Here we go again, the news media getting people worked up again.

The new thing now is, if Trump is indicted it will make him stronger, it will help him in the election. Bullshit!!!

If that is the case Trump should be be begging for indictments instead of fighting against them. Trumps base will vote for him no matter what. Trumps base has gotten smaller not bigger. What are Trump voters going to do if Trump is indicted, vote harder, swear, get angry when they vote. If Trump is indicted I am going to vote really, really, hard this time. This time I am going to really mean it.

Trump will not be elected president in 2024. I will not become paranoid. If other people want to be be paranoid about everything, have at it.

Sometimes we forget here at DU that a huge swath of voters are what we would call "low information" voters. They aren't tuned into politics, and certainly don't obsess over it the way we do. Will most of the former guy's cadre be more determined than ever when their boy finally has to be in the dock? Indubitably. Will low information voters be impressed that the former guy is embroiled in multiple criminal proceedings? Well, some of them will surely have been kicked in the head by a horse at some during their lives, so it's just possible that they too will be enamored of the former guy as he courageously fights against injustice. The vast majority of those voters? Not so much.
