The stages:
1) Completely untrue, you have to be crazy to think that.
2) Sensible people know it cannot be true.
3) Well, I suppose it could be true, but you have no evidence.
4) Okay, you have some evidence, but it’s hardly convincing.
5) Yeah, your evidence seems solid, but this is old news, can’t we just move on?
6) You can dwell on if you want, but no one cares.
7) Well, people seem to care but it’s not actually illegal.
8) Okay, it’s illegal but you’ll never get a conviction.
9) Russia, Russia, Russia.
I tell ya….. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the backroom of CNN right about now listening to a discussion with all their senior muckety mucks. Surely there has to be at least one person saying “so let me get this straight…. we are to continue to disparage the President no matter how good things are going, we are to continue paying zero attention to the entire FISA stuff… and we are to continue to do whatever it takes to protect Obama from harm and ignore all the malfeasance related to Clinton. Have I got that about right? Meanwhile this elephant in the room that we are ignoring is getting bigger daily….what is the point where we have to change course with this canard?”
