To make sense of the results, you need to analyze where Trumps surge in votes came from. Leeja Miller laid it all out over a year ago.

The MOAD... Epstein is vomitus on the polity
Needing a quick distraction, the DoJ sloppily dropped almost 3.5M files and documents from the Epstein trove. It's not all of it, but it will drive a lot of news cycles.
