What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

No parody could ever come close to the reality of this.

The sheer stupidity of the people who vote for this man never ceases to amaze and is an utter indictment of American (lack of) education

Yeh, yeh...but half of America is going to vote for him this time around. 🤣

If you think I didnt know who John Edwards is before Jack Smith was appointed then you are 100% incorrect.

Close to half the votes cast went to Trump. I don’t think a lot those trump voters care about trump crimes, they think Biden is corrupt.

What is going to be key to this and Neal Katyal said it last night is that Justice Roberts must allow cameras in the court for the entirety of the case. If not, there will be a tonne of misinformation (both sides), but just look at the continued spouting from Trump after all of these indictments.

If they don't have cameras there is a very real possibility that even if he does get convicted his followers will continue to claim his innocence. Even when they state innocent until proven guilty.

Trump got 74,222,958 votes in 2020 and there are 260,836,730 people eligible to vote in the USA so 28% and nowhere close to half.

Has Trump gained a single new vote since then? Probably not. Has he hemorrhaged votes since then? Definitely.

Or, and I may be jumping the shark here it's being prosecuted in the very same district as the offenses.

Well if you cant prove it then we will all just assume that you are lying through your teeth much like your hero.

hehe, I don't think there are too many people who wouldn't know who John Edwards is, lol.

However, the more pertinent point would be if you asked them who Jack Smith is and what relevance he has to JE.

You would most certainly get a lot of confused/funny looks. Strange timing that all of sudden, the connection is made now?

Anyways, I think this is where the hit piece on Jack Smith comes from

All eligible voters don’t vote, of those who who voted, close to half voted for trump.

You would expect an proven con artist to lose a lot of support but I don’t think he has. A Biden Trump election will still be close but I would expect Biden to win. Right leaning news sources paint Biden to be as corrupt as Trump, and a lot of people believe it.

And no proof is your standard reply, or even just ignoring a question like @everlast75 asked

Quick question. I don't know if it's been mentioned here already, but what kind of sentance is trump looking at if he's found guilty of these latest charges.

I can't see it mentioned in the articles I've read.

A fanciful claim ?

You call me saying "If you think I didnt know who John Edwards is before Jack Smith was appointed then you are 100% incorrect." fanciful ?

Or me saying that I had mentioned John Edwards on the Trump thread fanciful ?

They are simple and basic statements.

Nothing fanciful about them at all, just an excuse for some posters to have a go at me as usual.

Ive wasted enough time on here this morning, better get back to work now, I know its an alien concept to some.

They would see anything as evidence of that. They see it everywhere like Jesus on toast.

Show me your math. I don’t think you know what half means.

Eh, no.

The most recent polls show Biden and Trump at 43% each, with 14% don't knows.

So of those that are decided currently, it is indeed half.

But 14% are a big cohort of don't knows. The got Biden well elected last time. It will depend where they are geographically and really, State level polls are much more reflective of the path to victory.

So, to all intents and purposes, the nation is split down the middle. It will be interesting to see where the indictments push those numbers and how the fight to have an early trial play out, because Trump will fight like a kicked cat to delay that trial and then amplify the 'election interference' bullcrap if and when it falls in early to mid 2024.

Even more interesting will be to see if the Republican National Committee back him or sack him, because they are going to have to take a definitive line and do it now; either exorcise him like the cancer he is, or support him due to his popularity.

A day of reckoning in the GOP awaits.

The problem for Trump is that anything they try to throw at Biden Trump is as bad, and in many cases far worse. Bring up Hunter, well Jared by Billions for Saudi. Afghanistan, Biden certainly has questions to answer but all the questions start with the awful deal Trump did with the Taliban. Ukraine, well Trump is not going to want to relitigate the impeachment so apart from claiming that he would solve it in 24 hours, he has got nothing.

And that is my point. Is Trump really the best that the right-wing has to offer? Thats it? Is there really no one else with a clean record that they could put forward?
