Okay I will tell you that I believe that politics is a nasty business and the people attracted to it are rarely the best people for it. I will tell you that I believe that a politician is normally amoral or immoral and prepared to sell their vote or compromise their values as a trade off for the fame and power.
So with that in mind I have no problem with the prospect or the idea that any given politician will have something horrible in their past or some unsavoury opinions or behaviours.
You, by your own proclamation, are independent and not in the bag for either party. I will not say otherwise BUT I will ask you a simple question:
I am happy enough for you to tell me any particular person close to Trump or any Republican politician is bad. Fair enough BUT as you are not a Democrat and as almost all politicians are bad. Why is it that you have focused exclusively on Republicans and Trump family and associates and not at all on the other side. Plenty on both sides that are awful.
Example - Mannafort is the embodiment of a slimy swamp creature but no less than the Podesta brothers.
You are being self-selecting and it is not by accident. It is also not because there is not equal amounts of crap on both sides. But you, an independent, are 100% towing the Democrat talking points and railing against the Democrat enemies with no critique on Democrats.
You can do as you please by I am wondering why?
