The Dems have painted themselves into a corner. The "Russia collusion" meme fizzled out. The "Trump is crazy" meme never took off. The "impeach Trump for no reason" meme only sounded reasonable to Maxine Waters. The "ban guns" meme only works for a week after a shooting. The "open borders", "destroy ICE", "save MS-13 children" memes are unpopular. Bernie is looking more like a crazy Commie professor. Hillary continues to be a bitter angry loser. Pelosi sounds like a screeching drunk hag. So the two wings of the Dem party will split more. The urban/black/college wing will go into full Socialist "kill whitey" mode which will hurt Dems in the mid-west who want to appear moderate. Hopefully the more and more people will drop out of both major parties and stop funding them.

I said this the day the election results came in, our job is to pin the left to their narrative. Hammer on Clinton and Russia so hard, bait them so much, keep them so focused on those two topics that it makes it impossible for them to pivot to a reasonable position come mid-terms. Glad it's being done!
I find it absolutely hilarious every time the "muh Russia" narrative starts fizzling out and you think the Left might try to pivot, Trump comes out and baits the crap out of them to put it back center stage.
Trump is absolutely loving every single second the Left shouts "Russia" or indicts 12 russians. I mean look what happened when they indicted those Russian companies. Never in a million years did they think someone would show up prepared to defend themselves and ask for discovery. The scramble to walk that back was amazing.
Trump is TRYING to BAIT them into a position they can't walk back. I think he got it with the 12 russians. I am going to do a spit take the second I hear one of those Russians named actually shows up in court with a lawyer asking for discovery. Ah hahahaha. God Bless Trump.

Al Capone once remarked of Benito Mussolini "He will do OK if he can just control his people". The Dems are no longer in control of their people who are in a Gadarene rush to the extremes of looney leftism. Sure, some of the old guard of Democrats get this - witness their scrambling to block their own proposition to vote on abolishing ICE, but they are increasingly marginalized.
