I know that there is no doubt who will win it in November.
I was using the law enforcement officers flanking him as evidence of how much of a powder keg this election will be if it doesn’t go Trump’s way.
For them to so openly stand alongside him, given all he has done - including inciting a riot that caused a the deaths of their fellow professionals - just says to me that all bets are off with regards to how many will react to a Trump loss.

Yes but the Democratic Party has changed considerably over the centuries (as have the Republicans, obviously). So Mississippi used to vote for them because they were pro-slavery, and essentially stopped as soon as the Democrats ceased opposing Civil Rights.Quote:

If he goes to prison do the secret service men assigned to guard him as ex president have to go with him?
Just listened to the bloated crooks deranged rant, not once does he even touch on the unanimous view of the 12 jurors, some of whom his legal team helped select. He has had due process and is now hoping to bully his way out of it

You can run for president from jail, nothing in the law to stop it, the only real rules are you have to be a minimum of 35 and a US CitizenQuote:

Importantly though polling has suggested that any conviction in this case might result in a 2-4% swing away from him…which considering how remarkably (in more ways than one!) tight the race is, that might prove crucial.
God help the US when he doesn’t win the presidential vote - not sure his supporters will stand for him being “robbed” a second time.Quote:

It just shows how divided the US is and down the conspiracy rabbit hole
The least worse candidate will win in the US, it's a sad indication of how ****ed-up their electorate system is.Quote:

It often gets lost what he’s actually been convicted of by a jury of his peers.
He took campaign money, to pay off a porn star that he was ****ging so she wouldn’t go public. That exposure would have harmed his chances of becoming president in the first place.
How evangelical Christians can stand behind him with a straight face.

As a convicted criminal there are a number of countries that he can no longer visit, how could a president carry out his duties?
He will just put the barriers up (no pun intended) and make his next term even more inward looking, all whilst claiming it's to make america great again-like his last term.Quote:

Trump is Mana from Heaven for Putin. What’s worrying is that half of America are siding with Putin and want to cut of assistance to Ukraine.
If Trump wins, Ukraine falls, simple as that.

He certainly has but his age and health obviously deteriorating will worry some voters. If I was American then I'd be voting Biden based on he's a much better choice than Trump, but I refuse to believe that either are the best candidates from their respective parties for the job.Quote:

On a side note it was quite a shock to hear that some of the jury had been ‘literally crucified’…no wonder Trump is worried. If that’s what the Judge did to the jury you have to wonder what sentence he’ll give to the guilty party!

A few Dem representatives openly saying he has to go now, they shouldn't have been in this situation. Not much time for a new candidate to build momentum but I think we will see movement this week
Can they replace Biden now as the nominated candidate or is it too late. Surely someone somewhere has to step in?
He needs to step aside himself as he's already got 99% of the votes to be nominated again, they can't go against thatQuote:
