Can you point out why my quote has lowered the bar?

go back and reread it. Pointing out that the vast majority of the people he associated with have not been indicted as if that's something to brag about

It wasn't bragging. It was a counterpoint to PeteF's notion that you are defined by those you associate with (ergo the few who Trump associated with and who were indicted supposedly defined Trump). If the vast majority of people you associate with are not criminals or liars or sexists, homophobes, racists, misogynists, or all-around vulgar, nasty people, how are you then defined by the vast minority of those who were indicted and you associated with?

On the other hand, before he ran for President, he did associate with a lot of folks like the Clintons, Schumer, New York polticians, Democrats, so, maybe some of their scumminess rubbed off on him.

What blame? I deferred, on the other hand, to your notion of Trump being defined by those he associated with to point out that the scumminess that you attribute to Trump might indeed have been a result of his association with those others. What is your problem with that? How is that a retreat? Are you retreating from your own notion?
