Former president Donald Trump said the "real verdict" would be the US election in November after a New York jury convicted him on all charges in his hush money case on Thursday.
November 5th is for all the marbles...
GOTV.
An electoral defeat and he's reduced to the ash heap of history.
A victory... and while I don't believe in the whole "Democracy will be lost" stuff... I can foresee a vengeance based orgy of destruction and chaos for 4 years... and that would be VERY BAD for the US and the world.

(6,634 posts)Not that he will ever get near the White House again,. We need a win in November and we'll get it after this. His showing in Republican primaries, according to Republican biased media who claim Joe Biden's 90% primary totals are "dismal" for an incumbent, is much worse than that, largely because there has been a very consistent percentage of Republican primary voters who have said they won't support him if he is convicted of a felony.
The GOP will find someone else to nominate.

When or if Trump is POTUS he will do what he damn well pleases.
And no one will stop him.
And congress and the Supreme Court will back him.
The PutinGOP is in a sick symbiotic relationship with Trump.
It is 50/50 at best if they dump him this late in the game.
And yes Biden will win in a fair election.
But Putin and Trump are desperate to win, and have cheated in the past.
Now it will be worse.
The point is, nothing is certain.
