Democrats torn over Trump conviction one week later

A week after a New York jury found former President Trump guilty of falsifying business records, Democrats are torn over whether the conviction will help President Biden in November.

Trump’s campaign announced a $35 million fundraising haul after the guilty verdict and more than $140 million raised in May. Establishment Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) are coming to his defense, supercharging the GOP support for him.

Biden and his party are trying to use the conviction to rally Democrats and turn voters against Trump. Biden himself tested out calling Trump a convicted felon this week.

"Torn"

I thought maybe some of them were regretting the wholly illegal, amoral, political persecution, kangaroo court trial of their opponent.

Nope. All they care about is whether that sham trial helps or hurts their November chances.

There is no sign of repentance for their sinful destruction of jurisprudence and the Republic

Clearly that’s an admission that it was a sham trial just to influence the election

“I think the prevailing view is it is an extremely close election“

Trump beat them in 2016. He beat them in 2020 with millions more votes. They dragged him thru their lawless kangaroo court. The international situation has deteriorated. The economic situation has deteriorated MARKEDLY and is getting worse. Joe is staggering around just like a dementia case but ol Joe is right in there in what is called a real squeaker. There could be a nuclear exchange and ol Joe would STILL be running a real close one.

Bullshit. Absolute bullshit.

President Trump received $500M in donations soon after the deep state/demonicrat conviction.

They are globalist-secular-humanist-atheists. The concepts of sin, jurisprudence, and republic are completely alien to them. The enemy are not Americans, regardless of what their passports may say.

If “torn” means “dismayed that it didn’t work”, then yes. The predictable barrage of “convicted felon Trump” gloating only exposed the gloaters to public derision. Now what?

Yep, not torn over the perversion of our justice system. Only if it helps or hurts Joe.

Hope it hurts real good.

The Hill is using phony polling to try to gaslight America.
Crime Boss Joey is NOT in a tight race. He is losing bigly and the only way he can re-steal our White House is with the very voter fraud that is melting away because of the huge shift of Blacks, Hispanics, independents and now the 20% that said if the laptop was real they would not have voted for Joey voters.

Well it is and always has been real so when do the msm pollsters talk to those people - never of course.

Fractal which kills rodent phony voter registrations in real time, and massive Republican voter registrations are linked with large numbers of people that never donated to Trump before and the BIG one 50,000 new well trained and highly motivated Republican poll watchers.
If we beat the cheat we can’t lose. We are well on our way to beating the cheat.

This is circulating now...

“The comment was made on May 29, 2024, days [sic] BEFORE President Trump’s guilty verdict was announced, which means he could now be entitled to a mistrial because the jury pool was tainted and compromised,” conservative activist Laura Loomer wrote in a post to X, formerly Twitter, along with a screenshot of Merchan’s letter. “This is further evidence that President Trump didn’t receive a fair trial!”

The criminals worried about what happens if the spot light shines on them? I hope it does.

The big difference between 2020 and 2024 is that Trump isn’t trusting a Romney plant at the RNC to stand by while democrats play the fraud game. Lara Trump is a co-chairperson of the RNC and she is helping to push for more feet on the ground, eyes on the ballots, and getting ballots to their precincts without fraudulent Democrat interference! Oh, and making sure we have honest personnel in every city to COUNT the ballots correctly!

According to one poll, 96% of Democrats believe it was a fair trial and legitimate verdict.

Newsweek reported the latest development but quoted "experts" who said in effect that it is a nothing-burger and won't cause the verdict to be thrown out.

Since there were 5 women on the jury it should not take long to interrogate them about whether any of them told Michael Anderson about their deliberations before the verdict was announced. Of course they could all lie. Merchan can signal to them what answer he wants.

Of course Anderson could have made it all up.
