(16,082 posts)... likely think this felony conviction enhances trDUMP's toxic male alpha macho he man bona fides.
More meatheads will now come out of the woodwork and out from under the rock where they been hiding to vote for his sorry Fascist ass.
After all the conviction was rigged,... haven't you heard.

(496 posts)This helps him out. He will become a martyr and more will vote for him, they will spin it as its all political and the only way to counter it is to vote for him. They already think all the cases are just political persecution and this will just cement it. Convicting him on all accounts was a mistake, and just makes it look more political. Heck they get video of a murder killing 2 people and charge them with 5 or 6 crimes and only get a conviction on 3 or 4.

(1,776 posts)There is no way this "helps" him. You could argue (I don't) that it won't hurt him too badly, but helps him? Not a chance. He's already flogged the martyr thing to death.
Personally, I think this sinks him.

(1,776 posts)But getting convicted of 34 felonies does not in any way "help" Donald Trump's chances to win the election. That's crisis management spin to feed to the MAGATs. The election just got a little easier for Biden to win, but of course, no guarantees that he will - Dems still need to GOTV and bury him.

Don't let defeat escape the jaws of victory by being complacent again.
