Trump Prosecutions Backfiring?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

That judge is a corrupt piece of shit. His opinion is worthless. He is debasing the position of Judge.

Vapid, reflexive cult crybabying.

 

[dblack]

Oh well, so it goes.

Well, it plays right into Trump's plans. It's the reason he goaded them into doing it.

He went on a crime spree to goad people into prosecuting him? If so, I am not buying that.

Ostrich up.

As usual Trump turned his testimony into a circus. He just can't help himself from acting like a rabid dog, foaming at the mouth.

The Judge should have ordered him committed to the nearest rubber room.

Trump wants to provoke the Judge so he can then claim he was biased

Yup. He's pure troll. And Dems just keep on feeding him.

 

[Couchpotato]

No, it won't. People are already tired of it.

To be clear, his supporters WILL eat it up. I contend though they would eat anything he says and does up. It Trump came out as a gay SJW calling for mandatory sex changes for kids his supporters would transform right behind him overnight. That is what you do when you have found a 'savior.' You back and support anything they do. It is the real reason that Trump is a threat, he has blind worshippers, likely over 20% of the nation.

The electorate is likely tired of it. The question is who will they blame? Trump or the people filing the indictments? Right or wrong many (most?) people see the indictments as all one issue and the longer it goes the more that be the case. Had they not filed the stupid indictments especially doing it first, it might be a different story. But it is what it is.

The judge IS biased. You dumbasses seem to live with your heads up your asses.

There are loads of statements made by the mop head that prove that bias.

English, please. Board rules.

Not backfiring

Trump has continually spread his rot ever since the trial began. Today he handed the AG & the Judge enough rope to hang him. Once again his big mouth has shown everyone what an idiot looks like.

Don't blame the judge because Trump is an asshole & a fool.

A smaller sample size will have a larger margin of error.
It is still statistically relevant

A poll a year from the election shows what voters are thinking TODAY

/——/ Only for those who follow politics like we do. Most people are wrapped up in their own lives to give it much thought. Can’t even get people out to vote here in Nassau County this week.

Yes. Fear mongering is the go-to campaign strategy in the current system. Unfortunately, it's baked into our plurality elections. We either have to get over the fear mongering (stop falling for it as voters) or change the system so that it isn't rewarded (ie ranked choice voting or something similar).

I don't think it is 'baked' into our elections. I thin it is baked into our nature. A very different think. Ranked choice voting will do literally nothing to change that or its use in elections. it just gives the voters and the officials more information about where they are politically and real information on how close a third party might be to actually reflecting the voters intent.

We need a different concept to deal with the nature and effectiveness of fear mongering in elections. I am not sure what that would look like to be honest but a simple change in how we cast ballots does not address that.

 

[FA_Q2]

Because the former president being indicted on 91 felonies is big news.

He would already be convicted and in prison, in any other first world country.

Not really.

That is not how actual power works in the real world. It is extremely rare that a head of state ends up being jailed. It is almost impossible when they retain such a large groundswell of support.

The reality is, support is far more important than the legal minutia.

That first indictment was monumentally moronic, I cant argue with that one. It was a clear example of a prosecutor dropping prudence in pursuit of their own ambitions.

That was not true with the latter 2 indictments, one with Trump admitting to committing the crimes to his own recordings and a second that involves some pretty heavy shit. Those will be more interesting which is why you hear nothing whatsoever about the sex bullshit anymore. No one really cares about that.

It's rare, because serial, corrupt criminals becoming Head of State and criming is rare.

And in the places where it is too common, and the place is trying to be a modern, liberal democracy, they often go to jail.

Sarkozy was jailed for basically what got Trump impeached the first time. he was sentenced just two years after leaving office.

Aren’t there 4? The 2 in NY, GA and the Federal one?

An anti-Trump group produced four ads attacking his legal troubles. They backfired.

The ads showed the biggest hurdle Trump’s opponents have encountered this primary: His court dramas have helped him.

This is what I've been expecting. Trump is building his martyr narrative and his supporters will eat it up.

Actually he was a spectacular President and folks were watching.
