The OP puts it perfectly—Democrats are making Trump the issue.
They never listen to me lol, but I think that’s a mistake. I know it’s a mistake, actually. The only question is how big of a mistake it is.
Outside of The Bubble, people are sick of hearing about Russia and/or collusion. Mueller may come up with something but that looks increasingly unlikely. In fact, democrats may have their own ‘Mueller issue’ to contend with by November—in the form of the Huber investigation which the media is dutifully doing it’s best to ignore.
The economy is dong so well democrats have been forced to try and credit Obama for it. Trump has weathered ‘Stormy’ and every other political storm that would sink a normal politician. Trump has made significant progress with NK, he is pressuring China on trade concessions like no one ever has.
Meanwhile, I can’t name a single idea democrats are going to run on in November, except—‘no more Trump’.
Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Actually, the economy is slowing, the DOW has been dropping, and there's increasing evidence of Russian collusion, as much as the Trumpanzees want to deny it. All of the economic improvements so far have just been continuations of trends established under Obama. Those are fading out now, and Trump has nothing to work with.
