I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that the only real chance DJT has here is in the Federal appeals courts.Assuming that the trials (Manhattan,DC,Miami and Atlanta occur before the election he'll be convicted in all four. And of course state appeals courts won't reverse anything...so Federal appeals courts will be his only real option.
And by that time the damage,election-wise,will have already been done.
You've gotta give Rat Party Headquarters credit...they're clearly utterly depraved and amoral...but they sure have that lawfare thing mastered.

They called Gotti the Teflon Don until they finally got him. Don’t underestimate a weaponized Justice department.
We are now a banana republic

Good odds with leftist judges and a jury pool filled with Trump haters?

DOJ and the courts decided he was guilty before they decided on the charges.

If the other Republican candidates think this indictment is good for them, they are completely off-base. First, the anger this is stirring up does not equate to Trump's base just moving on to the next guy (or gal) should things go sideways for Trump.
Their only option would be to offer deep support for Trump during these times, which they will not do.
This is already evident in the statement released by DeSantis.
Notice how in the statment, DeSantis called out Hillary and Hunter as the double standard in this case when Biden and Pence are the more relevant cases.

I'm not thinking primaries.IMO DJT has the nomination if he wants it. I'm thinking November.

The RATS are great at judge shopping.Trump needs the best legal representation and so far they have been questionable at best.

The only reason they got Gotti was because Gravanomflipped and they let him walk on over 20 murders for his testimony.

Damage to,what?
I can’t speak for anyone else, but Pres Trump is the only person getting my vote. I don’t care if he’s in Guantanamo

Plan B is voter nullification.

Even if by some miracle DeSantimonious became POTUS-47 does anyone really think he will do anything towards the deep state? DeSanctus is the same warmed over $h!t in a new and improved package. WE ALL KNOW IT.

Now, now, careful, you are typing blasphemy against the sainted one. The Swiss guards will be along shortly to shut you up.

You can speak for me because this is not about Trump it’s about what is right, fair, just and moral.

“Gotti was because Gravanomflipped and they let him walk on over 20 murders for his testimony.”
I think you meant Sammy “The Bull”?
Sammy ended up serving time after that was all over.

I agree 100%
But I’ll say it again, stop electing the incumbent. Stop voting for Graham, thunk, barasso, Ernst, grassley.
I saw grassley the other day on Fox. Good Lord he’s almost as bad as Feinstein.
