romney this week reminded people there's a non-soap opera version of the Republican Party that was viable just 8 years ago. *Some* one might hazard could be persuaded, like turning off the mobile phones a while and remembering what those days were like.


 

Yeah, even if that 15% just nap instead of switching.

I was  about  worried about  political  effect . Until it started .

Morally it was always ,of course, correct.  Often the case with vote-losers.
