If the Committee wants to change minds, they need to reach people who think Trump won.
That doesn't seem to be happening.

(25,471 posts)I think it was always going to be a challenge to reach the people who really need to see the hearings. The hope that this would be must-see TV on the scale of Watergate might have been a bit optimistic.
Sure, Mick could go on Fox, et al, and speak up, but would those people really listen? They're getting bombarded with Tucker and friends either ignoring the hearings entirely or intentionally misrepresenting everything that happens.
I'm not sure what the solution is.

(22,121 posts)No, IMHO.
But an ever-growing percentage of Americans are getting shocked at the depths, the energy, etc. that tRUMP, instead of being president and doing presidential things, was intent on figuring out ways to break the law, regardless of the results of the election.
And he was breaking the law while playing golf too during this time (over 300 times). What then, was the F**k was he even doing in office?
What a pathetic, measly, and mean-spirited man/coward.
I am also starting to agree w/ DUer's remarks that Bill Barr, and others should have been more involved (and more republican legislators too), all of whom were AWOL during this god-awful period that the Country was going through.

(4,217 posts)Theyre doing everything they can to avoid the hearings. If trump confessed I dont think theyd believe it. Theyd think someone forced him to do so. Theyd easily move on to desantis.
