Had he fought the charges during his campaign he might have done better. People like a fighter.
IMHO, to put it more accurately: Had he been able to fight the charges...
Since the charges were based on the truth of the situations and his defense could only have been based on outright lies and deception, it never would have worked.
HUH?
He AND every liberal dimRAT and their henchmen, the MSM media fought to cover-up the truth of the charges....and to discredit REAL heroes
