getting that treatment? not enough, i would say. there s been a lot of good journalism done, i don t sense there s a tone to it in an overall context in the journalism that said red alert. our democracy is at risk here. it s sort of hijinx and bad behavior in state parties and one side using bad smelling efforts to seek advantage but it doesn t look to me like the scale of the threat is reflected in what s being said. what you are not seeing in the coverage is an underlying message, this is abnormal. this is beyond the pale.
all? only barely. you called it formal debate. i think that s a pretty good word for it. you had democrats trying to elevate the conversation a little bit, making this about the constitution and historical moments. there are a lot of biographical speeches from some of these members trying to describe how they got to this point where they re ready to impeach a sitting president, and the republican strategy was interesting, too, aside from a couple of members which you heard by and large was not a debate about the specific facts of the ukraine case but rather them trying to make a case this was inevitable the minute democrats regained control of the house after the 2018 midterms. the democrats they said were trying to keep a promise to their base that they made starting back in, you know, late 2016 that they would impeach this president. but this was not a lot of the procedural hijinx, this is not as nasty as what we ll probably
as we look at the format that has been worked out for today, who has the advantage? you know, i think it s pretty equal. i think the advantage in some ways goes to the viewer, right, because you ll not have a situation where either side can kind of hijack this hearing with hijinx, filibustering as we ve seen in other hearings like this. i think if you are the democrats, you are happy, a, it s televised. you re happy you ll have lawyers directing the question so you can lay out a real narrative. the key for democrats is simplicity, right? stay away from the sort of legalistic latin arguments we ve heard previously. keep it simple. simple language, a clear understanding of what they think happened and why it matters. i think it benefits democrats that they have witnesses here who are willing. if you think about bob mueller, he was a reluctant witness to democrats and here you have people that want to come forward and tell their story.
cover-up. what s alleged here, yes a cover-up is taking place, but the leveraging of u.s. taxpayer dollars, asking a foreign government to involve itself and leveraging the white house meeting is much, much more significant. again, the republicans are going to be at a cross roads tomorrow. do they want to continue the stunts and hijinx they showed in the depositions or do they want to bring a seriousness to this and recognize if they re going to say this is wrong but not imepeachable, but does it mean for future pre-s and do they want future presidents, democrat or republican to start going abroad and have help inside our elections? i don t think they want that, i don t think their constituents are going to want that. and when they hear tomorrow from their witnesses they re going to see this went to the very top. this is not just hearsay evidence. there s evidence president trump told mick mulvaney to as mick mulvaney called it the extortion
