(4,448 posts)is really a myth. How many people in your lifetime have you seen flip their views due to a single candidate/politician? It's really pretty rare. And those that do, they generally only do it once.
As for the hearings. Well it's not 1972 anymore with 3 channels and all 3 channels holding Watergate hearings. The only people that will watch the hearings are those who have already read the Mueller report and followed along already.
The notion that a mass of political naive people will switch away from Netflix to watch CSPAN and suddenly learn that Trump is compromised is just silly. Those that know already know. Those that don't will never know.
What matters is getting people out to vote - our people.
Nancy Pelosi is weighing - will a failed impeachment get more Dems out to vote, or get more Republicans out to vote? Reasonable people can argue over that, but it's clear that Pelosi has already decided this for herself.
