Hey, do you remember when the GOP focus on Benghazi allowed Obama to achieve all of his goals? http://www.nybooks.com/daily/2017/03/06/trump-russia-conspiracy-trap/ … via @nybooks
But Democrats can either work on shifting ideology in time for 2018, or run on issue (RU) that didn't work for Hillary.

I don't agree that Hillary ran on the Russia connection.
-
Huh. And yet she kept talking about it over and over. She also ran on "Trump sucks."
-
And the latter made up a much more substantial part of her pitch.
-
Yes. See what's missing? Narrative about how to fix America. Trump had (a bullshit) one.
-
Trump also had a huge "Hillary sucks" component to his message.

And I don't see how Russia focus at all precludes similar ideological shift.
-
Thus far institutional messaging has been RU. There's a whole bunch of non-Dem organizing that's not. So maybe Dems left behind?
-
Or maybe different parts of the machine are doing the work that they're supposed to be doing.
-
It's not a machine. It's two competing machines.
-
I disagree; Democratic Party and other social movements not necessarily zero sum.
-
Not *necessarily.* But I hope Dems don't complain when people mobilized via other entities don't vote Dem in future then.
-
Again, I don't think that this is either here or their with respect to Russia investigations.
-
I get that you don't think that. I'd find some coherent plan from Dems far better evidence of that than you thinking it to be true.
