I'm Sure Millions Of Americans Are Glued To Their TV's And Watching These Impeachment Proceedings...

[global1]

If millions of American's can sit and watch a 2 hour speech by Adam Schiff - then the 100 Senators that we elect and pay for - should be able to sit in their seats and watch and listen.

I just heard some talking heads - cutting the Senators a break because they were up so late last night having to be there.

There's no reason for them to get up from their seats - and leave the chamber - to take a break. Our democracy is at stake. It is up to them to fix it. If they can't sit and listen - they have no reason to be representing their constituencies.

No excuses!!!!!

1. These pathetic excuse for humans have no clue what real work is.

2. I'm listening at my desk via @TuneIn @MSNBC

3. Assumes facts not in evidence

I seriously doubt that millions of Americans are sitting and watching Schiff for two uninterrupted hours... let alone eight to ten hours per day of it.

8. The Population Of The U.S. Is Approx. 330 Million People.....

Surely there are millions of those - even if it is 1% sitting and watching Schiff for 2 uninterrupted hours.

I'm one of them and I don't think I'm alone.

Don't cut these Repug Senators a break. This is their job.

9. There were millions of people who watched the hearings in the house

There were very few who watched several uninterrupted hours. Let alone with restrictions on what they could consume during that time or what they could do. You, for instance, appear to be using a keyboard and internet access.

Don't cut these Repug Senators a break. This is their job.

Is the Senate suddenly just made up of Republicans? Feinstein is 86.

4. Roberts was there till late last night

And convened the SCOTUS this morning hours before the Senators showed up.

5. They all know how they are going to vote already.

Listening to Schiff go on for hours will change no ones mind.

10. What do you mean "going on"??? You don't think Schiff has substance??? ...

You think we should walk away tail between our legs??

What's your point????

6. fox is showing Impeachment live. Just the exposure to that audience is a good thing.

7. the numbers aren't in yet but....

The broadcast networks are largely unaffected in primetime by extended cable-news coverage of Senate debate over trial rules.

The broadcast networks remained fairly steady in the ratings Tuesday night despite ongoing coverage of the opening of President Trump's impeachment trial on cable. NBC's This Is Us and CBS' NCIS held their usual posts of the top shows in, respectively, adults 18-49 and total viewers.

This Is Us posted a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 and 6.5 million viewers for NBC, off slightly from 1.5 and 6.71 million a week ago. Ellen's Game of Games grew its total audience to 4.7 million and was steady in the 18-49 demographic at 1.0. New Amsterdam closed the night at 0.7 and 4.7 million viewers, down a little week to week.

NCIS added more than a million viewers to last week's tally to finish with 11.23 million, easily the night's biggest audience and the show's best outing since Nov. 12. FBI (9.2 million) and FBI: Most Wanted (6.55 million) also improved. NCIS held at 1.0 in adults 18-49, FBI ticked up to 0.9 and Most Wanted came down a tenth of a point to 0.7.

ALSO: on fox and friends this morning they told their viewers not to bother watching because it's too boring and that they would provide the best parts for them.

11. There is no reason to give them a break.

The Republicans decided the process. If they don't like it then they should change it.
