But “Epstein and pedophiles” is an issue that has broken through with a significant portion of the MAGA base and opened a window on Trump’s criminality and lack of character that no issue has yet successfully been able to do.

While I really, really hope you are right, I guess we have to agree to disagree.

Folks on this board are political animals. We follow politics by the hour. We’re a small minority of Americans. The vast majority of Americans are just trying to live their lives.

Let’s say, hypothetically speaking, a tape surfaces of Trump having sex with a 15 year old. Dope will call it fake and will try to make Trump the victim. LM will forgive his sins. BHM will try to split the baby. People who already know Trump is a criminal sleaze ball will know he’s a criminal sleaze ball. Nothing much changes.

How do you reach people who want to buy a house? Or rely on Medicaid and Social Security? Or want to put food on the table to feed their family? Or need a new car without a 7 year loan? Or are tired of inflation? Or are worried about endless wars? Or want murderers out of the country, not brought back into the country? Or want trade deals that help Americans, not the Japanese? Or are worried they’re losing their freedoms? Or think veterans deserve better care?

I think the reason we’re seeing Trump’s approval numbers dropping is because he, and the idiots he has appointed (with Republican’s blessing), have been completely and totally incompetent (with the exception of grifting). It’s not much of a surprise.

Hey, I enjoy seeing MAGA in a circular firing squad as much as anyone else. It’s great entertainment. But as they say, it doesn’t pay the bills.

My philosophy is never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake. Let the Republicans/MAGA fight among themselves. Should we throw a little gasoline on the dumpster fire occasionally? Sure. But I don’t think it’s the hill Democrats should die on.

There are more important issues.
