I am not so sure the general electorate will vote him in office- His base will vote for him of course, but is it enough to get him elected president? maybe notThese charges -- JMOO -- will almost ensure his reelection.
Trump thrives on negative media attention.
If the media would just stop covering him -- he'd fade away into obscurity.
A convicted felon can’t vote in many states but they can still be President.The most important thing is that he must not be allowed to run for any office in the government but right now they say if he is indicted or even convicted for any of these crimes, he can still run for, and be elected to the presidency (God forbid)
Agree. However, since I am not and will never be a juror in Manhattan, I can render my meaningless verdict of guilty.....jmoOnly if he's convicted. That's how our justice system works. And, if he is, he'll pay his fines and go his way.
The FEC opted not to pursue fines and I think that's going to play a role.
That said, if he intentionally did something illegal, he should be held accountable. I just don't think this is going to fly.
I think if both your lawyer and your acountant are in jail, that is not good for you. For someone considered to be naive in business matters, that person might say s/he relied on their expertise, but after you write a book called "The Art of the Deal," it starts to look as if you had a hand in the situation. IMO the so-called affairs are a "tip of the iceberg" with this person. As to why people vote for him, well, some people might pick an "agent" that is considered slick or deceptive or manipulsative if they believed that that the "agent" was acting in their best interest despite whatever tactics the "agent" was using. That is how I see it, IMO.The way I see it is .. Michael Cohen admitted his guilt in the matter. and paid the penalty. Because, as a lawyer, he knew they had the proof.
That proof leads back to DT (repayments) Repayments that were evidently fraudulently put through as business expenses.
I am not seeing any reason why Cohen paid for his crimes, and Trump gets a pass.
You might want to read the letter--I posted it earlier.
That is a loop hole that should have been addressed years ago- now is a good time to address itA convicted felon can’t vote in many states but they can still be President.

And that is why DT and his cohorts keep drumming into his base that "DT is the only person standing between you and them" "They want to do this to you, but DT is stopping them" or other similar phrases. imo
I notice a heck of a lot of references about how they will come for 'you' but DT can stop them. And I have been noticing it for years. He is the only one who can save the US from total anarchy, madness, and chaos.

They would have to change the constitution which is no easy task.That is a loop hole that should have been addressed years ago- now is a good time to address it
BBM IMO there will be those voters that of course will remain loyal but if the election were held today I believe he loses - again. The energy yesterday was sucked out of the room.The GOP didn't have enough hardcore Trump supporters in 2020, which is why he lost. His daily, chaotic, divisive rhetoric is the reason. Trump's response? The election was stolen. Solution: his "Patriot" lemmings attacked the Capitol. He still insists it was stolen and has continued to viciously attack anybody in his own party who disagrees.
I think Trump's arrest today, and his refusal to take accountability for his actions including his continuing lies, is going to be the last straw for any voter with common sense.
Maybe it’s simply about policy. imoAnd that is why DT and his cohorts keep drumming into his base that "DT is the only person standing between you and them" "They want to do this to you, but DT is stopping them" or other similar phrases. imo

LOL, It is always the coverup that gets them IMOThe problem includes the fact that two election laws are involved. One is New York State law 17-152 against promoting a candidacy through unlawful means. The other is the federal limit against campaign donations above $2,700.
In a nutshell: Trump created a false paper trail to hide facts from voters, and he did so in violation of those two election laws, which makes it a crime.
Or stop investigating and charging him.These charges -- JMOO -- will almost ensure his reelection.
