In the wake of his 17-year jail sentence, Joseph Bigg said: “Oh, I know he’ll pardon. I believe that with all my heart.”

    I remember being one of the fools who thought he wouldn’t stand a chance the first time around.

    This time around I’m praying and I’m not even religious.

    I live in red country. I hear them every day. Teachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, police officers, farmers, constructions workers, welders, even dirt poor disabled welfare recipients. They all say, “I can’t wait until Trump gets back in and fixes this mess.”

    The media they consume all says he’s innocent. The podcasts they listen to all cheer for the day his political opponents are jailed.

    Even with the recording where he pressured officials to find more votes. Even with all of the charges. Even with the republicans who come out and talk about his crimes.

    To them it’s all political theater from the left. It’s all a big conspiracy to take down the greatest man who ever lived.

    I’ve heard the words, “poor old Trump. It’s a shame what they’re putting him through, and he just keeps going because he loves America.”

    The threat is real. Please please please, don’t think for a second he can’t win.

      I remember telling people it’s possible and having a whole bunch of online folk tell me how Stephen Wang from Princeton said there was a 98% chance that Democrats would win.

      Nate Silver went from being congratulated for his predictions to getting criticized for mentioning that there were correlated errors which could easily result in a Republican president. It was interesting because Silver wasn’t even predicting a Republican victory just a 40% chance it could happen.

      Please stop spreading misinformation. Donald Trump cannot win. The 14th amendment prohibits it.

        You are wrong and certain, which makes you dangerous. Unless convicted of these crimes, nothing is stopping him. Basically you are setting the bar so anyone can yell sedition in a crowded theater, and now no one there can be president.

          No, you are absolutely wrong. Trump HAS charges against him on both state and federal levels.

          The 14th amendment places no emphasis on a judge finding one guilty. Therefore yes; it can be that broad. We can show he did something; Congress, DoJ and a State would not be investigating otherwise.
