      Dear @NBCNews @MSNBC @maddow @chrislhayes: Trump's base is not influenced by logic or proof. They are, however, influenced by images. Since you own the video (and police its release in forms easily made viral) it's on you to package the proof against Trump's tweet Comey-Russia.

      It has been 2:38 since Trump's tweet. That NBC hasn't packaged this and made it go viral yet is criminal negligence.

          Fair, although the failure to assemble images as powerful about #Maria as assembled about #Katrina is to me even more notable. Some philantropist ought to sponsor a contest for most viral images (photos or video) of #TrumpsKatrina

          True too. Basically, the left and center are still trying to combat Trump with the very tools that will be least effective w/Trump's base: logic rather than emotion and images.

          You are right, but for a not insignificant segment of Trumps base, we may be past even that and well into " who do you believe, Trump or your lying eyes"

          We win the way by chipping away at his support, not by a tidal wave of credibility collapse (tho I don't rule that out either).

          That 1) is not social media 2) doesn't have an image until halfway down the page 3) doesn't contrast Trump's claim as artifact with the image of him saying the opposite.

          Quixotic fantasy: every journalist at the WH press briefing cooperates in asking, "POTUS admitted the true reasoning, so why is he now lying?" And better yet, at his next public appearance, they shout this at him, interrupt him, get kicked out.https://twitter.com/reactivemzrs/status/1002173656829710339 …
