All of this concentration on Russia and pissants like Donald Trump Jr. is going to look awfully stupid when the Democrats have no strategy and no chance of winning in 2018 and 2020.

But of course, that is the goal. Keeping the current Democrat power structure right where it’s at is the point, not some side effect.

The Russia and Trump tweet stories are a brilliant distraction from and preventer of leftist reformation of the party.

That is the real story, and the real tragedy.
