What do I know
The people who are saying to me that Trump would never ever be convicted are the same people now saying the conviction will help him win.
Why don’t I listen to these super smart people? I know nothing about politics or the law.
I don’t know that “help him” win is the correct way to look at it, but I have difficulty believing he won’t win anyway. The number of Americans who simply don’t care is astounding, and when you factor in that the supermajorities Democrats enjoy in California and New York that suggest widespread disapproval for Trump yet just don’t translate to nationwide electoral votes, it’s a depressing look.
And that’s before you get into the meteoric rise of the attitude on both left AND right of “never compromise, even if it all burns down around you because you didn’t.” Yuck.
….annnnnnd… just like that Ispos has Biden in a narrow lead for the first time in a while. I have no trouble believing that Trump won’t win. None at all.
Fingers crossed.
Warren,
Well, I know less than you do about politics and the law so he’s my evolution: I thought Trump would win thanks to the Electoral College, barring a conviction. I was expecting a hung jury. Just one to do Trump’s bidding. Fortunately, I was wrong. So…I don’t believe a convicted felon can win the presidency. Period. True, this conviction will motivate 99.99999999999% of his supporters to vote but without other Republicans and independents, or at least a majority of independents, Trump can not win, statistically-speaking. Thank God for that.
In short, Biden will begin to slowly breakout in polling averages. Hope the Democrats don’t blow it between now and November.
Warren,
My emotions have taken over now watching the Republicans still pathetically defending the POS, so I’m moving forward on my prediction for November: Biden, in the end, takes it almost in a landslide. The American people have finally had E-N-O-U-G-H.
(You-know-who could kill their own families and these assholes would still be publicly out there trying to one-up each other when it comes to defending Trump. Thank God for people like George Conway.)
And as for the POSPussyTM, won’t be surprised at all if the accumulating stress leads to him dropping dead before November. May the civilized world be so lucky.
