      9. To put it another way, Russia story isn't distraction from legitimate criticism of Trump but organically tied to it.

      13. So: the Russian story isn't a diversion from serious anti-Trump politics but organically tied to it. More herehttps://newrepublic.com/article/141272/trump-russia-story-not-diversion …

      14. On political side of things, I think @joshtpm is right: the Russia story as it stands not enough to defeat Trumphttps://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/841466340280061952 …

      15. Ultimately, Trump much more likely to be undone by his betrayals to his base on health care & social security.

      16. I think the way to think about this is that anti-Trump forces should be laying siege to Trump: attacking from all sides.

      17. Politically, the Russia story mainly useful because it'll shake loose a few elite Republicans (McCain, Graham, etc.).

      18. But for ultimate victory over Trump, much more important are the millions he won by promising to save medicare, social security etc.

          You're missing the overall. Trump has taken loads of laundered Russian money. Think Wilbur Ross, Bank of Cyprus and Deutsche Bank.

          point is Clinton wing of the party might be clinging to Russia because it has little impetus to save (let alone expand) medicare
