To answer your question, true collusion with Russia is indeed a serious matter, such as what we’ve seen with Obama/Clinton and Uranium One.

The Democrats always accuse their opposition of what they are planning and doing.

This serves several purposes: (1) it diverts attention elsewhere, (2) it slows down recognition of what they were up to (3) it makes it more unbelievable when the truth finally comes out, because ordinary people have a hard time believing a national party would tell such stupendous lies, and (4) when the furor dies down, they can engage in the same behavior again because rank-and-file voters only remember that the Republicans did it too.

Of course, this strategy can only work if you have the MSM in your pocket, and are absolutely sure they will stay with you no matter what.

If a Republican tried this, he would get shot to pieces instantly.

Yep. It's always #2 in the playbook, immediately after screaming "racist!" Great analysis of why it works, but at some point more Republicans need to be making these points. Trump is hopefully teaching them to not be so scared all the time, and that we can actually win if we will just fight.
