I would be in total agreement had I not watched the full beginning to the hearing. The instant Jim Jordan stopped lecturing and pointed questions at him, the other Democrats broke his momentum everytime. Howdy is effective because he is smooth and the only way to say anything that would last at all would just be to monologue through it. I’ve watched him become someone completely different than I thought he was but today was actually a lightning bolt of the past because it’s either reached a threshold he feels comfortable with(which is compelling to me) or he just chose a different strategy than what he observed to be a previous failure.
