Thinking politically about #January6thHearing - the audience was not Trump supporters (are brainwashed, this won't help) or Democrats (would not vote for Trump anyway). It was for middle voters, IND voters. Very well arranged for prime time, using Trump own people & Republicans 
The use of prominent Republicans & conservatives, Mitch McTurtle, Qevin McCoward in their own words condemning Trump; references to Nixon, Reagan & Margaret Thatcher. Only 2 Democrats mentioned President Biden & praising Al Gore's concession speech. All aimed at IND middle voters
And a systematic presentation to voters of military thinking & law enforcement (parts of conservatives and IND voters) so both panel members are ex military including one of two witnesses covering Air Force, Navy & Marines. Plus several quotes from senior military officers
If we think of reaching MAGA, that was never in the cards. If we think of shifting US public opinion, of 'undecided' or 'uninformed' voters - of which there are far too many - this was powerful prime time Congressional hearing. As it shifts IND voters, will push Fox to follow
The ability for Magaworld to keep defending Trump on Jan 6th is harder after today. They still will, but they will find far more resistance to that now
Last political point. There will be MORE HEARINGS in September, just 2 months before election day. BIG MISTAKE Mitch McConnell
