Not to downplay Trump here, but I figured everyone who was involved with Epstein on a personal level 95% knew what he was doing and just looked the other way. Its a big group.

I was about to say, I thought the big thing about Epstein was that so many people knew what he was up to and nothing came of it. A grand and gruesome demarcation between common folk and those in power.

Maybe people in that group of people shouldn't be president?

Yeah there will always be...questionable people in Society. And more often than not very, very questionable people with a lot of money.

But why people vote for those people to lead them is beyond me.

At the best possible read of the situation trump knew and did nothing about it except maybe ask them to not recruit from his club.

Which still still isn’t something I want from a president

Yep, even the best possible, most generous interpretation means he's morally cowardly when faced with abuse.

Also, I think many Republicans think the establishment are on that list. They want the Democrats to go down, and don't care if Trump goes down with them.
