    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.

      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.

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

          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.
