This is the end point of American political polarization. From what I see in t_d and elsewhere, people totally buy this logic. Being against Trump = being a Democrat. This means all media except Fox are Democrats. Moderate Republicans who criticise Trump are Democrats. The FBI are Democrats. The civil servants leaking to the press are Democrats. In fact, more or less everyone in the intelligence community, DoJ and state department, unless they were appointed by Trump, are Democrats. Everything that comes out about Trump can be safely ignored because it's a giant conspiracy by the Democrats and the MSM to bring down Trump.
This is why so many scandals can make so little impact on the Republican base's support for Trump.
The only thing that might have a real impact is the actual audio of the Trump campaign colluding with Russian intelligence. Not reports of contact (which we have), or reports of co-operation (which we don't), or even transcripts of the calls, the audio itself. And even then I'm not sure.
