    GOP elites are much more likely to abandon Trump over Russia than average GOP voters. That's the reason for Dems' emphasizing the issue.

        Russia obsession is a political loser, as the 2016 campaign demonstrated. But Dems' logic at present isn't centered on electoral strategy.

        The logic is to undermine Trump by fraying his governing coalition, which entails pressuring GOP elites / allies in Congress to turn on him.

        There's a segment of the GOP that are better described as "Trump-tolerant" than "Trump-supporting." Those people are movable.

        We know the most outspoken examples: McCain, Graham, Sasse, perhaps Rubio. But there are more who prefer to keep their profile low.

        Trump mollifies the "Trump-tolerant" GOP by enforcing elements of their agenda, e.g. Obamacare repeal, which unifies the entire party caucus

        But the "unity" isn't especially deep. It can be ruptured as Trump's term wears on. Dems perceive Russia as the rupture-causing agent.

        So that's Dems' main audience at the moment: wary Republicans. May yield some short-term political advantage, but it's a long-term loser.

        The GOP elite are just as much behind the Russia nonsense as the Dems are. McCain & Graham have their fingerprints all over this.

        They never embraced him and he won anyway. Actually can be argued he won despite them.

        GOPe was forced to "grin and bear it" with Trump's election. They'd be happy if any crap sticks to the wall.

        the uniparty will not let anything deter them from uni-party unity. They will fuck the market if they deem it necessary.

        Question is, do the elites risk the ire of the trump fans?
