I doubt many Republicans (other than Lizard Cheney and Asa Hutchinson, and maybe Romney or Christie) really want Trump to go to prison. No doubt a lot of Democrats do hope that happens.

The Democrats tend to overplay their hand (see Wellstone funeral) but even Biden may realize that actually imprisoning Trump would backfire. I think the Democrats want Trump to be the Republican nominee because (1) they think he will be easy to beat and (2) then the election can all be about saying how awful Trump is while ignoring the disaster that the current administration has been. If they can get a jury to convict Trump of something before the election, that would be helpful to them. But they may figure that a hefty fine plus probation or a suspended sentence would play better with the voters than actually putting a former President in jail over B.S. "crimes."

I agree 💯

Ben Shapiro, who I listen to, said Trump may be the ONLY man Biden could beat. Due to the unreasonable hatred towards him from the left and center. That from 6 years of media and big tech smearing him.
