1. This thread is a fair response to criticisms that Davidson's article doesn't answer political question of how Trump goes down.https://twitter.com/adamdavidson/status/985543549088423936 …

6. So far most of Trump's scandals relatively offstage: Mueller's running tight ship, there's lots of reporting from unnamed sources. Only Stormy Daniels telegenic (and she's rattled Trump for that reason, among others).

7. And so far house & senate hearings have been behind closed doors. If Dems take House and/or Senate, they should really push for televised hearings.

8. If there are televised hearings, Fox will of course try to spin or maybe run lots and lots of panda porn. But I think that won't work.pic.twitter.com/cdZ25aeY2S

9. If there are televised corruption hearings, they'll be the biggest news. If Fox tries to counter with Panda Porn strategy they'll lose viewers (even GOP base will want news).

10. And live hearings will also limit ability of anyone to really spin them. I think that's the best way to chip at Trump's support.

Unless you can find a way to make Fox News televise them and then present accurate coverage, it won’t affect his core support.

This is the problem. We don’t have any sort of shared reference to grounded reality anymore, and even if the hearings look horrible, we’re dealing with people who will happily ignore their own eyes and ears

People watched because there was nothing else to watch in a 3 channel universe when all 3 were showing the Watergate hearings. Not sure that televised hearings would have the same effect today.

Is the GOP in '73 that formed Nixon's constituency the same group as Trump's though? And would they be affected by hearings? A lot of Trump's support comes from the "pwn the libs" crowd who I'd be surprised would care.
