There has been some carping about the narrow focus of the impeachment inquiry. I get that, and I hope they expand those hearings to include what we are learning every day now about Giuliani, Trump, the GOP and Ukraine.
But reading through this recap by Josh Marshall (who has a PhD in Trumpistan and its links to the former Soviet Union), and it can get very confusing, very quickly. Firtash? Fruman? Kolomoisky? Kelensky? Kelenskyy? (More details about it here.)
Schiff and the witnesses did an excellent job distilling the combined scandals into a single narrative, but even that is likely beyond the ability of the disengaged electorate to understand. That's why no real minds have been changed. You either already wanted him gone or believe he was chosen by Christ or you simply don't follow politics.
That latter group is key, but almost impossible to reach. The Twittersphere that loves hating on Congressional Dems doesn't seem to acknowledge that they exist.
