I'm on the "leave Hunter alone" train only with regards to the crack and hookers stuff, and only because it's not going to get any traction outside of conservative circles anyway. Him being a loser will not hurt Joe in the polls at all.
The Burisma/Ukraine scandal stuff is the real meat here, unless you want Republicans to return to the pearl clutching Helen Lovejoy moralizer days of the 90s. "Good heavens, this full grown adult is doing d-d-d-drugs??? *faints*"
And yes, I've heard the arguments for dragging Hunter for the drugs and prostitutes and I still conclude that it's dumb and not productive.
I get ya. I like strippers and booze ( no more powders) as much as the next guy. But OTOH I kind of link seeing him dragged. Trump was a major womanizer, maybe he should weigh in. Seriously I think his insight would be good. Not joking a bit!
Some will care and if anyone else (China, Russia, Clinton’s, etc.) had access to those photos then not only would Hunter potentially be compromised but his father would as well.
Exactly, this is kompromat.That pic of Hunter asleep with the meth pipe hanging out of his mouth? He didn't take that, someone else did. And I bet they have a copy, whoever they are. Remember Oleg Deripaska's girlfriend who ended up in jail in the Philippinnes Thailand?
I think the drugs/prostitute stuff is relevant as it hammers home the fact that there is no way in hell someone like Hunter could be hired by the companies he "worked" for, or entrusted with the investments he was, without having the family connection to Joe. And no business pays out money for something where they're not getting something back in return.
I think all of it helps paint the Bidens as a huge mess, the family as dysfunctional, dishonest, and corrupt. TDS sufferers will justify all of it because orange man, but it could just be enough to make some more centrist people at least sit this one out.

Mostly agree, but there is a danger that needs to be addressed about giving a man who is potentially killing himself w/ drugs $83K a month...
Yeah, but I'd argue that falls under the Burisma/Ukraine scandal umbrella, which absolutely should be blown up and made into a big deal.
It's Rudy's """inappropriate photos""" that make me roll my eyes, just feels like faux outrage that nobody under the age of 50 will even care about.
