Do you think the Democrats were well-prepared for the hearing today?

Moreso than the Republicans?

I noticed that the last few questioners were all Republican? Why was that?

Republicans were very adamant in making their points about "targeting" conservative groups and they went after Steven Miller, acting Director, very strongly.

Democrats, also, got in a few points about the previous Commissioner being appointed by George W Bush and felt no compunction in defending Steven Miller, the acting Commissioner of the IRS?

What do you think they could have done differently?
