(58,721 posts)It's not supposed to work under Roberts' Rules of Order, or in trials.
The problem is that Fox will get their soundbites that make their guys sound influential and shit, but not the reasoned arguments from the House managers.

(3,439 posts)So proud of our democratic leadership! What I liked about presentation is that Schiff had video of trump saying he can do what he wants; that he'd turn over docs and allow his admin to testify then flips; discussed previous impeachment requirments using easy to follow power point outline. Dems were prepared; repubs were just a mishmash of RW taking points--as they attempt to defend the indefensible.
The only thing missing and perhaps I missed it, is video of moscowmitch re clinton impeachment trial vs now re requiring witnesses; video where he literally contradicts himself--he cannot be an impartial juror [there's also video on that as well!]
