Chris Hayes hits the nail on the head. Russia scandal could get Trumpcare passed (VIDEO)

Chris Hayes said what I have been saying for months now about the Russia story distracting from issues that are more immediately impactful to middle-class America. Obamacare is in crisis for 2018 because of uncertainty and Trump sabotage, and it gets little coverage. It will be the story of 2018.

when nobody is watching. Limited debate, no CBO score, with very little notice. The ultimate sucker punch.

That Dems are the minority, and can do little to stop thuglicans from passing their tRumputinDon'tCare IF they so choose.

Secondly, the ruskie situation is as impactful just as tRumpDon'tCare is if we as Dems cannot have our votes count in 2018 and 2020 to boot the bums out. We all know that there will be GOP-lead voter-suppression on steroids going on in 2018 against Dems who'll get NO help from this crooked DOJ to rein thuglicans IN, plus we know that thuglicans/tRumputin WILL have "help" from the ruskies in whatever way they need to have it in order to keep tRumputin and the GOP in office/in power which IS what putin wants.

We have to face the fact that we as a world and party are screwed 10,000 ways from Sunday with the russia-gate and with the tRumputinDon'tCare bill, and even if we focus on how hideous the tRumputinDon'tCare bill is 24/7, and get town-halls going on all over telling thuglicans to shove that health care, but how will people vote the GOP bums OUT if our votes don't count--if we're voter-suppressed IE: crosschecked, voter-purged off voting rolls, when the ruskies once again will be "allowed" to meddle with our upcoming mid-term elections using NEW and IMPROVED techniques to perhaps help with voter-purging, voter-crosschecking used against our antiquated, vulnerable voting machines.

WHAT Dems can do about ANY of this with a tRumputin DOJ in charge as 2018 (And even as 2020) comes quickly, is anybody's guess.
