    This is only going to be considered by the swing voters come the election.

    Die hard Trumpers will double down. Die hard Republicans would never vote for a Democrat, so better a felon than a Liberal. Die hard Democrats would never have voted for him anyway.

    People who flip between the two parties now have another thing to consider when casting their votes, and only their internal compass will direct them to Trump or Biden

      The issue is not getting Democrats to not vote for Trump, the issue is getting Democrats to vote.

      So the thought is that, sure they may have happily voted for someone found guilty of sexual assault, but felony fraud is the step too far? I’ll take it, but I’m constantly amazed at how this is still a competitive race.

      You’re spewing a weird, pessimistic fantasy.

      Stop being such a negative dick.

      Die hard Cheeto suckers will find another scam to follow.

      Less die hard cheeto fellators will simply not vote, rather than vote for a Democrat. Which is fine.

      Another thing to consider? Fuck that. It’s 34, precedent setting felony convictions. You know anyone with 34 felony convictions? I don’t, and that’s just 34 for now. That number will be going up, up, and away to jail, home confinement, and obscurity until he’s dead of natural causes.

      Nobody with an “internal compass” will vote for that felon criminal taken down by a porn actress. If they do, they never had an “internal compass”.

        To your point about causing Republicans not to vote at all, I did see a post recently positing that this election might be different than in the past where voter suppression benefited the Republicans.

        I dont have the source on that at the moment but I thought it was an interesting idea.

        Trump voters have internal compasses. Very broken ones. Die hard Trump fans will say the trial was a liberal witch hunt and still vote for him. The conviction means nothing to them. Hell, if anything, it will emboldened them.
