Trump should have never tried to cover up the hush money. Actually, even better, he should have never paid. I can't imagine he'd lose that many votes for infidelity.
If if and buts were candy and nuts oh, what a Merry Christmas we all would have.
No, he almost certainly would not have lost any votes. Like Joe Biden, admitting, he stole his wife from another man while she was still married. He would lose any votes either.
But, by definition, hush money is done because you don’t want it known publicly. So of course you’re gonna cover it up. He spread the payments out and called them legal expense on his bookkeeping. It was his own money, this was not a public company, so there was nothing being hidden from any investors. New York law says doing something like that on your company books is a misdemeanor, but it’s not a federal election offense no matter how hard your partisan prosecuting attorney stretches definitions. Of course, this is going to get thrown out, but by then the election will be over, and that was the point of the whole thing. But we shouldn’t participate in other people’s delusion that this was a legitimate criminal trial because it wasn’t.
