Stop Overthinking It: An Indictment Would Be Bad For Trump​

For all his unusual strengths, Trump is defined these days more by his weaknesses — personal and political deficiencies that have grown with time and now figure to undermine any attempt to exploit the criminal case against him.

His base of support is too small, his political imagination too depleted and his instinct for self-absorption too overwhelming for him to marshal a broad, lasting backlash. His determination to look inward and backward has been a problem for his campaign even without the indictment. It will be a bigger one if and when he’s indicted.

DeSantis might. Trump wouldn’t.

Translation: if Trump doesn’t win, you’re going to whine baseless claims of election fraud. Again.
How could they cheat the votes if all the real votes weren't in first?
Why was the "counting paused"?

That never happened before in American elections, and if Biden won by 7 million votes, why was that obvious of a "resounding victory"

unable to be called within a day or 2, hmm?

I know, I'm sure logic is NOT your strong suit.
 
Americans have a history of sticking with flamboyant politicians with more than a passing relationship with the criminal justice system, from Marion Barry in Washington, D.C., to Edwin Edwards in Louisiana. Trump is a character from a similar mold, with an even tighter grip on his followers that verges at times on the quasi-mystical. At another point in his political life, perhaps Trump might have turned this case into rich fodder for a comeback.

Not now.
Perhaps.

But it would be a mistake to underestimate the cult-like devotion of Trump’s followers – the contempt Trump’s followers have for facts and the truth, the willingness of Trump supporters to disregard and attack political convention and established norms, and the contempt Trump sycophants have for the rule of law and our democratic institutions.
