In light of the developing bombshell about the Russia/Trump links (that we all knew was coming), this is where we see exactly how hard the Democrats are going to fight.
Think of it this way — based on absolutely NO EVIDENCE, the Republicans, including most mainstream ones, doubted Obama's birthplace for 8 years and undermined his Presidency in every way possible because of it. There was no evidence, yet they ran with it — in Congress, in the media, in town halls, with their constituents, and beyond. So much so that, again, based on NOTHING, 41% of Republicans still believe he was born in Kenya. That’s how the Republicans fight — dirty and hard.
Now, here comes a report from the U.S. intelligence community with allegations linking Trump to Russia. The details are unverified (yet), but the intelligence community has given strong evidence indicating there’s reason to believe the source. And the information is brutal — high-level meetings between Trump and Russia, gathering of information to blackmail Trump, investment bribes, sex parties, and more.
What will the Democrats do with this? Will they take this information, even if not yet verified, and use it to fight like hell and bash Trump (and the Republicans who defend him) at every step? Will they undermine his Presidency from day zero and bring the American people along with them? That’s what the Republicans would do . . . and worse.
Or, will the Democrats shy away from this? Claim that they can’t say anything because it’s too sensitive? Or too early? Or we need to get more information? Or we have to unify?
If that’s the path they choose, they are done as a political party.
