(18,837 posts)...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.

Watch half of it, go get a sammich and then come back and watch the last 45 seconds . .

StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)How hard is that to focus on?
progressoid
(49,999 posts)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.
StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)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?
progressoid
(49,999 posts)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.
StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)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?
progressoid
(49,999 posts)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.
StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)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.
Pepsidog
(6,254 posts)maybe grammar and spelling were also too hard for you?
Pepsidog
(6,254 posts)Just acknowledge you made a mistake and let it go.

(11,617 posts)...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.
