Am I the only one who is concerned about Jerry Nadler handling the impeachment

[redstatebluegirl]

with the same professionalism and passion that Schiff did? I am a little concerned he won't be up to the task.

[lapucelle]

1. Yes. N/T

[eleny]

2. No

[Bev54]

20. I too am concerned

but why can't the dems put Schiff on that committee like the repubs put Gym Jack(et) off on the intel committee just for the hearings. Tit for Tat

[eleny]

23. Probably because Pelosi knows that Nadler will be fine

Happy Thanksgiving!

[dewsgirl]

3. You are not, and I feel bad for thinking like that.😔

My hope is Pelosi can coach him, must have faith in him..possibly.

[Takket]

4. No need to worry

The caucus and an army of lawyers are writing the articles. He’s not doing it by himself. He really doesn’t have to do much other than hold a hearing where they receive and vote on the recommendations from Schiff’s committee to impeach.

[JustAnotherGen]

5. A little bit

He's not unflappable. Schiff - you can't get to him. You just can't.

I'm also worried that he won't call Capitol Police if the GOP or witnesses act the fool.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. He's not going to call the Capitol Police. Look up the Speech or Debate Clause in the Constitution.

[renate]

6. But maybe passion isn't what we want from the Judiciary chairman

Besides, Schiff’s oratory is sui generis. Nader will be different and that’s ok.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Really concern,the Fellow

seems to waffle when it comes to hard decisions. After watching his interviews,he seems to bullcrap topics.

[dmr]

22. This is my concern as well.

You just know the Republicans are planning to be disruptive, and Nadler gets flustered.

I hope he learned from Schiff on leading the hearings. Schiff easily commanded decorum and respect, and did not fall for the little tricks and insulting comments the other side hurled at him.

I wish I had more faith in Nadler because you just know they will be up to no good, and be very disrespectful. < sigh >

[Wellstone ruled]

24. Nadler is a New York Dem

much like Schumer,and we all have seen Schumer the Waffle King. Never saw a Bank or Insurance Company he did not like.

[safeinOhio]

8. Who will handle the rePublican part?

Jacket off Jordan? Not to worry about it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. yes.

[stopbush]

10. Nadler was ready to impeach that asshole months ago.

No worries.

[Mike 03]

11. Not especially worried about Nadler.

Nadler's professionalism is hard to fault. Having less passion might be better suited to this phase of the process. I worry generally about our people because of the enormous, maybe unprecedented, stress they are all under. They need to take care of themselves when they can (and that goes for their staffs too).

[magicarpet]

12. After all the positive build up.....

.... that Cory Lewandowski hearing was quite the flop. We don't want a repeat showing of that sort to marginalize the Dems impeachment work achieved thus far.

[meadowlander]

13. What does he have to do?

It's just calling a vote at this stage, isn't it?

[avebury]

14. Yes nt

[Polly Hennessey]

15. Yes, I am concerned.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. No. He's very competent.

He doesn't present quite as well as Schiff but he knows his stuff.

[OregonBlue]

18. Didn't he recently have heart problems? I hope he is well enough.

[Brother Buzz]

19. Jerry Nadler's job will be to run the gavel and keep things running smooth and fairly.

He may not be the eloquent Schiff, but the Democrats have a fair amount of long ball hitters on the committee. I'm not concerned at all.

[tableturner]

21. He's a fine congressman, but isn't forceful enough....he's a bit too weak.
