I just don't care. And I know who I WON'T be voting for, under any circumstances. Not circling my wagon to support this loser.

The Democrats want him nominated. This indictment is purely to solidify his base that was beginning to show cracks.

Democrats do not want to stop him from running, they want to ensure he is the nominee.

I think the Democrats and media want to keep Trump out there for the ratings and to help Biden.

Only against Trump could a baggage cart like Biden get elected.

Currently a grand jury is hearing witnesses re the January 6 insurrection. In addition to January 6, Trump also must contend with the case in Georgia and with the classified documents. Fox News Channel , Trump's o-to channel in the past, is currently facing a $1.6 billion lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems. Trump is in now way has a clear path to the White House.

This indictment reminds me of the accusation against an adulterous woman in the Bible where the men wanted her stoned to death . Jesus stated those without sin throw the first stone as he calmly wrote in the dirt their individual sins . The men left one by one until no one was left to accuse her. Jesus forgave her and told her sin no more.

John 8:3-11.

Must be a whole lot of people in New York who believe they are sinless.

You are conflating morality and legality.

Trump is a cult of personality, not a serious career politician. The talking heads are saying the indictment will hurt him. Wrong. Trump is surfing on

and

If the left would just STFU about Trump he would go away.

Sadly, the left wants and needs him. Make no mistake, the DNC is hoping Trump is the nominee.

This is approach avoidance syndrome. They need Trump to grift and fund raise, they are scared to death he wins. I am convinced the Jan 6 Community is an attempt at the 3rd impeachment. I think Erick is dead on, Alvin Bragg is just not that smart.

But even he has aspirations, which means he has handlers. He isn't acting on his own.

I actually don't think the Democrats are scared at all of him, I think they know that he loses in a general to almost any Democrat because there are literally millions of Republicans that will stay home rather than vote for Trump. So I disagree with you, I think Democratic strategists welcome the idea of trump being the nominee

"I would rather the mean tweets than being unemployed." Amen. I was laid off in November, and have not been able to find a comparable job in the tech industry as it is taking a big hit even before the recession comes.

I think nuance matters. There is

The country

The politicians

The parties/platforms/policies

The people

The people vote for a party via the politicians who represent the the people/country.

The parties are private clubs, but they can't restrict who runs under their banner, the voters decide who is the candidate. And both parties have had the deal with bad candidates that caused brand damage.

The reality is the politicians are party firt in their "representation", not country first. The 17th Amendment broke the Senate.

The reality is we have two parties, a Democrat or a Republican will be President.

I infer you think the party, the GOP needs to be scrapped, burdened to ground and rebuild in Trump's image.

I voted for Trump twice. We are where we are with a Democrat as President.

Trump is using the left's tactics to achieve his agenda. I reject that, and I despise him for giving the left legitimacy, "but Trump".

There is no path to the White House except through the GOP or DNC.

In '24 I will vote for the candidate that does not hurt the GOP's chances in '28, in other words, not Trump.

No one that talks about socialism in the context of the United States is a serious person. Just like knowing that talks about fascism in the United States is a serious person
