IMHO: When you repeat the same denials daily, several times/day, you've already lost.

MSNBC has been playing the multiple-collusion-denial-du-jour video all day.

Interesting, that he claims "everybody knows" that the FBI "is a failing department" but he doesn't claim that "everyone knows" he's innocent of collusion with russia.

Repeat it over and over and over and all that gets through to the rubes is that there is no collusion and dump is being railroaded. It's a strategy that worked in Nazi Germany, worked in Russia, worked in American politics like the Willie Horton ads and to get dump elected. He is using it now as a strategy to save himself. Unfortunately it works and honestly I wish Dems were more adept at using memes, honest ones of course.
