Daily Kos Article: Chris Hayes while we are focused on Hearings Senate could get Trumpcare passed.

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/6/8/1669872/-Chris-Hayes-hits-the-nail-on-the-head-Russia-scandal-could-get-Trumpcare-passed

snip of article:

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.

While it is not entirely intuitive, the complete engulfment into the Russia scandal created the bait & switch Republicans needed to pass Trumpcare. Chris Hayes made that exact point during the last segment of All-In.

"I think there is a case to be made that Russia right now is helping the Senate pass a health care bill," Chris Hayes said. "I think that if there was more ..."

His panel started to chuckle unable to think outside of the box. Remember most of these same panelists thought Trump could never become president.

election you did your part to undermine Hillary after the primaries with more than one guest after another continuing to bash Hillary

Also, strange as this may sound Democrats can walk and chew gum at the same time, but thanks to those who voted third party or stayed home because of the false equivalency that your network pushed between trump and Hillary, the republicans have the majority in congress, and the Demicrats are limited in what they can do until 2018

So this distraction that Hayes speaks of may very well set the course for 2018

In other words, it isn't a distraction. That is the same nonsense Nina Turner and others who were undermining Hillary during the campaign have been pushing lately. It is bullshit

Democrats have been actively fighting the republicans on healthcare, environmental, and other issues trying to roll back the progress that Democrats have made in the last 70 some years, so I don't know what universe they are coming from

Also, a foreign power interfering with our election is a big deal, and not an unnecessary distraction
