Don't know if minds have been changed......it's only the first day of testimony

[a kennedy]

but........not going to change people’s mind with this testimony. JMHO.

1. probably not

The overwhelming majority of Americans are working. These hearings are not widely consumed

[Garrett78]

2. Most minds are made up. Public support for removal will never get as high as we'd like.

If we get to 60% support, that would be amazing. The realistic goal (aside from simply doing what's right) is to damage Trump enough that we can overcome shenanigans next November.

11. I agree

There are minds that hard facts just cannot change.

[progressoid]

3. Agreed.

I've been going back and forth between MSMBC and Fox. The right thinks they are winning. Our side thinks we're kicking ass.

IMO, the winner so far was Peter Welch.

9. Fascinating view on how this is perceived in Ukraine,

and the reasons why. Thanks for posting that!

5. It didn't move the chains... it was 1st and 10, now 2nd and a long 9.

6. Lots of damning info for people willing to listen. No homerun/5 second soundbite for

those who choose to pay only brief and shallow attention. We probably need both.

7. These hearings are a formality, the impeachment numbers will tell the tell

[lunatica]

8. The race between the tortoise and the hare just started

No one knows how it will end or at what point it will be obvious who wins.

Are you laying bets?

[spin]

10. I hate to say it but for some reason the hearings reminded me of this song. ...
