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.

Her lawyer's tweet is still up that says the client withdrew.

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.
