The Trump campaign did not collude with Russia. A few flunkies were indicted for unrelated tax issues and for lying to the investigators about some minor details. But nothing at all supports the dramatic claims of collusion made since the beginning of the affair. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In a just world the people who for more then two years hyped the conspiracy theory and caused so much damage would be pushed out of their public positions.

The inquiry touched on a wide array of matters, from the president\u2019s business dealings with Russia to the firing of former FBI director James B. Comey to hush payments made to women. <strong>Many of those issues are already being examined by special counsel Robert S.

Instead of promoting policy issues that can attract voters, the Democrats draw attention to their anti-Trump campaign. That scheme was already tried, tested and failed in 2016. The chance is high that it will also fail in 2020. Trump might well get reelected despite all the dirt the Democrats will uncover during such sham investigations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The unwillingness of the Democrats to have real political discussion is also visible in their attempt to subdue the new young House members who have come up with real new proposals and ideas.
