The Trump supporters are completely out of touch with how Americans view crime. The guy got convicted of 34 felonies. This wasn't a plea deal, it didn't get deadlocked, he's guilty. He's a criminal. People don't look at convictions and say, "well, this is similar to the impeachment 4 years ago . . ." No. They don't care if it's about hush money. They don't care if it's in New York. They understand guilty and they understand not guilty. That's all they know. This is really bad for Trump, and it's not going away.
Yeah, I'm not saying Biden's gonna get a 10pt shift here, but people are being very delusional about this. Trump is now a convicted felon. Of not just a few counts, but *34* - that is history making and unprecedented, and for people who try and tout "law and order" all the time (and how much of a "strong" message it is), being a convicted felon is NOT something that will help him. It's wild how people are deluding themselves into thinking this won't matter.
Do people really think swing voters are going to be comfortable now with voting for a convicted felon, even if they're upset about gas prices or food prices or whatever?
