On the contrary, I think they are being extremely effective. Facts do not matter. What matters is sound right and getting your soundbite. The Republicans are acting like rabid prosecutors out to uncover some grave injustice being hidden by the FBI. And, these questions, on their bare face, seem so simple. Yet, "they" refuse to answer. And, the public DEMANDS these answers. But, they aren't getting them. It's a conspiracy.
Their speech patterns and body language all work very well in making you want to side with them, regardless of the subject material.
I disagree. They look like fucking stooges
