"This is not going away" - GEE THANKS. It should have been big in 2015. Was TAPPER reporting then?
KRASNOV's lifetime catalog of nefariousness might not be known in the entirety of details, but gigantic chunks of his corruption - business and personal - have been in public view forever. The grab-em tape by itself would have sunk anybody else, but somehow didn't. The outlandish attraction to dictators should have been more than enough, but we never imagined that so-called Conservatives, who convinced everybody how patriotic and anti-authoritarian they were, would write-off the country for him now at a frenzied pace.
What's the entrance exam for potential candidates - a psychological exam, complete disclosure and review of personal history, simple job interview of do-you-want-this-person-in-your-worksite? KRASNOV's mere personality of blustering, lying, bullying, delusional bragging would be ruled out of being hired by a high percentage of legitimate businesses.
Playing if-I-were-king-of-the-world in a college symposium (drunk party), such as trying to install barriers to keep KRASNOVs out, is based on: Fantasies aren't going to happen and certainly not soon. Is it true that the Catholic church started psychological screening potential seminarians after the child abuse scandals? But can presidential leadership be quantified? Somebody of sterling character, decency, intelligence or whatever might be a dud.
But even if the EPSTEIN stuff blows up to the max now, it was all out there for "TAPPER" (speaking generically) to find it in 2015 or even far before, enough to be disqualifying on a character level, making it an absurdity even to think somebody like KRASNOV could be a candidate for anything.
