Lots of speculative theorizing about TFG's trials and election impact. Opinions appreciated - Fuzzy Aug 3, 12:16 37

  - YEAH!!! -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:49
  - Honestly I agree with almost all these points except one - Jovian Aug 3, 12:48 1

- i think his max sentence in the MAL docs case is 20 years? this judge could bang him for 35 if he's convicted. that's a death sentence - hollywood big shot Aug 3, 12:34
- I don’t think any of it really matters when paired with the question of if he’s going to be elected president again. If that happens, we’re done. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 12:31 1
  - Yup -- nm - Jovian Aug 3, 12:41
- I disagree with half of the country. They are smaller than that, just louder. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 12:20 18
  - Agreed. It's about 35%. And I think those infuriated by Trump will be equally motivated. -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 12:56
  - They have money, lots of money, they have the bulk of media, police even in liberal areas, they are organized, they have guns -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 12:44 1
    - Yes. to all of that. And unless they are going to rig the machines, they still can't stop the Democratic Voting process. - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 12:48
  - It’s generally put at 37% in most polling. So yeah, definitely not half the country. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 12:30 1
    - And that's 37% of voters. So significantly less than 50% -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 13:12
  - This is the problem with reducing things to a binary. It makes each side seem equal in significance. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 12:22
  - I won't quibble over the numbers. It could be 40%, maybe slightly lower. Suffice to say "a sizable portion" -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 12:22 10
    - I hear you. What is the impact on election. If our country elects a facist criminal then what are we even doing? - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 12:33 9
      - Unfortunately because people are inherently lazy and stupid. Too lazy to vote and too stupid to realize what happens if they don't. - sycor Aug 3, 12:46 8
        
        Biden getting old is the bigger problem than Trump in jail. Democrats are holding on to the incumbent always has more sway. - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 12:51 7
        
        Biden getting old is not a problem for me personally. It’s the reason why we have a Vice President. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 13:17 1
        
        honestly not me either. But it clearly another attack issue by the GOP that has credence. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 13:53
        
        Newsom is the heir apparent. Whitmer could make waves too. -- nm* - Fuzzy Aug 3, 13:06 1
        
        Thank you for this. I was racking my brain. who? who could it be. I'd campaign hard for Whitmer. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 13:18
        
        No one knew Obama was "in the wings" until he started winning primaries. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 12:53 2
        
        I do think the party could do more to highlight up and coming politicians. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 13:01 1
        
        Agreed -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 3, 13:04
