I'll be blunt: most of the people who are swayed by actual evidence instead of emotions are the ones who are supporting his impeachment before these proceedings started. I don't know how much this actually moves the needle. There is something to be said for having something that is so big news-wise that it pierces through the media bubble. There's that infamous example of the Amash town hall where a constituent who was a Trump supporter attended because she was pissed at Amash's decisions and was genuinely shocked to hear the Mueller report actually had any negative findings for Trump. Now whether you can have big enough news events to penetrate through the right-wing bubble that people who otherwise live in actually see it is questionable and I am personally pessimistic on that front (and companies like Facebook are actively harming any efforts by literally giving the green light to lying in political ads) but if you could accomplish it you could see hearings like these move things a bit if clips like Sondland's "Was there a quid pro quo? the answer is yes." make it through. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...
