Today's impeachment hearing was a disaster.

[wasupaloopa]

We do not have any plan to do any better.

Impeachment will only make us look weak before trump. Most likely it will embolden his base.

[Ohioboy]

1. Didn't look like a disaster to me

It looked like a lot of republicans obstructing and obfuscating. It also looked like Lewdanowski in a hot seat.

[zentrum]

2. Calling on Nadler.

From the DailyKos staff:

But the first two hours of the hearing showed that Lewandowski was going to give no cooperation, that Republicans on the committee were going to do everything possible to derail the proceedings, and that, for any impeachment inquiry to move forward, committee Chair Jerry Nadler is going to need to adopt a much tougher attitude toward uncooperative witnesses.

The Democrats are going to have come up with a tougher plan.

[Siwsan]

3. I don't see it like that

[TwilightZone]

4. Nah.

It did what it was intended to do.

10. Thank you

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Just stop.

[wasupaloopa]

20. No you quit telling people what to think and say! It is getting pretty bad here

There are even OPs telling people what not to say. You stop!

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Here - watch this

[Tipperary]

26. Seems to be a lot of that going around.

it is annoying.

[pwb]

27. Democratic, not democrat leadership.

I am good with people saying Stop. If you keep up with the right wing dings.

[wasupaloopa]

38. What are you taking about? Who said Democrat?

Now you are putting words where they aren’t.

Some people are on some mighty high horses.


We are supposed to change minds in our favor with hearings. This one turned people against us!

You can bury your head and pretend things are going well for impeachment but at some point we will have to stop pinning our hopes on what will never be and get with the business of winning big in 2020!

[Iggo]

37. "You stop!"

I get it.

[eShirl]

6. lol

[GoCubsGo]

11. My sentiments, exactly.

[H2O Man]

7. Respectfully disagree.

[shraby]

8. Did you watch the same hearing I did?

Lewandowski is getting nailed to the wall. He's got the look of a trapped animal on his face, the women are calling him out on his lies.

[wasupaloopa]

22. What real effect will today's hearing have?

Did we teach the public anything it didn’t know? That was the purpose right?

Is trump in anymore danger that he was yesterday?


Will other witnesses be called and will they cooperate based on today’s hearing?

[Ohioboy]

9. The only thing that made it a disaster is that the republicans have no interest in the truth

What a bunch of crooked lying turds.

[shraby]

12. L. was informed at the end of the first part of the hearing that there is NO privilege available

when being questioned about illegal acts. That was established during Nixon's hearings.

That shoots down L.'s little note from Trump about what he can and cannot say.

[sellitman]

13. Did we watch the same hearing?

Looked and sounded like Cory got his _____ handed to him.

No?

[wasupaloopa]

23. No

[MadDAsHell]

28. To what end though? Anyone taking the time to watch something like that knows who they're voting for

Anyone who's undecided probably isn't watching CSPAN mid-morning on a Tuesday. Nor are they likely to even know who Corey Lewandowski is, or what his connection to Trump is.

I'm not saying don't try, but again the only people getting particularly excited about these types of hearings made up their minds before the hearings even began, anyways.

[Hortensis]

14. :) Courage. Remember, we not only don't really understand

how this game is played, we don't even know where the ball is. Or if it's a ball. Or how many whatever it is are. And we only guess and disagree about what our end goal even is, or how long the game is expected to last.

Meanwhile, the announcers, who also are largely in the dark, are lying to us because they serve their employers, not us.

[kentuck]

15. Disaster for whom?

You obviously did not watch the same hearing that I am watching.

I think you made a premature judgement.

[malaise]

18. Clearly

Way premature

[wasupaloopa]

24. Tell me was the ball moved toward the goal ?

[Ohioboy]

32. Yes

If the goal is getting the truth into the record, the ball has most certainly been moved toward the goal!

[Sunsky]

16. We must've been watching two different hearings

unless you mean disaster for Trump and the newly formed Senate candidate Lewandowski.

[Lisa0825]

19. Thank you for your concern. nt

[wasupaloopa]

25. What did we gain? Are we any better off than if there was no hearing today?

What did we teach the public? That is the purpose right? We have hearings and the public turns on trump remember? Did anyone turn on trump today because of the hearing?

[StarfishSaver]

30. Perhaps you should find a hobby other than politics

Something that can provide you much more short-term satisfaction and allow you to see immediate results on a daily or even hourly basis. You seem to lack the attention span and patience necessary for politics where things don't turn around on a dime or in a day...

[Ohioboy]

31. A lot was gained. A lot was put into the record, damaging contradictory stuff.

The Dems are methodically setting up the case, and doing it rather well so far. If you can't see it that's sad.

[blm]

33. Geez, you always seem dissatisfied with everything Dems do.

[Hotler]

34. What's that I hear in the distance?

Trump and his followers laughing at us.

[snowybirdie]

35. Methinks

this is exactly what Nancy Pelosi is concerned about. She knows these people and thinks voting him out is the best option.

[mahina]

36. lol

Nope
