it, but you know what?
That's a good thing
We have excellent people who know much more about what happened than we do. They have done an outstanding job. We have every reason to be proud of them and our party.
Let the Lee's and the Cruz's snipe at our people.
We WILL support them.
As Ben Franklin cautioned, "We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."

Besides, I know my limitations and I'm not about to question these managers.

Strategically speaking, I trust the house managers because they have both expertise and information that I can't possibly have. But I can't blame the people who are upset for being upset as they still process through this whole nightmare.

Oh, other things I know that we all do: They're not going to convict Trump no matter what we do, but we are using that reality to damage them as much as we can.
