Thoughts? I'm more interested in what registered dems and independents think than republicans (and especially conspiracy theorists) |
| He's better than any of the Trump kids. |
| Agree that there is much to find fault with on the Trumps. Also tons of mixing business with politics on the Trump and Kushner side. But how does it sit with people outside the beltway? Do people separate addiction and say this can happen to anyone, or do they have more questions? |

That came out a long time ago.
I don't like Hunter, that's what I think. However this is Life - the children of the powerful get breaks that others don't. I also think that whether or not we pin anything on him, we should first focus on impeaching the President, and investigating nepotism in the White House. |
You're joking, right? I'll tell you exactly how people "outside the beltway" see him: As a spoiled, entitled crack-head who let his family fall apart while he used his name and influence to build wealth, selling out his country and his father at the same time. |

He is a messy trainwreck, that New Yorker piece was designed to try to control the narrative. He lived in the shadow of Beau (who was a humble and better man)

Messy train wreck is right.
Indulged by his dad. This impeachment news will hurt Biden because in no world does it look good for him. Warren is happy. |
+1 as are many of her supporters and other progressives |
It doesn't look bad for Biden. He has a bad son and lost his good son. That's relatable, even if it's not wonderful. |
Wishful thinking. Why would dad take him to China and let him take that dirty investment? It’s too close for comfort |
He was discharged from the military for cocaine use and a month later was hired into that Ukraine company. Seriously? |
It's Ukraine AND China. Doesn't bode well for Joe. |
Captured with bongs all sorts of id’s, user of prostitues, his business partner convicted (then overturned). Hunter looks really, really bad. |
| Interesting - how would these views above change the way a dem or independent votes? Republicans who support T will hate him anyway. |
Just the kind of guy you would want on the board of your energy company, right? Or, the kind of guy that you would give a billion to for investment. |
