...not knowing it would drive millions away and make their party more reviled than it already is (if that's possible).
The Democrats wet dream of seeing Trump handcuffed and jailed will backfire and without question make Trump a martyr. The jailing of a political opponent on phony charges no different than in Venezuela, Cuba or banana republic dictatorships will be so egregious that even the RINOs will be forced to condemn it. I think many moderate voters and many of the old time blue collar Democrats will have no stomach for such a blatant attempt to fix the presidial election. This could mean a landslide vote for Trump.
