Bad mistake Schiff made there that you referred to...He alienated swing senators Collins & Murkowski. Murkowski thought Schiff is a good orator?? GAG.
From reporter Manu Raju:
“That’s not true,” Susan Collins said several times on the floor, shaking her head when Schiff cited a news report saying WH warned senators that a vote against Trump means “your head will be on a pike.” Risch also said aloud: “That’s not true.” Cotton laughed when Schiff said it.
Sen. Barasso said Schiff “offended every Republican senator” and that no Republican had been told that, referring to the CBS report
“He was doing fine with moral courage until he got to the head on the pike. That’s where he lost me,” Murkowksi said, per @jeffzeleny. “He’s a good orator you got to give him that ... He was moving right along ...and then he got to a couple places and it was just unnecessary.”
I just saw a video clip from CNN posted on twitter.

Jeffrey Toobin, their Chief Legal Analyst says:
“It was really a remarkable performance...very substantive.”
Do I think it will succeed?
NO I DON’T..
I DON’T THINK THERE WILL BE 4 VOTES FOR WITNESSES
I DON’T THINK THERE WILL BE ANYWHERE NEAR 67 VOTES TO REMOVE
LOL.
