Have to say, impeachment charges probably need to be “dumbed down” enough so punditry doesn’t feel compelled to spend single every show explaining what they are. Charges 2 & 3 are straightforward, but 1 should probably be replaced.

Would wager 60% of the public will swear it’s about Trump taking people’s cars. Thus punditry will feel compelled to go into its particulars time and again, and people will zone out, saying they “don’t know what it’s about”. (Yes, I’m a cynic.)
