Democrats need to start calling this whole thing RUSSIA-GATE when on TV.

Americans have been trained to ignore a scandal until you Gate it.
TV calls it Trump/Russia, Trump and the Russians and many other names
We need to BRAND scandal this in an easy way for mass TV consumption.
Thoughts?

watergate is eclipsed by the new standard "Trump Tower" in honor of the russia collusion meeting there.

"Watergate" should now be called "Water tower"

every scandal should end in "tower"
