    The cynic in me sees this as a move to ensure Trump get sympathy and momentum with the base and is the candidate running in 2024. This was a winning strategy for Dems last in 2022 and it will probably be a winning strategy again. But it makes the country worse.

      The January 6th stuff, classified documents, and voter fraud case in Georgia is even worse for him and much more likely to stick and derail him. Those indictments are coming soon. The special prosecutor is winning every ruling and getting damning grand jury testimony from everyone who was close to Trump. It's progressing a lot faster than almost anyone would have thought.

      Setting the precedent that insane presidents can do anything they want, even trying to illegally overturn an election, including through violence, and totally getting away with it legally, makes the country worse. Unfortunate that we've gotten here, but he crossed so many dangerous lines that we just can't have it and hope to always remain free. Enough is enough.

        This will clinch the nomination for him. But no way in hell he wins the general.

          Especially if MAGA nutjobs get violent. That won't go over well with anyone independent or moderate.

            Empty, but dangerous, posturing. Trump is likely to surrender to the DA, but even if he doesn’t, DeSantis doesn’t have the power to block extradition. The Constitution and federal statutes compel it. But giving the mob false hope can be dangerous, as we learned on Jan 6.


            DeSantis is such a tool bag.

            A little sprinkle of antisemitism and a wink at his contempt for the rule of law.

            This is the next guy up?

                    Ted Cruz weighs in.

                    It was 2016, but he is a man of principle so I am sure he feels this way today.

                      Yeah, good point. His worshippers aren't going to give up their devotion. I'm Just saying what is coming for him from the other cases is even worse for him. I also don't think he can win a general election.

                      But even with this NY case the indictment has not been unsealed yet. We'll see but I am guessing it will contain more than just charges related to Stormy Daniels or campaign finance. There could be lots of other tax evasion and fraud type stuff in there as well.

                        "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                            Supposedly there are 2,000 counts in the indictment.
