The Newest Republican Lie – Collusion Is Not A Crime!

So most of the news this week has obviously been dominated with the Trump Trump Jr. Russia
collusion story and republicans simply aren't buying it or at least the die-hard Donald
Trump supporters are not buying into the story.
After all immediately after the news broke Sunday that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian
lawyer and then Monday when Trump Jr. hired his own lawyer and the Russian lawyer came
out and said he was desperate for this information, then on Tuesday when he leaked his own emails
that basically implicate him in the crime, republicans still, no, no, those Trump supporters
are still out there calling this a nothing burger.
They're saying that it's fake news and one of the more disgusting arguments, and this
has come from some of the folks of Fox News is that these emails that Trump Jr. tweeted
out actually vindicate the Trump administration.
Somehow these emails prove that this was all just a massive witch hunt, and the Trump supporters
believe this nonsense.
Why?
Because republicans were the first to jump on the narrative and capture the messaging
of this issue.
Messaging has always been something that the Democratic Party sucks at.
There's just no other way to put it.
The Democratic Party sucks at crafting a message, even when you have a slam dunk issue like
this.
When you get this intel that shows that you know what, we might be able to take down the
Trump administration after all, and they just don't jump on it.
They don't get out there and control the narrative in the media.
Instead, media outlets brought on more moderate republicans who say, "Well, yeah, I mean this
is probably a problem.
We'll handle it.
I'm sure it's nothing.
But it looks bad.
But we'll ... Don't worry about it."
And the democrats just release press releases.
They go on Twitter and say, "Ha-ha, we got you sons of bitches."
Yeah, not how it works guys.
You have to craft a careful message.
You can't be insulting.
You got to leave that to the folks online.
You come up with a mature response to this.
You lay out the specific crimes that you think he committed, and that is your message going
forward.
They didn't do that.
Instead, republicans are out there convincing their base, not just telling them, but actually
being successful in convincing them that this is a nothing burger, or even worse, that collusion's
not a crime.
I cannot tell you how many people I saw online tweeting that out.
Trump supporters, all of them, but saying that collusion's not even a crime.
Fox News said collusion is not a crime.
Listen, everyone please, google is collusion a crime and read some of the articles about
it, read what the actual law says, because to put it in its most simplistic terms, yes,
collusion is a crime, absolutely 100%.
We just have to prove that he did it at this point.
We have to prove that this lawyer does in fact have the ties that she has alleged to
have with the Russian government.
If she does, that is 100% collusion.
There is no way around it.
There is no spin.
There is no partisan politics.
That's 100% collusion.
And no matter what happens from this point forward if there ends up being impeachment
for this or for any other issue, or if Donald Trump serves a full term, republicans will
never believe, the Trump supporters, the hard core folk will never believe that any of this
was ever real or that it ever happened because the democrats couldn't come up with a message
fast enough to counteract the republican misinformation machine.
