The Alvin Bragg case has gotten grander at trial, but also more ridiculous.
The Manhattan DA has a meaningless business-records misdemeanor wrapped within a theory about an alleged Trump conspiracy to defraud the voters by denying them disparaging information before the election and obscuring, after the fact, the payments that were used to do so.
Bragg is accusing Trump, in effect, of stealing the election.
He, thus, joins all the other progressives who have denied the legitimacy of Trump’s 2016 election, although he finds the culprit not in Russia (at least not in this case) but in the shady maneuverings around Stormy Daniels.
If this is the standard by which we judge elections, we need to go back and conclude that Bill Clinton wasn’t elected legitimately in 1992, either. The Arkansas governor’s political operation was, in part, an elaborate conspiracy to keep women who alleged to have had affairs with Clinton quiet. Hillary Clinton was an active participant in the schemes. And so, by Bragg’s logic, this Democratic power couple — dominant in the party for a decade or more and still honored today — comprises election thieves.

It depends upon what the meaning of the word “is” is.
Billy Jeff is a Demonrat, and they are exempt from all standards.
works for me.
Bill Clinton “stole” the election thanks to many FReepers.
You know what I mean.
paging Betsy Wright...need help on bimbo eruption fund...
I think Ross Perot’s getting even with GHWB and taking 17% of the vote put Clinton in the WH. Stolen? Uh, as bad as Billy Boy Clinton is/was with his wandering member, that may have had some impact if it, pardon the expression, was exposed, but not as bad as Perot’s impact. IMHO.
That, along with Ross Perot getting 19% of the popular vote.
And James Comey should be charged with influencing the ‘16 election. ‘No reasonable prosecutor...”
I think there were many women who voted for Clinton over Perot and Dole.
Bingo
Bush I had the highest approval rating - past or present - of any US president.
A year later - he lost reelection.
Go figure.
He didnt steal it, Ross Perot gave it to him... IIRCC...
He would have lost but the vote was split allowing him to walk away with a otherwise unimpressive win.
There’s plenty of blame to be placed upon the George Herbert Walker Bush reelection campaign.
It was one of the laziest campaigns of all time. Bush behaved as if he was entitled to a second term and it was beneath his aristocratic dignity to conduct a campaign at all. He did not hit the trail until it was abundantly clear that he was behind in the polls.
Worst candidate since Herbert C. Hoover in 1932. Bush 41 lost a winnable contest.
The indictment of Casper Weinberger three days before the election, on a charge that was quietly dropped after Clinton won. Lawfare by Democrats is not new. It’s getting more refined.
I think his son had a higher approval after 9/11
