Martha MacCallum: What about what he did admit to the president. He said yes he did bring up Joe Biden and the possibility of an investigation on the phone with him, and obviously hes the frontrunner, at least at this point, in the 2020 election. Do you have any problem with him bringing that up with the Prime Minister of Ukraine?
Rubio: I dont think he shouldve done that. And Ive said that. But thats not what theyre saying. What Im hearing voices out there saying is not only did he bring it up, but there was a quid pro quo. Well, theres no evidence of that. Maybe there will be, but right now there isnt. Look this is not something you throw around lightly. You know, well see what the facts are. Im not taking a position one way or the other. The position Ive taken right now is we want to know facts. We want to see the transcript of that call. Were going to wait till we get more facts. We have both of those relevant individuals coming in the Intelligence Committee that I sit on and thats what this should be based on.

The essence of Trump-Republicon propaganda is to repeat thousand of smears against someone. Death by a thousand cuts (they hope).
Eventually people don't like the name but are unable to tell you why.
But facts win out in the end. Be sure they get written just as repeatedly.
Factual stories have bones and hang together.
Lies are self-contradictory.
