47% of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if implicated in Epstein's crimes, survey found

A majority of GOP voters said they would either stand by Trump or weren't sure, even if he were officially linked to the late sex offender's crimes.


Translation: There is no bottom for MAGAts. MAGA is even deeper in the TCS than some folks thought.


Context

The survey, which used a representative sample of around a thousand American voters, was conducted in late July 2025. Specifically, it asked, "If Donald Trump was officially implicated in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities, would this make you more likely to vote for another party, or would it not affect your vote for Donald Trump?" Forty-seven percent of Republican respondents said such a revelation would not affect their vote. The survey did not ask whether respondents personally approved of the president's hypothetical implication in Epstein's crimes.

You need to look at the text of the Mann Act. It’s the original sex trafficking law. Your survey question presupposes Donald Trump’s involvement in sex trafficking.

Have you ever seen a traveling provider? Flown out of state with a Sugar Baby? Have you crossed state lines with your girlfriend and had sex afterwards?

Have you ever had a friend refer you to a provider, including a cyberfriend posting on eccie? Has a buddy ever paid for a poke on your behalf?

Those are rhetorical questions.

It would depend on the particular behavior in question, but I seriously doubt anything that Bill Clinton and Donald Trump did connected to their relationships with Epstein would have any bearing on whether I'd vote for them.

That 47% number sounds a little high to me but it's really not that surprising all things considered in this current political bizarro world that we currently live in.

Both sides seem to have an "us against them" mentality in their way of thinking. That is an unreasonable way of thinking to me, but it is what it is. When people start arguing about a fucking jeans commercial, that's when you know something is seriously wrong with politics today and that reason is a thing of the past.

My focus is not on past behaviors, but on policy and its implimentstion today.

As to the topic of the thread: , it would depend on just what Trump was implicated in. Before he became as political figure, Mr. Trump was known to be a wealthy player. . . .which was a part of his public personas as an enterprnure. Many on this board can only wish they could be "that guy".

If it were shown that the non-politician Mr. Trump had just been a party-boy back then, I'd be in the 47%. Community standards here prevent me from speaking directly to behaviors that would keep me from voting for the then Mr. Trump. My focus is on policy nd its impliminttion today..

Bluenose morality has no real place in politics (or this board) anyway..
President Clinton has already set the standard for acceptable shenanigans while in office and while actually in the office.

Yep. All the OPs threads are meant to be troll posts. Everyone here would be better off simply not responding to any of them. Let him just circle jerk on it. Originally Posted by Bunter Hiden

The left has zero credibility after their support of a dementia ridden corrupt POS and then putting the retard Harris in his place even though she couldn't get one delegate in the primary. She couldn't even get one in her home state. Maybe the left just lack the ability to understand how bad their choices were.
Just read the shit posted by the maggies on here. It's obvious they are working themselves into rationalizing supporting their new god if it's found he was visiting Epstein's island. ALL this after YEARS of accusing dems of hiding the truth.

I can only imagine how open minded they'll be if Clinton or other dems are on the list.

It's pathetic.

No rationalizing needed. Trump was and is the best person to lead the country by far. It's not even close.


As has been stated before if there was incriminating evidence against Trump the Biden administration would have plastered that shit everywhere in October. So using hypotheticals in a survey to get the desired outcome just show how desperate the left is.


Enjoy the next 12 years of republican rule. I know most of the country will.
... I'll surely enjoy it also! ... ...

... And I also DON'T believe the survey - 'cause the number
of Republicans STILL voting for Trump would be MUCH Higher. ...

Despicable pieces of shit. Every one of them are complicit with electing a convicted felon.


And I still don't understand why an imaginary aussie immigrant has an opinion anyone cares about. Does ICE know where to find him?

Tiny’s conclusions are certainly valid. Trump’s sexual predilections don’t bother me as long as it’s consensual between all the parties involved.

There are plenty of other reasons to not vote for Trump and I’ll refrain from listing them out because that’s off topic for this thread.

Suffice it to say that the people who support Trump have already ignored his obvious moral, ethical and criminal failures and voted for him anyway. It’s going to be difficult to convince many of them that a relationship with epstein is a deal breaker at this point unless they can get some real convincing evidence of the type of behavior that we’re forbidden from mentioning here.

Well, you either vote Democrat or Republican. Crime isn't a factor because both parties are steeped in criminal behavior.

Americans, both Democrat and Republicans alike didn't buy the bullshit of a fake pandemic while at the same time Biden/Harris was letting in millions of undocumented illegals so they can cheat in upcoming elections. Democrats sided with Trump in the election because even they could tell Biden was taking them straight to the razors edge of WW3. Democrat voters could tell that their leadership cared more about the undocumented illegals than them. That's why Trump got elected/chosen. Fast forward to where we are now it seems there isn't so much of a difference between Trump or Biden. Democrats should be celebrating that the wars continue, but crying that illegal immigration has been drastically stalled.
I have said time after time, if President Trump engaged in the kind of activity that we are not allowed to discuss on this Site, then he has lost my support.

This does not include perfectly legal activities that are common among persons of wealth and power.

Such as, taking up the offer to hitch a ride on Epstein’s plane to get somewhere. Or being a guest at a party. Or even being involved in a business deal.

Of course the Left is hoping and praying that just one woman will come forward and say, “my cousin’s hairdresser knows a lady who lived next door to another lady whose daughter thinks she maybe have seen Donald Trump talking to Epstein about having a good time in one of his casinos”.

The NY Times headline would be…..
“WE GOT HIM THIS TIME”

Maybe almost half the country is.
