I'm Making A Recommendation To The Dems - Right Here And Right Now.....

Adam Schiff should be invited to make a speech at their National Convention.

I listened to him yesterday and am listening right now to him - he's killing it. He's a magnificent speaker and he knows how to reach people.

I want him to reach every voter in this country as he speaks at the National Convention because he's inspiring and I believe he will rally the troops to defeat Trump in November.

Who's with me?

one of the few I’d ask my grandchildren to sit down and listen to. Principled with an insighful sense of time and place. I respect him immensely.

These guys are articulate and did an outstanding job laying the whole case out right over the top of the President's defense team who looked like a sixth grade debate squad. Well, they've got nothing to work with.

If you watched that last night, and you still think Trump shouldn't be removed, you are a complete idiot.

The longer this lays out there, the more people become aware of what an absolutely corrupt, insane nut job Trump really is. The better the numbers look for November. Some Republican senators are setting themselves up for a takedown as well.

(and I may be in a minority here) is that he needs to be a little more dynamic, less monotone. He comes across (to me) almost as if he's reading a recipe for chocolate cake. A little more verbal inflection, more *passion* (can't think of a better term right now) would make him a more listenable speaker. Obama had that skill, as did Rev. MLK. And I think Mr. Schiff potentially possesses it, too, but needs to bring it to the surface more.

Otherwise, he's fantastic! --- And I thank GOD he's on our side!

I'm amazed that he can speak for so long with such passion and in such an eloquent and informed manner. And, he's done this two days in a row even after an exhausting 12 hour stint into the wee hours of this morning. Iron man.

I wish I lived in his state/district, so I could vote for him. As far as the impeachment trial/sham or whatever you call it. I listen to the democratic side. When the republicans get up to speak, I turn the channel, I don't want to listen to that BS. lol

WE are in such worse shape than we know, the end is so much closer than we want to admit.

Elections wont matter anymore, I am afraid to say. Still vote, of course, but you will see.

I have always chosen Adam Schiff for POTUS.

I still think Schiff is the right man for the job with Amy Klobuchar as VP.
