Off the top of your head (no googling, please!) how many conspiracies with the scope and scale of the Collusion Delusion can you name, let alone call successful?

One, maybe two? If so, well done. That's two more than I can think of because the reality is that most, if not all, grand conspiracies— and I think it’s safe to say that the Collusion Delusion falls into the “grand” category— fail to achieve their primary objective.

Now, Trump is clearly more risk-tolerant and arrogant than your average person— most successful entrepreneurs are— but even he is not so arrogant as to attempt such a risky and dubious undertaking, especially given the grave consequences that failure would presumably entail.

The penalty for treason is death, after all.
Trump may be many things, but a traitor he is not.

In other words, from the moment the ELITE media’s collusion narrative got started in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election, it was preposterous on its face, and far more than just worthy of the utmost scrutiny and skepticism, it demanded them.

Nevertheless, in their rush to indict Trump— seemingly for the unspeakable crime of winning an election they never thought they would lose— these supposedly unshakeable principles of journalistic practice and integrity were abandoned by the ELITE media...

... precisely when they were needed the most, and to the surprise of none already familiar with their modus operandi.
Indeed, the ELITE media’s lack of skepticism made those with well-honed critical thinking skills that much more skeptical, and rightfully so.

Did they seriously expect us to believe without question— they made little attempt to pretend otherwise— that a boorish, self-promoting, swashbuckling reality TV star and a loathsome, self-preserving, bear-wrestling oligarch conspired in a reckless and brazen attempt...

... to steal the election from Hillary Clinton, and that they came *this* close to almost pulling it off?

... needless to say, or at least it should be, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
From the beginning of the Collusion Delusion, we were force-fed an excess of the former like a foie-gras goose, and offered a paucity of the latter.
