It's worth unpacking this because I think it gets to the heart of @ggreenwald's confusion. Greenwald says "DC Dems" believe "screaming PUTIN was the key to beating Trump." He has no examples of DC Dems screaming this.

In fact, DC Democrats as far as I know believe the opposite: domestic issues are their best message for beating Trump and are screaming about THAT. So, why does
@greenwald believe DC Dems believe the opposite?Show this thread -
It's because the liberal media, especially MSNBC opinion hosts, is focusing heavily on Russia, and
@ggreenwald believes the media is a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party.Show this thread -
I think the Russia story is substantively important, but I argued it's not the strongest message for Democrats to use against Trump:http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/04/corruption-is-trumps-greatest-political-liability.html …

But guess what? My job isn't to help Democrats message the election. My job is to explain what I think is true about the world. So I write about Russia a lot.

But since this fact pattern contradicts Greenwald's assumption that the liberal media is Democratic party mouthpieces, he basically short-circuits on this point. It's a fact pattern his brain can't really process.

I think one of the only people bringing up Putin/Russia on a regular basis is Maxine Waters. I could be missing someone but.... It's just mainly reporters/pundits.

Agreed. There are bloggers who champion that thought, but most of what I've seen out of Dems has been to attack trump corruption, the godawful tax cut for the rich, and protecting healthcare. Oh and slapping the NRA gunnuts.
