Even those who think the Jan 6th hearings so far have been spectacular...

Argue that the case has yet to be made, but apparently still believe it will be 

Over the next few days and weeks, the committee will have to make clear, as I have long urged, that Jan. 6 was not an isolated, one-day invasion of the Capitol, but was instead a much larger constellation of coup activities, starting long before Jan. 6 and continuing to this day. If the committee cannot prove this overall conspiracy, it will fail. Equally important, the committee must also show that the threat to our democracy is ongoing.

So, can the committee deliver?

It depends. And it depends in large part on whether the committee shows, as the Watergate committee did, what the president knew and when he knew it. The committee has promised a blockbuster. And with two hearings down, it certainly seems off to a great start. But high expectations create the risk of unfulfilled expectations.

Off to a great start? Well your real audience was the 20 million or so you got from your primetime appearance and your great start did not include any real new revelations, bombshell reveals, or any actual proof of many of your allegations. Seriously, you have a problem if this was a "great start". I honestly wonder what a "bad start" would have been?

We have not seen the ratings from day two, but given it was during the day, not covered by many of the same outlets, we can be relatively sure that it was a ratings bust (much like the first one was). I really haven't heard much at all about the context of what was even covered. The problem here (of course) is if Democrats continue to just rehash the same tired old arguments that they have been making for 15 months, then you are not going to change anyone's mind.

But the reality here is even this particular cheerleader of an author is suggesting that the real meat of the Democratic argument will be in one of the upcoming sessions. There is a stipulation that the bombshell style new information type argument was not brought forward in days one or two.... but is expected to come. I not only believe this to be wishful thinking, but real honest to goodness cognitive dissonance. No way would they have held back the big splash from a Thursday night prime time slot so they could later reveal it on day 6 while being covered by CSpan and Headline News. 

The reality is that much like the Russian collusion investigation, the real evidence that they need to bring forward is still being searched for. They simply don't really have it yet. Because much like the Russian collusion investigation it is unlikely that their own paranoid delusional beliefs are actually real. The reason they never found proof of Russian collusion was not from lack of trying. But rather because it never existed because there was no collusion.

Meanwhile, the left holds onto the idea that the commission will come up with some sort Watergate confession where Trump will admit to the world that this was not really him being a sore loser and thinking he that the election was stolen from him.  They seem to believe that Trump will be caught dead to rights plotting a sophisticated 22 point plan with the help of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys and others to overthrow the county in an organized coup that is apparently still ongoing. 

We've seen this theatrics before. It didn't end well for the Russian Collusion narrative. I doubt the Trump had a  sophisticated 22 point plan to overthrow our government narrative will do any better.  The problem isn't in the messaging, but in the reality. There was no collusion and there was no coup.
