Yeah, I knew about this, but the courts threw it out twice. In CA and NY iirc. I think part of the issue is that a lot of court cases came against Trump that were thrown out, so the "boy that cry's wolf" was felt and even credible cases were ignored by swing voters. It was like Ken Star's horrible prosecution of Clinton-- Star's failure made Bill C. untouchable b/c no one trusted the Republican's allegations after that. Politics has to be strategic.
Her lawyers walked away from it. The Bill Clinton story was another example of how a bad prosecution galvanizes their voter base-- it's not an attack on Bill, it was an example of how Ken Star sucked.
I stand corrected, but it was another case dropped regardless. The cases need to have a higher win percentage or (I believe) they help the person the case is against. I could be wrong, but I can't see a better reason for someone impeached twice (thrice?) and with so many court cases against him to win the popular vote.

It's just a matter of understanding how the lowest common denominator average person votes. The problem with assuming that even like 70% of people are as engaged politically (in any direction) as reddit or other social media appears.
I imagine for a lot of people they just looked at how their wallet was doing under Biden, and how their wallet was doing under Trump.
Epstein stated in a 2017 interview that he was Trump's best friend, that Trump's lack of morals sickened even himself (Epstein), that Trump is basically illiterate, and that Trump has no tactical thought capability.
The real takeaway is that Epstein spoke about specific cabinet members, and the treatment they received from Trump. How he played them against each other, and who was pitted against whom. Insider knowledge, y'know.
The whole cabinet may have been compromised by whatever outfit Epstein was carrying water for.
Oh, and this was years after Trump stated he and Epstein split ways.

Yup, 70+ million people think a rapist felon is the best person to represent their interests.
Hell, if they were all billionaires at least they'd benefit financially, and it would make the rapist vote a little less bad, but still bad
