It doesn't matter at all.

AT ALL.

Trump's supporters will believe it no matter what. If Trump says it, it's their gospel truth. If the media rebuts it, that's just evidence that the media lies.

These MORONS tried to violently overthrow the government based on a lie that was debunked in 60 court rooms, and every legitimate news source.

And not a single Republican presidential candidate is even trying to tell these people the truth.

It does matter. A lot. It won't convince any trump lover, but it's very important to play by the book.

It's very tedious and time consuming and no matter what you'll be accused of shit everything that isn't even close to corruption.

However in order to win you have to do everything right every step of the way. It seems easy to cave in and just ignore all things ethically, just like the other team, because it's so damn easy.

But it you want to show that the book and ask thing in it you have to abide by it. And that's hard.

I mean doesn't anybody watch star trek?
