I don’t see that they convinced a “large swath” of anything, except those that already wanted Trump impeached for breathing.

And if these are the best of the best, we’re in good shape

They are using the Washington Post's fake polls to create the impression that Schiff's impeachable phone call parody was believed by people. There are certainly a bunch of people who already wanted him impeached for breathing. They amplified that contingent with a polll selection skewed to Dem.

But it's also obvious that Schiff created this impeachable offense himself, using a lame attempt by the deep state to set up the quid pro quo narrative. It may be that some inept deep staters thought that Trump would not release the transcript. But he declassified it right away and proved them wrong.

This sorry follow-on coup attempt started right after the Mieller debacle At this point the deep state is in a panic. Plan C is next and Trump is a step ahead of that one. There's not much he could do against Weissman (besides ignore the stupid advice to fire Mueller). But he knew the outline of Plan B and had a counterplea.
