Last night, I happened across Oprah doing a piece on
60 Minutes about political polarization. It was a lot like the Frank Luntz piece on
Vice, in which he interviews a room full of Trump supporters. In fact, Oprah interviewed Luntz in her piece.
Anyway, Oprah offered one interesting tidbit about the bipartisan group she had been interviewing. People wanted to talk taxes, immigration, and they fought over #metoo, but Russia? It was not high on the list.
It's just not getting much interest.

None of this means Trump will skate. If there's illegal money laundering, it's a major problem for him. But right now, Americans don't care.
And if you think there's "something" there that will involve Putin having colluded directly with Trump, you're nuts. Whatever Mueller finds, Trump will have plausible deniability. There's no way in hell a plan as sophisticated as the Kremlin's would directly involve someone as reckless and dumb as Trump. And... Russia wanted Trump in office. Putin loves nationalism. He wants a fractured world. You think they'd do all this work to plant a nationalist nut atop our Republic, just to have him torpedoed with solid evidence of direct communication with Russians?
