Will Trump Be Charged For "Hush $" Payment?

[Coal Dragger]

Yeah this isn’t exactly the case that would break the system. Everyone KNOWS it’s a political stunt by a Soros DA, so there’s nothing to see here.

Sure, but until such time as badly needed reforms are made to prosecutorial immunity the situation will be that a valid arrest warrant will be issued. Assuming the idiots in New York hand down an indictment, and it’s not tossed out preemptively by a judge.

I give it a solid 95% chance the Cheeto gets charged band convicted, because the vast majority of voters in New York are mentally retarded. It will take a few years for the conviction to be overturned on appeal.

If Desantis runs and gets the nomination, as of now i would vote for him as well. My point is D had a opportunity to be a tough as nails leader and he punted. Dissapointing.
If you look at the polls Trump is way ahead of Desantis i dont believe he can catch Trump.

I think we learned not long ago, polls don't mean chit anymore. One was POTUS and highly visible, the other a first term gov of a state, so at this juncture, no surprise Trump leading Desantis. Desantis is very popular outside of FL in terms of being a Gov, he's not nearly as well known yet as Trump. A debate between Desantis and Trump would be interesting to be sure. I think Trump getting the nomination may very possibly lead to a GOP loss, and I'd assume that's not what we want.

Personally, I think there's a lot independents (the fastest growing political "party"), Dems tired of the woke BS and Brandon, those on the fence, various POC, maybe even some women voters, who would vote for someone not viewed (accurately or not...) as being so divisive as Trump is from the GOP. I can think of no one better then Desantis in that respect. He's got the creds, very popular in FL, can debate anyone, keep the more conservative voters who'd vote for Trump anyway voting.

The Dems/left know Desantis is their major worry and have already begun trying to paint him an everything-phobe who hates puppies, etc. The Gov of CA has already taken out anti Desantis commercials in FL! I was like "WTF?" when I saw Newsome on my TV in FL:

Yeah, I don't think we should allow that to happen. Enough is enough with the lawfare. It was bad enough with the frivolous civil suits, but upcharging what is maybe a misdemeanor beyond the statute of limitations at worst to a felony, just to prevent someone from running for political office? That's over the line. Bragg needs to be instructed to EABOD, officially.

EABOD is too good for him, you forgot the part about choking out on the turd chaser.

Damn dude, you’re not very well versed on this he law. States generally respect each other’s requests for extradition when there is a valid arrest warrant.

Do you want that to end? Go back to the days where you could have people committing crimes and just escape over state lines. That sounds good to you just to protect an undisciplined loud mouth who has largely exposed himself to stupidity because he’s stupid?

F them.

Do you really think that a blue state will hand over someone that breaks a red state anti-abortion law by providing pills or another violation?

Fools keep F*****G around, and they will end up on the other side of their “No justice, no peace.” mantra. Let it work it ways through the courts to be fixed? Yeaaaa, no.

Perfect time to turn the tables on them and say that you aren’t turning him over for a political and illegal prosecution based on the fact that a state had a moral obligation not to hand over escaped slaves, even if there was legal reason to.

They have made a mockery out of the legal and justice system. Now I’m not going to start a ruckus, but sure won’t go out of my way to help stop it. Wake me up after the 51st city burns during a mostly peaceful pro-Trump riot.

Could be, but I believe it more likely that Trump losing the primary would cement a GOP loss. I think there's too many on the right who would sit out the general election if Trump wasn't on the ballot.

I agree about putting too much faith in polling, and it's so early to be anything but meaningless at this point. That said, I doubt this is the type headline that DeSantis wants to read at any time.

DeSantis hits Republican poll low as Trump tightens grip on primary

The Morning Consult survey shows the former president has 54% support among likely primary voters and DeSantis has 26%, tying his lowest score since the poll began in December.

Trump warns of ‘potential death and destruction’ if he’s indicted

He's moved into the "terroristic threats" part of the grieving process...

If they prefer to have Mumbles again vs Desantis, then F them and diseased horse they rode in on. They're no better then loons on the left at that point. Desantis is no RINO, and even if he was, 100X better then Mumbles. "We are taking our toys and go home cuz the orange gut didn't get picked" is lower than whale poo at that juncture.

I don't think it's about preferring a democrat in the Oval office, but rather believing their vote doesn't matter because of unabated illegality, cheating and stealing of elections. If (endless ifs here) Trump were to run and lose in the primary, I think it would serve to further that belief and impact turnout. And just because Trump didn't win the GOP nomination doesn't mean DeSantis would. We'll see... a lot can happen between now and then.

Then it would be % that does not vote because their guy didn't make it, vs the % of people who will vote because because it's not Trump.
