I have a tough time getting excited about the Stormy Daniels case. [View all]

For me, it seems rather inconsequential in the big picture.

It's possible there may have been campaign violations in the hush money pay-off, but the sexual part of the story seems like nothing more than a deflection from the events of the Russian scandal.

Everybody knows that Donald Trump is a sleazebag, whether they admit it or not. These sex stories are nothing new. Especially one where she says they had sex one time about 12 years ago. I'm sure there are many of these types of stories out there but the media is focusing on the Stormy Daniels one.

It doesn't grab me as being a story of great importance. It's mostly a "blah" for me.
