Can the Left escape the Russian Rabbit Hole or are they too far down to save? (health care, conspiracy)

[1grin_g0]

I'm hoping the Left can surface at some point and focus on the real issues, but it's looking less likely every day. I know the Russian stuff is kinda fun to fantasize about, so it must be very tempting to camp down in that rabbit hole and avoid facing the reality of President Trump. That said, we have real issues like health care and infrastructure that require attention. Are the democrats going to get back to the real issues or are we going to keep hearing about Russian conspiracy theories for the foreseeable future?

How can we know that the "rabbit hole" is really to nowhere or it is actually to somewhere at this point?

The only reason the left is railing on that is that up until Monday, there was no laws getting pushed through and so far just confirmation hearings and votes. The rest was complaining about cabinet picks and the judge issues over the executive orders.

We will escape it when the Russian spy they elected POTUS gets impeached.

i think they are too far down the hole to give it up now. if they do give it up now, they are going to have to admit there was nothing there, and that means they were just being obstinate, and shrill. if they continue on down the hole, they run the risk of losing what shred of credibility they have left.

Nah, that means they'll have to admit they lied. It'll never happen.
