but the bottom line is you are not going to get an impeached president unless you have that kind of misconduct, so powerful a consensus in the public that it moves two thirds of the senate to remove the president and you are not going to get that if you get at the end of a 6-hour hearing and still wondering what their theory is. they have gone to campaign finance violation, extortion, bribery, don t know what will be next week. if they can t figure it out the public is not going to be. you got to simplify it so people get it. this point - we had some guys. we take it to the commercial break, thank you for being here. democrats hoping tomorrow it will be impeachment, it will be emotional as they tried to turn the impeachment side. what we are learning about the key witness tomorrow. born to be wild. born to be wild.
