      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.

          dems unfavs have gone up since they focused on Russia (Jan-Mar 2017). They keep going after the wrong crowd.

          also seems like a strategy that might get us in to a war with Russia- nuclear annihilation is a short-term loser too.

          I don't think many of those Republicans will want to give Dems any sort of political victory, even if they're not fans of Trump.

          Again, until the Democrats actually behave themselves and present themselves as a viable alternative, GOPers aren't defecting.
