    "When we look at the characteristics of what we want to see in a president, it is somebody who is not going to lose composure because he's been poked. And we're seeing that on display from Adam Schiff every single day," said the California Democratic lawmaker. "He's not too vanilla. But I kind of want that now after Trump. We need boring; boring is good."
    Schiff in control
    A dozen fact witnesses. Seven hearings. Five days. With Schiff at the helm, Democrats have always felt comfortably in control of the historic impeachment hearings examining whether Trump tried to pressure Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election

    But it is precisely that sober demeanor and steady hand guiding the two-month impeachment investigation - including two weeks of televised public hearings - that has made Schiff a national political figure, a household name and unlikely progressive rock star.
    He has become a regular presence on the Sunday shows, delivering the party's message on impeachment, and he recently received a standing ovation at the California Democratic Convention in Long Beach.
    And while the impeachment process is far from over - he and his committee are writing an impeachment report over the Thanksgiving recess - colleagues on Capitol Hill are speculating how high the 59-year-old chairman can climb after his star turn in the Trump-Ukraine saga.

    this is the second thread bragging about Schiff's rising popularity.......however the only statistics I can find cited on the internet comes from YouGov which has him with a 26% favorability rating.......same rank as Walter Mondale......

    A dozen fact witnesses. Seven hearings. Five days. With Schiff at the helm, Democrats have always felt comfortably in control of the historic impeachment hearings examining whether Trump tried to pressure Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election.
    When the top Republican on the committee, Rep. Devin Nunes (Calif.), tried to yield time to his GOP colleague Rep. Elise Stafanik (N.Y.), Schiff gaveled her down and firmly but politely explained that she was not permitted to speak during Nunes's 45-minute allotment under House rules - rules that Schiff himself helped write.
    And when GOP questions appeared to go down a path that could out the whistleblower who prompted the impeachment inquiry, Schiff shut down that line of inquiry and warned Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and other witnesses not to say anything that could reveal the individual's identity.
    "Steady, balanced, objective, clear about the Constitution, and very focused," Rep. Barbara Lee, a fellow California progressive and a former Congressional Black Caucus chairwoman, said of Schiff.
    "I think he's a brilliant mind, I think he's a thoughtful leader," added Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.), who serv

    Trump, holds the record for lies, and nobody else comes anywhere near close to Trump; Trump is the undisputed king when it comes to fibbing.

    The impeccable character and composure of Adam Schiff is now legendary.

    He was the adult in the room. The Republicans sounded like spoiled children.

    Roe v.

If the domestic taliban known as the "religious right" can't abide by that law of the land, they can pack up and go somewhere else. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
