5. Interesting points.

Adding some additional thoughts...

Point 1. I agree that this is a very big deal to MAGA. It's the number one wedge issue to get people to vote Republican. Remember the Latin America sex trafficking film that was released a few years ago? That was heavily marketed to evangelical right wing churches. (The director or somebody involved with it turned out to be an actual sec trafficker but that was ignored by MAGA.)

For more than a decade many Americans have been convinced that Democrats are sex traffickers and only Trump can fix it.

3. With the WSJ articles on this it seems that wealthy Republicans may feel that Trump has run his course and it's time to replace him with Vance.
