“it has no chance of acquitting him in a way that will strengthen faith in the country’s institutions.”
I disagree with that and also think that the analysis is shallow because it doesn’t recognize the influence of proven facts.
If voters perceive, based on evidence they see, that Trump got a bad rap then they will support Trump’s reelection by a wide margin, and that will weaken the proposition that we are a divided nation and strengthen faith in the country’s institutions.
You are dreaming.
