braz basil smikle. how did the republicans do? they theoretically finished the public hearings. they achieved part of that i goal, which was the create a narrative that would play well on conservative media. while we had very high ratings for this for the hearings, most americans didn t see it. so where do they get their information from? i call them news silos. you have it on the left and right. the show they put on was the show that they wanted for other networks. it s kind of that simple. i hate to say it. it was like they were trying to go for jury nullification. yeah, he may have done it but so what? it s not worth it. if you re watching the moderate republicans involved in the hearings, you re going to watch texas congressman herd, and he came out at the end saying i do not see in this case impeachable the president being impeachable based on what we ve seen in these hearings.
