There has not been a lot in the January 6 Hearings that seems surprising in regard to Trump's personality and behavior. He is revealed as a rather typical bully with a very limited skill set. Pundits often marvel at his successful manipulation of social media, but that seems to me to be mostly a product of the lack of any humility or ethical restraints.
What has impressed me are the hearing committee members. They are smart and very articulate. Some of that is carefully crafted theater, but you can't fake the fundamentals. Mostly, they are also young compared to the leadership of both parties. So it seems a sure thing we will be seeing more of them in coming years. Of course, whether this group will exercise a decisive influence on the course the country takes remains to be seen.
