There was no deal made with the SDNY for Cohen's cooperation, which would have opened the door for Trump's team to discredit Cohen's claims. Cohen made his plea with no guarantee of a lighter sentence which is kinda huge.

Yeah I do not know your legal system, but that is something I do not believe. I figure a deal wouldn't necessarily become public, at least not right away. Would be my guess.

In Trump's case no supporter ever told me they thought he was a moral person, good family man, etc.  They all said he was "better than Clinton".

Then again, 3/4 of Republicans believe Trump is a good role model for children.
And I'm not certain if all conservatives just switched to Trump or if that means the party is eroding and only the hard core of Trump supporters is remaining. Maybe someone who's good with polls can explain that one to me.
