It's pretty hard to defend a pro-rape position before a group of people who aren't RepubliQ and thus, aren't pro-rape.
Trump's lawyer was kind of an idiot, cobbling together a defense that was so crappy, it made the Turd not just lose, but get crushed into jelly. She should have painted him (correctly) as a sicko who truly thinks that the rules and laws, including those against sexual assault, don't apply to him. That makes him pathological rather than willful as such, a distinction that might have made him lose a little less bigly.
I don't blame her for trying. After all, how do you defend a proven rapist? You really can't. But a sacrosanct element of the system that Trump-hole is trying to destroy is that EVERYBODY, no matter how scumbag-y, is entitled to a vigorous defense.
