And then Collins took to the floor and gave a Trump campaign speech on the floor of the US House of Representatives

In a nutshell.

6. Great speech butt sadly it won't

convince one Republican to stand up for the country.

[StarfishSaver]

10. At this point, he isn't talking to them. He's talking to history.

[Kurt V.]

13. +1

[crickets]

14. And he did so very well.

[iluvtennis]

8. Incredible Speech

Great job Steny.

9. Loved it.

[Takket]

11. we bring logic, reason, and truth... they bring anger, emotion, and literal fist pounding.......

Their method is more "sexy", appeals to baser instincts. Appeals to people that watch too many action movies.

Our method appeals to people who, to put it simply, think.

12. Great speech. Behold a statesman.

Every Representative voting against impeachment is called out for abandoning their honor.

15. Republicans are back on their heels

They are promulgating lies and everyone in the country knows it, including them, and including Trump. They have lost momentum. They may delay the inevitable, they may hold power for awhile, but they will never get it back and they will always be tainted with the stench that Trump has created. Our Democratic Party has taken the high road, and in the long run the high road always wins.

We must sleep well this holiday season because we have much work to do in 2020. We need to grind this out until the job is done.

16. That was very well said.

We will grind it out until the job is done.

[Pluvious]

22. We must never surrender !! (n/t)

[ffr]

18. His words should have swayed anyone into reality.

Well, if not, they got their reality tonight.

The GOP is dead to me as a political party. Their anti-American platform needs to be stomped out for good.

[orleans]

19. it was a wonderful speech

and then collins was his usual hysterical lowlife self

[SCVDem]

20. Hey Susie one term!

Bye Felicia!!

[djacq]

21. Muted the Repubs from Scalise to McCarthy.

The body language tells all.

Cult-like behavior.

[aikoaiko]

23. I listened to Hoyer in the car ride home on NPR -- made me nostalgic.

Followed by temper tantrum by Collins.

[pnwmom]

24. The contrast couldn't have been more striking. Hoyer is a statesman. Collins is a blowhard. nt

[jalan48]

25. I agree. He did a great job.

26. Omg it was incredibly boring. Bless his heart...great

Dem, means well, served extraordinarally well, but that speech was a snoozer.

Love my party, in my DNA for generations..but we need new leaders.! And that is totally withn DU rules... constructive criticism! It doesn't mean we don't have the utmost respect and adoration for our current leaders.

This "new-to-DU" LOBBYING (everything perfect no matter what) with no critical thinking whatsoever is so anti-democratic! And so anti-DU. And so incredibly obvious!

That said..great day! We did what was right! Savor the moment but don't bullshit on truth.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. Exactly! If someone has a cogent thought..kill it!

Got the MO
