I certainly see you’re point. Maybe had this come out, in such a close election, it tips the election. I can appreciate that.

But for me personally, he covered up a decade old one night stand with a woman after a well-timed Access Hollywood release. I just don’t think that is a big deal. It’s politics - I doubt anyone knows or cares about this if Clinton had won. If we wanna clean up politics, enforce and charge those election crimes.
