    I’ve seen lots of speculation that Trumbo is trying to get himself thrown in jail for the publicity of it all. It would result in a huge fundraising boost and conservative outrage, even if just for a short while, and no one wants to give him the satisfaction.

      Conservatives generate outrage at anything and they donate to him regardless.

      This is a lame excuse for why they won’t lock his arse up.

        His fundraising is going historically terrible right now.

          I’d be curious if anyone is doing an accounting of the total take though. I get that his campaign isn’t raising as much money, but how many sneakers did they sell? I’m assuming they sold a few bibles and I’d assume he has his fingers in the 2 billion Kushner took for “investments.”

            You don’t think he’s spending any of that on his campaign or legal fees, do you? That’s his money.

      Call his fucking bluff.

      In jail, no phone, no internet, no interviews. The only way he’d get to talk to the public is though his lawyer, who is accountable to tell the truth when discussing details of the case.

      Fuck that. His whining gets him money already, might as well actually stick his ass behind bars.

      Unsure that would happen… Lots of undecided out there who care about the rule of law and have said in polls if he was convicted they would not vote for him. I think it’s delusion and wishful thinking on his part

        Doubt.

        have said in polls if he was convicted they would not vote for him

        Why would you believe a group of people that are insane enough to still be “undecided” on Trump. Don’t be a sucker.

          I keep saying it, those ‘undecided’ and ‘middle of the road’ people are actually just embarrassed conservatives. They don’t wanna be seen as Trumpers while still voting for him.

          You think everyone cares and pays attention to politics? I can introduce you to hundreds of people that I know of who don’t even know who is running

            Then how do they suddenly have an opinion that’s based on the results of his trial? How do they even know its happening? How will they find out the verdict?

              Because the trial and the result is all over the news and will be historic if he is found guilty. That is different than politics, that is headline news.

                So they somehow missed 4 years of Trump dominating the news, yet they’re dialed into the trial?

                Not buying it.
