      The practical problem with this reasoning is one that we saw over and over and over in 2012, 2004, and 1996: you can't beat a sitting president by complaining about his life before the Oval Office. Rathergate & the Birthers illustrate how far down the rabbit hole it'll takes you.https://twitter.com/neeratanden/status/1125912657599578112 …

      I saw focus groups of Trump voters in 2016. They thought the fact he was a hugely successful businessman would make him a successful president. The fact he was a loser in business will hurt him. And that is why he’s kept his taxes secret.

      There is, as we all know, all manner of nasty, stupid, & immoral stuff in Trump's pre-presidential career, People who wanted him to have the job didn't care. If they think he's doing a good job, they still won't care. If they think he isn't, they'll vote him out anyway.

      I understand the value of this line of attack: it confirms the D base in their hatred & scorn, thus serving a rallying purpose. Ditto much of what was thrown at Obama, Bush, Clinton. Just don't lie to yourself that it's gonna persuade anybody.

          What you’re missing is how much the false image of success matters to Trump. The GOP racist base will get over the shock (but don’t kid yourself about how much it mattered to them.) But Biden can needle Trump about the lie of his success during debates, with explosive results.

          Biden will have to explain the shenanigans with his son and Ukraine.

          If Trump is financially beholding to foreign entities, it would be helpful to know. Do powerful American individuals and interests not know, or do they just not care, or have they been so enriched by Trump they are willing to sell out the country to keep him in power?

          Now do the Clinton Foundation - and see what happened to the donations after H lost the election.

          Trump and Obama, pretty much the same, worthy-of-scorn wise. Oh Crank, you never let us down.
