For eight years - Pundits have making the same mistake over and over and over and over again. They've been using Betteridge's Law of Headlines when they are talking about Trump. And for a question like "Could this spell trouble for Trump?" - the answer is always "no".

The current lib hope is "Could a criminal conviction impact Trump's support?" I have to say that my answer isn't a solid "no" for this overly simplistic question. Sure, his polling numbers might drop for a couple weeks or whatever. But then his numbers will go up again. They always do.

Trump would win the GOP nomination from death row. By a landslide.

Please, God, even though I don't believe in you at all if that happens - I promise that I will consider becoming an observant Jew. Don't quote me but I might even keep kosher too. What can I say, God? That would be beyond fucking awesome and blessings be upo—. Oops, but you know the thing.
