QV,
I’ll give you an answer to your original post. To be honest I never put much stock into the Russian Collusion accusations. I also don’t put much stock in the accusations being levelled at Clinton or Obama. It’s politics on both sides. Neither Clinton, Obama or Trump will be convicted or even charged in any of this.
It is political kabuki.
The truth, is that people won’t hinge their opinions on this about Trump. The current thing he is being judged on is COVID. And he’s losing on that front. People already had a low opinion of Clinton so none of this will make anyone now say that Trump is such a great guy.
Last Election we didn’t have an incumbent. We had two unpopular candidates and one of them had a record in public service that a lot of middle of the spectrum voters decided to give the other a chance to see how he would do. He now has a record and by most accounts assuming things are to be believed isn’t stellar.
Most of us here only have opinions and those same opinions only count in terms of discussion. Most of us can’t vote and didn’t vote.
For me I didn’t “favour” Trump. But I disliked Clinton more. If I were a voter I likely would have gone third party despite that being a lost cause.
But...
Like many, I thought that the weight and responsibility of the office would set Trump on a better course. That he was surrounded by good competent people to help keep him in check.
That didn’t happen. He drove away or fired most of his best people. He hasn’t been presidential at all (except for a few times maybe) and has failed to handle the worst crisis in any administration since WW2 (possibly 9/11).
So no. Even if the latest revelations prove to be true about a conspiracy against him, he has done so many other things to tip the balance against him. If anything, it might convince some people that trying to keep him out of office, as nefarious as it is, would have the US in a better place now than they have been. Not agreeing with that just stating that some people would use his performance as a justification for those actions.
