Democrats have a blunt message for colleagues worried the party has become dangerously obsessed with Russia: Get over it.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ testimony Tuesday put Democrats in a familiar position, reacting to news about President Donald Trump and the ongoing investigation into his campaign’s alleged Russia connections. To skeptics, the story is a distraction from bread-and-butter issues that voters actually care about, like the unpopular Republican-backed health care bill, and a sign the party is already over-reaching well before the midterm congressional elections.
But Democratic operatives are arguing that the party has no choice but to launch these attacks. A weekly barrage of breaking news has forced their hand, demanding Democrats seize on an issue some of them now believe has increasing relevance beyond the Beltway anyway.

Shows how bankrupt and out of ideas they are - trying to perpetuate a dead lie because they have nothing else to hang their pajamas on...
Some political consultant hack is feeding them some bad strategy. All this Russia nonsense may gin up the kookiest of their kooks, but for the rest, I’d think it’s either becoming white noise or as annoying as an incessant car alarm. The media and these crooked ‘Rats are circle jerking each other with this.
My thinking is that they are going to drag this out as long as possible, to use in the mid-terms. They’ll campaign against every GOP candidate, saying that “...he/she did nothing to stop Trump from colluding with the Russians...”. It will be a huge campaign thing.
0bama and ValJ are probably working every day, trying to come up with the next months-long scandal in which to embroil the GOP.
“...the story is a distraction from bread-and-butter issues that voters actually care about...”
The essence of the whole political side show. The RATS are America-hating communists and as such, nothing they would put forward is of interest to REAL Americans. As usual, they have NOTHING to offer America except TROUBLE MAKING!!
Whenever I hear a news reader begin their broadcast with the word "Russia" I immediately switch the channel.
No more SNL. No more late night comics.
I represent 50% of the American voting public.
They can't last a long time by dissing people like me.
Okay. We can play that same game.
Dem candidate So and so did NOTHING to stop the taxpayer draining absurd Russia nothing burger hearings OR Lynch and Clinton collusion.
And I am guessing the stupid party will help them keep talking about Russia. Boy did the moron pubbies fall into the dem trap on this one.
They remind me of the 9/11 Troofies, who are diehard “Blame Cheney/Bush for the WTC” falling down, claiming it was filled with explosives, blah blah blah. Nutcases, all of them. Just like these “Russian Collusion” nutcases.
This is the strategy of the Opposition Party.
We knew it, they just stated it clearly for all to see.
They will be playing this because they have nothing else. No ideas, no plans, no reality, but their perversions and hate.
They are creating lies and deceptions, and they know it. They are the Opposition Party and enemy of the state.
It is going to be this way for 8 years.
8 years of constant, non-stop Obstructionism and #FAKENEWS
The Opposition Party are #FAKEAMERICANS
The Opposition Party will continue their lies, distortions, and obstructionism. It is what they do. Make it as difficult on their enemy as possible.
They are at war with conservatives. If you are not a leftist and one of them, then you are their enemy.
One of the tactics of war is deception, deceiving, and lying. The Opposition Party lies because it is one of the war tools. Get used to it. And come to realize that we are at war. They know they are at war. So we better act like it also.
Watch Spicer at the WH Press briefings. He knows he is at war. That is why he treats them with such disdain and ridicule. He really needs to close up the open WH Press briefings. Invite only. Don’t let the enemy - the Opposition Party inside. The Opposition Party can then learn what is going on from their fake anonymous sources and Trump tweets - good luck with that.
The leftist Opposition Party is:
- msm (CNN #FAKENEWS, NBC, etc)
- Democrats
- GOPe/RINOS (such as McCain, etc)
- Hollywood
- Education (universities, colleges, etc)
- intelligence community
How many J T Hodkgins do they want to inspire to violence?
We need to go hugely on the offense.
Make charges against the dems, Hillary, et al., those are real crimes that deserve real prosecutions and real jail time.
Drive these hearings hard. Publicly. Non-stop. Call every demoncrat in front a special counsel, grand jury, etc.
Obamacare is set to collapse to single-payer, just in time for 2018.
Everyone has to sign up for health insurance for 2018 by September 1.
If the law isn’t changed, you are stuck with what you have now until Jan 2019, and the premiums are going nowhere but up, no matter whom you talk to.
WHO IS TO BLAME? Why the party in power, of course.
That’s why Sen. McConnell is in a rush. He needs to cancel vacations.
They are talking Russia so that Obamacare collapses.
If the focus for Congress is distracted from health reform, they achieve the goal of single payer.
They are THIS close.
And will do anything.
Did Bernie really honeymoon in the USSR?
Then we should look at Hillary, Bill's and the ‘Clinton Foundation's’ connections - business and political connections to Russia.
We eaisly have as much 'proof' as they have... low bar when democrat are flinging mud... Let's demand a special prosecutor be appointed to look into the REAL Russian connections.
ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN HOST: We only have 30 seconds left but, you know, Sen. Tom Cotton -- you heard his suggestion yesterday. I'll just paraphrase it for you. Basically, that it is wildly fantastical to think that among all of these bystanders and witnesses at some hotel, that they were scheming about some sort of collusion between Russia to try to elect Donald Trump and that that's just -- it's beyond the pale for them. What do you say about the notion that this -- you're creating fantastical scenarios?CNN June 14, 2017 7:30 amKING: Well, one of the most fantastical things is the Russian government spending a year and one-half to infiltrate and undermine our democratic process. I wouldn't have dreamed that that was going to happen a few years ago. That's a -- but we're living in a world where we have to consider those possibilities. Now, whether Jeff Sessions was involved in some kind of coordination, he says absolutely not and that may be the case. I'll let that testimony ride for now. But that doesn't eliminate Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Carter Page, and other people that we don't even know. I don't know -- we don't know whether there was any coordination. We do know what the Russians did and we do know that it was intended to help the Trump campaign.
CAMEROTA: Yes.
KING: We know that from the Intelligence Community without any doubt, and so the only open question -- there are two open questions.
CAMEROTA: Yes.
KING: The investigation and whether there was some effort to derail the investigation.
“It will be a huge campaign thing.”
Yep. That’s the meme. Just like Pelosi couldn’t say “Bush” without adding “tax cuts for the rich”, which we all (including her) knew was BS. They lie. They obfuscate. It’s what they do.
