...McConnell issued a chain of tweets yesterday that answered the question.

He'll go through the motions in the Senate that are required by law, but beyond that, no one should be holding their breath waiting for Republicans to do "the right thing."

I didn't bother posting those tweets here because they are 100% Mitch McConnell Republican talking points bullshit.

It's fine for most of us. But if you want to sway those morons in the middle, it won't work with this type of video.

Who are these "morons on the middle" of whom you speak? And why do you think if they are so "moronic," they can't grasp a 90-second video as well as you do, they'll understand and be influenced by a shorter video - and how much shorter should they video be in order to pierce their moronicity in a way nothing else has to date?

Local? State? Federal? Knock on a few thousand doors and you'll get to know them quite well.

Just days before the 2016 election, 5 percent of voters said they were still undecided. Those are some of the morons in the middle.

You think the undecided people you canvassed would suddenly be convinced by a less than 90-second video? How short should the video be and why do you think they'd be more likely to watch it and be persuaded by it when nothing else has gotten their attention in the years leading up to now?

If the video was well executed. It's not necessarily an issue of length, but production. Some 90 second videos really work well. This one, not so much.

Have you shown it to and gotten any reaction from the people you call "morons in the middle?" Or are you just assuming what will and won't persuade them because of how YOU react to it?

And if you know so well what will work for them so much better than this one, why not produce your own video? It's pretty simple to do.

62. "Trump abused his power" should be one of the first couple screens
Sat Oct 19, 2019, 12:15 PM
Oct 2019

...and then the explanation of how and why. People have been subjected to propaganda through headlines, memes, and short video clips. They have become used to it and rarely read beyond a headline unless it really grabs them. Still, a paragraph or two is all their attention span can tolerate.
"Trump abused his power" should become a talking point that is repeated constantly, along with a few others. We have to fight to leave this impression in people's minds and so we have to hammer it in there.
It is an excellent 90 sec. clip though, and worth wide circulation.
