I don’t think they will lose anything over this Epstein non issue. Liberals as usual “We got him!! This is finally it!!”
Sidehatch I can’t believe you wrote that this was the end of MAGA. That’s not hyperbole it’s insanity.
imma hafta side with the siderster on this one, for the most part. it won't end MAGA, but as a single issue it'll cost them more (i.e. some) support than any other eff up they've ever committed.
there is a core of conservatives & magas who are not going to let go of this and GOP leadership, all the way up to trump, are worrying. you've got el cheeto truthing several times, trying to compare this epstein situation with a "russia hoax", and about "the list made by obama, hillary, comey et. al" (a list that bondi had previously said doesn't exist - oops) - i.e. the story isn't dying on its own so they are continuously trying to get ahead it (unsuccessfully, imo).
being anti-pedophilia and anti-child-trafficking has been a core belief for conservatives - right up there with abortion. it's a non-negotiable and the source of many a conspiracy theory that they so love. only the lowest of the low - aka democrats - do that shit. trump has consistently promised to shine a light on this moral corruption and expose all the (clinton democrat) perpetrators, reinforcing his moral claim of superiority. this potential rug-pull is, FINALLY, a bridge to far for some righties. we've finally found an issue that will stick to teflon don, IMO.
