There's No Debate In My Mind What A Criminal Conviction Would Do To Trump

IMO it isn't even up for debate. Of course a criminal Trump conviction will invigorate his core base, so what? He can't win with just 30-35%.

A criminal conviction of Trump will put out the red carpet for a Joe Biden 2nd term.

Let's think about it. If a trial happens it will affect Trump's campaign having to spend time in court.

A criminal Trump trial will demolish Trump both physically and mentally, he will go berserk.

All of Trump's efforts are to push all the trials past the election, and he is doing a damn good job of it.

He will be a two bit felon.

Time Matters.

The older Reagan types aren’t going to like voting for anyone who’s been convicted especially just before an election.

I don’t think he goes to prison though. He’ll get another pass due to tradition etc.

In spite of the fact that it may not increase school shootings, but will increase corruption.

5. I can envision Trump declaring himself a Sovereign Citizen and refusing to recognize the court's authority.
