    I don't care either way, but I find it interesting how ever since the #METOO movement started, everyone is guilty of everything without a trial, and everyone is presumed guilty when accused.

      It's a hard sell when you can only give people reasons not to vote for your opponent instead of reasons to vote for you. This usually ends up simply convincing your supporters not to vote at all.

        And as I recall the Republicans used this campaign tactic in 2012 and Romney lost.

          Voters were able to see through Romney's RINO suit.

            It didn't help that Romney seemed to give up after the second debate. As I've said before, if he fought Obama and the Democrats as hard as he's fought Trump, he would be wrapping up his second presidential term right now.

              The bible explains why things like this happen:

              For the love of money is the root of all evils. - 1 Timothy 6:10, RSV

              Trump loves money even more than Bannon does. In December of 2018, Trump pled guilty to illegally using the funds in his "charity" to enrich himself, and he agreed to shut down the charity, distribute the remaining $1.8 million in the foundation to legitimate charities, and pay a $2 million fine which also went to charity.

              Trump's most egregious misuse of foundation money was when he stole $7 from the foundation and used the money to enroll Donald Junior in Boy Scouts. Consider this: Trump claims to be a billionaire, yet he is so greedy that he couldn't bear to spend $7 of his own money to register Junior in Boy Scouts. I don't think I've ever heard of an act of greed which was worse than this. Repent, sinner, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
              "My favorite color in the alphabet is three." - Donald J. Trump

                I know, right? How outrageous that a party would spend a good deal of time reminding democrats to vote for said party.
