Best case scenario: Trump being indicted really rallies his base in the primaries, because they assume "This is just political persecution because the Dems hate him!" and then in the general election, enough rational people turn out to ensure we don't have a criminal for a president. Worst case scenario: Keep the first clause, but then Dem voters either get complacent because Trump is a criminal, or they find some reason to not be enthusiastic about the party, and Trump wins on the cultlike fanaticism of the GOP. --- Touch fuzzy.

From the left I think it's just the next form of doom and gloom after "he'll never be indicted." FWIW, I can very much believe it helps him in the GOP primary.

I dunno, I'm not really on board with the argument "using slurs isn't okay but using derivatives of slurs is fine". This sounds like something that doesn't merit a firing but clearly does merit a warning, and apparently she's been warned before.

I think this increases Trump's chances of being reelected in 2024. Drastically, since I had his chances at close to 0 before this, so any increase multiplies his chances by a lot. If Trump is acquitted after going through a trial of the century that will make the OJ Simpson trial look small, a lot of people are going to think he must have been innocent of all crimes, not just this one. It's really scary because who knows what he would attempt in his second term without the constraint of needing to remain popular for another election and with his belief in his invincibility confirmed. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
