Adam Schiff delivered an incredibly powerful and possibly historic speech earlier tonight.

[phleshdef]

That entire thing, from front to back, was so well done, so well organized and so well delivered by Congressman Schiff. He really broke this down with a perfect blend of emotion, intellect and respect for the institution. He reminded me of Obama at times with the way he explained things. And he had the opportunity to do this during prime time. I believe he has an even bigger political future ahead of him.

1. yes powerful & skillful speech

but it was a bit longer than necessary. He should have other impeachment managers share more time.
I especially like Ms Demings, she is great.

[dem4decades]

4. Adam Schiff is a flat out clean up hitter. The other managers get on base

Then Schiff steps up and hits it out of the park. Every time.

Never can have too much Schiff.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Yup. Too long. And they have ALL heard it already. but

What's the alternative? Perhaps only talking on supremely simple terms? Your audience is mom and pop at home, isn't it? Simple story telling?

[Satch59]

2. It was perfection...

I was riveted. The way he unwound the narrative was just brilliant. Schumer said tonight that the GOP were very attentive. I watched all the house hearings but to see it presented moment by moment, the story unfolded with such power. How could it be disputed at this point?? GOP should be ashamed if they just ignore it.

7. I was moved to tears.

[Tumbulu]

10. Me too and often.

And ridiculously I hope that their cold cold hearts can be opened.

[Duppers]

12. Schumer: "One of the 10 BEST speeches I've ever heard."

Tonight in interview on MSNBC.

[disndat]

19. Schumer seemed genuinely

amazed and bowled over as I was.

[Claritie Pixie]

3. This may sound corny, but I think he resembles Thomas Jefferson.

Maybe he's channeling him?

Schiff is of that caliber.

[Duppers]

13. He's excellent. I thought of JFK when listening. nt

[EveHammond13]

16. actually that is the perfect comparison

[Turbineguy]

5. It was some fine work.

[kentuck]

6. Adam Schiff is a Patriot.

I truly believe.

[Kablooie]

8. If Trump is voted out in November Schiff will be a prime presidential candidate in the future.

If Trump is not voted out I'd bet that he'll declare himself president for life, Constitution be damned.
Of course if Democrats overwhelm the Senate it won't work but that's unlikely for the foreseeable future.

[Midnight Writer]

11. Isn't it refreshing to hear a leader making practical points backed up with irrefutable facts?

And a powerful man who does not need to shout in your face.

I like all of the Democrat team. Compare Schiff to Nunes (who is too compromised to even show up), compare Nadler to Doug Collins, go down the list.

[orleans]

14. i am so impressed by him

i think he's doing a GREAT job.

(and i loved how nadler kicked ass on the first night)

15. Did anyone catch Schumer on Rachel?

He said when Adam Schiff delivered that speech, all of the Senators were paying very close attention. He gave me a LOT of hope tonight - maybe some of them will actually do the right thing.

I was gobsmacked when he said many of the Senators were not aware of what's been going on because they'd been tuned into Fox news (where the entire story is not told) and they were busy with their own senatorial jobs.

BTW, does anyone know if this stuff is on youtube or something? Rachel's programs, and I'd also like to watch Schiff's speech again.... monumental.

[seta1950]

17. Yes

Adam Schiff for President, imagine having an intelligent person in the White House ( after fumigation that is)

[bullwinkle428]

18. I know who I want as my defense attorney if I was on trial for my life.

Talk about "delivering the goods"!

[pangaia]

20. I think he did better than Obama might have..
