How are they going to challenge anything if they walk out? Anyhow, Hillary is irrelevant to this hearing - Cruz' cheap insults don't further his argument in any way and he just looks like a dick.

While a blue wave would be wonderful.....tRump has damaged our country for decades to come...it's done. He was successful.

I agree, the Republicans would like nothing better, then they could proceed unimpeded.

walking out = leaving everything unchallenged
so i'm not seeing the compatibility
at this point, best case for the committee hearing is a surprise flip by an R
walking out demolishes this possibility
Dems definitely should NOT walk out

You can not be a republican, or Trump cultist unless you are a proficient liar.

And if they expose him for taking anything , any money from the NRA funneled from putin and russians, his future in politics could be coming to a close soon, or ties with Cambridge Analytica . I think he's the most hated person in Congress for a good reason. No one lies that much that isn't corrupt.
