      The fact Republicans look like they might ram through some version of Trumpcare through senate is 100 times more important than Russia stuff

      The Russia stuff will be important for bringing down Trump, but in long run battle against GOP, it's health care that matters.

          keys are how much of it can be undone when they are turned out of office by voters and how quickly it can be undone?

          I'm probably naive and optimistic, but a GOP health care disaster might set the table for single payer

          Defending healthcare is most obvious way to resist transfer of wealth to the rich, fight GOP class warfare.

          And yet, the ramifications of them doing so, particularly the harm that will be caused to R voters, will be what ensures their losing power.

          These people love to vote against their best interests.

          Exposing Trump's outrageous behavior is going to create a 2018-20 electoral wave that puts Dems back in power to deal with health care, etc.

          If GOP override a filibuster and does that, be ready for single payer next time Democrats get the majority!

          The healthcare will be something that directly makes his base mad and can actively swing midterm elections. They don't care about Russia.

          His base is a lot more affluent than the stereotype. Trumpcare hits rural white Dem voters a lot harder than rural white GOP voters.
