For many on the left or right....
1. As long as their side wins anything is fair play.
2. Who cares if people on their side have been accused/convicted of XYZ...because someone on the other side has also done XYZ, it makes it ok.
3. People will convince themselves of anything as long as it supports their view. Their side can do no wrong because of deep state/Illuminati/hoax/aliens, etc
What this means is that Trump (Or Clinton, Obama, Bush, Reagan, etc) could in fact shoot someone on fifth avenue and still their approval would never dip below 40% +\- 3-4%. "It wasn't actually him...it was a stunt...that person isn't really dead....it was a deep fake video....", etc...
Trump will be defeated by a huge margin. The dem will get 330-350 or more electoral votes. Trump will lose many Republican states such as Iowa.
His only play was the same play he had in 2016....get folks to hate the other candidate by finding dirt. It hasn't worked.
