Former AOC advisor Corbin Trent tells @mehdirhasan the Democrats missed a chance to change more American minds by not calling witnesses in the Trump impeachment. But @JRubinBlogger says that’s “talking about some mythical world...I’d like to have what he’s having.”

Corbin Trent says he knew Dems botched it when one of the imp. mgrs. responded soberly to a question re 2nd impeachment clown show. Ridiculous. Who's to say that response wasn't both sober and a savvy move to counter the clown show? Mr. Trent lacks imagination, it seems.
I think a philosophy that it isn’t worth the effort for the dems to try and make their case to the American public is a big portion of why we’re where we are

I’m sick of the finger pointing. I’m of sound mind & know that NOTHING would change the GQP to change their votes. NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING. I’m yelling!!

I agree with Ms. Rubin on this one.

I am really not sure why this is even still a topic on your show. Republicans should have done their job to protect democracy and then explain to their constituents their decision. The public wasn’t the jury here.
Rubin might be the stupidest non Magaworld person on all of cable news. It’s basically her and cillizza at this point

Witness testimony would have made the Republicans squirm and really own their votes to acquit. The House Managers made a grave mistake in not calling witnesses.

@AOC didnt't contemplate that she, @SpeakerPelosi ,@KamalaHarris , @RepMaxineWaters , @SenSchumer would have been called as defense witness to see themselves in videos inciting violence and insurrection, and being asked if they should be #impeached or exercising free speech
