The Republicans didn't seem to really even try to make a case, while the Democrats managed to present their entire case as a back up for the motions they made. All we can hope is that the American public was listening, learned some new things, and will punish the Republicans, and specifically Donald Trump, at the polls. The House Managers' Brief is compelling. You can read it HERE.
