trump can't win re-election without drawing support from non-committed voters or without a depressed dem turnout. indicting trump is not going to make him more popular with non-committed voters. it will only energize his core base which, again, is well less than half the country.

strongarmed Anthony Kennedy into retiring, setting up a conservative SC takeover we may never dig our way out of
Did he? I thought Kennedy willingly offered Trump his counsel, i.e. nominate Barf.

Such a silly notion that we should not charge a criminal with crimes because
a. There are worse criminals than him
or
b. These aren't the worst crimes he has done
c. Do we want other people who we like more, but have had the same job as him, to also get charged with crimes?
Because
a. Yeah, and?
b. Yeah, so?
c. Sure, why not?
Don't want to get charged with crimes? Don't do crimes!

Also I guarantee Trump applied some heavy mafia style leverage against Kennedy- he needed that SC justice, that was his crowning moment, that’s what gave the evangelicals the fig leaf they needed to come fully to heel.

CNN — Sixty percent of Americans approve of the indictment of former President Donald Trump, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS following the news that a New York grand jury voted to charge him in connection with hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. About three-quarters of Americans say politics played at least some role in the decision to indict Trump, including 52% who said it played a major role.
Independents largely line up in support of the indictment – 62% approve of it and 38% disapprove. Democrats are near universal in their support for the indictment (94% approve, including 71% who strongly approve of the indictment), with Republicans less unified in opposition (79% disapprove, with 54% strongly disapproving).
While views on the indictment are split along party lines, the poll finds that majorities across major demographic divides all approve of the decision to indict the former president. That includes gender (62% of women, 58% of men), racial and ethnic groups (82% of Black adults, 71% of Hispanic adults, 51% of White adults), generational lines (69% under age 35; 62% age 35-49; 53% age 50-64; 54% 65 or older) and educational levels (68% with college degrees, 56% with some college or less).

Axios -- Former President Trump has raised more than $5 million since news of his indictment broke late Thursday — over $4 million in the first 24 hours and over $1 million in the second 24 hours, a Trump official told Axios on Saturday night.
Why it matters: The donation gusher validates the view of most top Republicans that the expected indictment from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, at least in the short term, will help Trump's effort to build a formidable lead for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
By the numbers: In announcing the initial $4 million haul, Trump's campaign noted that over 25% of the donations came from first-time donors to him.
What they're saying: The campaign tells Axios that 16,000+ volunteers signed up on his website in 24 hours.
