1. NEW: Even though jury selection has just begun, defeatism is already infecting the coverage of Trump’s trial. No matter the verdict, Trump will suffer no meaningful political damage. I could not disagree more. Trump’s trial is a huge political problem for him. messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps-t…
2. The general tone of 2024 political coverage is that everything is bad news for Biden and nothing hurts Trump. This is asinine. Trump needs to hold his 2020 voters and persuade some new ones to win. A criminal conviction does not help matters. messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps-t…
3. Exit polls show that 30% of GOP primary voters won't view Trump as fit for the presidency even if he is convicted. Most of them will come home, but if 3-5% of Trump voters abandon him, it's game over. messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps-t…
4. Falsifying business records to cover hush money payments may seems like small potatoes compared to a violent insurrection, but 58% of voters in the @nytimes poll see it as a serious crime messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps-t…
@danpfeiffer … or if 30% of his voters abandon him he won’t just lose he’ll lose ‘bigly’
@danpfeiffer He barely won in '16 because he was more "change" than Hillary. This time around, how does he fool the undecideds with his record of failure?
@danpfeiffer Do you mean exit polls show that 30% of GOP voters won't view Trump as fit for the presidency "if" he is convicted? (As opposed to "even if he is convicted?") Not nitpicking. Your point's important, but the word "even" is confusing. It seems to have been left in after a revision.
@danpfeiffer I agree! And who says, “You know I was on the fence about that Trump guy, but his recent actions have really won me over!”
@danpfeiffer 20% of Texas republicans voted for Haley. They won't "come home". It is over. But, Red States will refuse to certify the vote, claiming massive fraud, to deny Biden 270. Legal suits will pile up in SCOTUS late November, and its 2000 drama on repeat. My take...
