I believe the Democrats have no good reason not to cheat in all major national elections moving forward. They will do it and they will steal whatever election they want. I don’t see any reason so far that they can be prevented from this, short of significant and widespread violence. They focus on Trump mostly because it keeps their brainwashed slaves distracted. He’s their shiny object. Emmanuel Goldstein. For now at least. He will be convicted. And it will be overturned. And their minions will claim the justice system is rigged in his favor. Every possible outcome has been gamed out. It will take a miracle from God himself to dislodge the Democrat mob from our government.

I don't really think this about hanging a felony conviction on Trump to try to "disqualify" him from becoming President, as many on the Right are howling. The presidential qualifications clause in Article II of the Constitution is clear, unconditional and supersedes all else. Sure, a felon running for the Presidency would be hobbled as a practical matter, but those viewing such conviction as political theater would be all the more inclined to pull the lever for their 'martyr.' Like the media circus since he first came down the escalator, this is all designed to elevate a 'beatable' Trump and, in this case, divert momentum from DeSantis, the guy the Left really fears, as they would need to deal with him substantively, rather than emotionally.

In any case, I don't see a conviction happening, even with a NY jury, once Trump's lawyers force a jury instruction requiring a showing of specific intent to induce the actual election-law felony to which Cohen pled (under a sh!t-ton of other legal jeopardy he then faced).
