Trump 'sleaze' oozing out of hush money trial won't 'impress' voters: Charlie Sykes

  (Raw Story) : Voters won't be "impressed" by reminders of former President Donald Trump's "sleaze" oozing out of his New York criminal trial, according to anti-Trump conservative Charlie Sykes. Porn actress Stormy Daniels told a jury about her sexual encounter with the former president, whose attorney then paid her off a decade later to keep her quiet before the 2016 election – when the "Access Hollywood" recording posed an existential threat to his campaign – and Sykes told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that swing voters would be repulsed by the details of Trump's personal life. "It's not going to affect his hard-core support, the Republicans have already baked that in," Sykes said. "They've already raised their hands, you know, during the debate and said they'd support Donald Trump even if he was a convicted felon. But being a convicted felon is not an asset. We do live on Earth 2.0, but it is hard to imagine voters in Wisconsin are going to be more likely to vote for somebody who is a convicted felon. Also, it's the wash-around of all of the sleaze surrounding him. It is not just the guilty verdict, it is being reminded who Donald Trump is, the kind of world that he lives in, the way he treats women, the way he treats the idea of truth."
