If the Democrats think voters will give them credit for demanding that Hillary testify [View all]

They are sadly mistaken. Being the good party and following the rules does not make the news or gain any concessions from the Rs. In fact, it emboldens them. Comer was just bragging about how "bipartisan" he was because even the Dems agreed that she should testify. But he would not commit to ANY Rs testifying, not Musk, trump, or Luttnik.

Rs will claim this clown show today is bipartisan. They will get clips to make into ads. Their base will not read or care about Hillary's excellent statement or the great press conference that Garcia is holding right now.

Forget about the high road. We've been taking that for decades and look where it's gotten us.
