Kudos, Nicole Wallace and Elise Jordan. Patriots.

What Nicole just said and what Elise Jordan followed up with was so crystal clear and clear eyed.

One of the guests — Deutsch — was saying that the needle hasn’t moved on impeachment, that in spite of all of the findings of the impeachment inquiry, the country apparently doesn’t care, and that the Democrats need to MAKE people care, by talking about how trump is going to betray you on healthcare, etc.

Nicole stopped him and said wait a minute.. Half the country USED to care about.... It would be a mistake for the democrats to think they have to convince republicans.. the question is why don’t they care?

I want to get the exact quote. It was a thing of beauty. Around 4:40 pm ET.

and that 50% can only go up from here as more hearings are held and facts are laid out for all to see.

It matters which of those 50% vote and which state they vote in.

He proved in 2016 that he could win with less than 50% of the voters.

Now chairman Schiff has exposed Trump's crimes, and soon chairman Nadler will expose more.
After you subtract those Trump voters who are against crime, and are for the constitution, and will abstain in 2020,
Trump's narrow victories in swing states will turn into landslide loss.

But,until the Corporate Media,who btw helped elect this Crook,changes it direction away from trying to defend the Crook,too,defending the rule of law. Nothing changes much.

Wallace had a fairly decent program today,but,she still will not admit her GOP needs to step up to the plate and demand the Crook be removed immediately.
