It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

Lol pick a candidate that is likely going to be in prison come election time! Geniuses!
Most of the people I know who plan to vote for him think of that as a good thing. It's the whole "drain the swamp" thing that he's been rallying people behind for years; they think bad actors in the government are trying to hold Trump down, and him being in jail is just another attempt to do that - from their perspective, electing him even while he's imprisoned would be a big "fuck you" to those bad actors.
It's sad that they can't see that Trump himself is the bad actor, but to most of them, Trump is their last hope to hold on to their beloved world of racism and misogyny, free of any "woke bullshit." They'll overlook anything he says or does at this point, since they don't see any other way forward than through Trump.
I just don't understand the appeal. Forget all of the gross shit he's done over the years, the terrible and fraudulent business he's conducted, he's just gross period. Like standing there, sounding like a rambling lunatic, not finishing sentences, $10 spray tan, and ill fitting suit. How does that track as "wow what an amazing businessman!"
Yeah right. If he wins, he's free. Shame on the justice department for not completing a single trial in FOUR FUCKING YEARS. Have they even started any of them? No way any of them are wrapped up before the election. The wheels of justice turn slowly. Yeah, yadda yadda yadda. They're barely turning at all against this fat fucking loser.
His lawyers have run out pretty much every option to delay trials, although several judges have seemed pretty damn complicit as well. I get wanting to make sure the case is as airtight as possible, but...the people they're worried about pissing off with a case that isn't entirely formed, were just going to be pissed off anyway.
Judge Cannon seems pretty ok to impede any progress she possibly can.
There is almost no chance they are gonna lock him up. He could openly murder someone with his own hands, on stage, and he would still be able to run in the elections.
Haven’t you heard? He’s the second coming of Christ and his cross is the US legal system.
I really wish I was kidding.

After decades of headlines like the one you just posted absolutely nothing has happened.
Trump is bulletproof and he knows it, and now, he doesn't have to lie about how shitty his opponent in the race is.
I heard that mentioned on MSNBC, 30% of the people who caucused for him say that they would not vote for him if he was convicted.
30% of the people who caucused for him are liars
You fucking jinxed it.
Trying to prosecute him for his real crimes is honestly damaging the election chances of Biden, lots of voters with a vicarious persecution complex through Trump.
