re: #268 Hecuba’s daughter

No one would have cared. Vietnam was a deeply unpopular war that ended over 40 years ago. The fact that someone lied to escape serving would not be shocking and would never have affected the 2016 results, especially given that Trump was a Republican. Trump’s disparaged McCain during the campaign and that didn’t harm him; why would his evading the draft 50 years ago make any difference?

Remember how Senator Kerry’s Vietnam service record was turned even against him by the Swift Boaters while Bush’s draft-dodging stint with the Air National Guard was overlooked.
