Places like Free Republic are full of folks who can't see what appears to be obvious and everything Trump does is part of his master plan. On the other side, some fell for Avenatti despite the evidence that was and is available that showed he wasn't much better then Trump.

Obviously a setup jberryhill Jan 2020 #7

And then he can jump right into the primaries and defeat everybody. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2020 #18

It seems he is as big a crook as Trump is. vsrazdem Jan 2020 #11

He's an enemy of the state, i.e. Donald Trump. bluedigger Jan 2020 #53

Probably a good thing he isn't the Dem candidate for president. Kablooie Jan 2020 #35
