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

-
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.
