Oh, I agree… the prosecution’s star witness just pooped the bed. 
 
The problem is this. OJ Simpson was a Heisman Trophy winner from USC, and the Avis commercials, Naked Gun movies, and every Sunday on the sidelines at NFL games. A very likable guy…. The glove gave the jurors the opportunity to do what they wanted-free the Juice. 
 
On the other hand, NYC jurors HATE Trump, as evidenced by the previous trial (although that one was decided by a judge) in which trump got hammered.  I’ve got a bad feeling that these jurors won’t care about whether not Cohen lied, but be more concerned with the fact that “being fed to the lions” isn’t within the range of punishment that they can impose. 
 
I’m not saying it’s right or that I agree, it’s just what I expect.  

Even if he is convicted of every count, he won't go to jail (imagine if they do try to put him in jail with the no bail program they have in place even letting violent offenders go) - and he is 100% on the ballot. He will appeal and this will be last trial before election.

Yes, but no… the Dems are no doubt using the court system, but not like you think. They WANTED Trump in the race.  Every time they indicted him, more Rs got behind him. They are well aware that ANY  Republican candidate would walk right over Biden… except Trump. This hasn’t been about destroying Trump, it’s about solidifying his support, eventual nomination, and inevitable defeat in November. 
 
FWIW, it also strengthens the resolve of the “anybody but Trump” voters to vote democrat.  

Yeah... He's probably their own Dade Phelan.  Not "MIGA" enough for the masses.  
 
Make Iran Great Again.

This administration probably did.

Yeah… I was on a jury for a custody modification where the dad was accused of being inappropriate with the child by mom. Law enforcement wasn’t involved. The first thing one of the jurors said when we began deliberating was “I’m sorry… but they (the dad’s counsel) didn’t prove that he didn’t do it.”  Were you even listening to the instructions?

SEAL team did their job.

All VERY true. And it's both sides drinking the Kool-Aid. But I'll say it once again, I'll vote Trump over Biden everyday of the week and twice on Sundays...wait, did I just employ a democrat strategy?

And you continue to blame the other side for not bowing to the situation that your side created.  Can't believe those idiots won't vote for the guy we knew they wouldn't vote for but insisted on nominating anyway.  How dumb are they???

There is zero chance R's get house, senate and Trump win... what have they done since midterms other than argue over speaker?

But not on the republican voters to provide an electable option in the primary.  It's always the centrists and lefties who are the dumb ones.  
Tell you what, I'm going to open up a fine dining restaurant in Caney Head.  Really good, really expensive food.  And when it fails, I'm going to blame the locals for being unsophisticated.  After all, this is really good food.  Then I'm going to wait a couple of years, reopen in the same place as the same restaurant, serving the same expensive food, and blame the locals when it fails again.  Then when someone with a shred of common sense suggests I start serving hamburgers and chicken fried steak, I'm going to refuse to serve food that would be successful in that area, instead standing firm with my menu and spending my time complaining about how stupid and poor the locals are after my restaurant fails for a second time.
 
As an aside: Trump can be a turd sandwich and also have been a good president (i'd say pretty decent, but close enough).  But when the turd sandwich part outweighs the good or decent president part for a majority of the country it becomes a major issue.  It cost him the election 4 years ago, and it's a bigger problem today.  The only reason he even has a shot is because Biden may be the worst president in history.  But hey, let's not change anything, remain unappealing to over half of the country, and blame everyone else if we don't win!

back to the old "the voters are stupid if they don't decide our turd sandwich is better than their turd sandwich" argument.  first and foremost it's the party's responsibility to put out electable candidates (both failed).  Then the party line voters are responsible for picking an electable option in the primaries for the general election (both failed again).  And finally, once you get to the general election, it's the entire country's responsibility to pick the best option for the job.  85-90% of the country's vote is decided before a candidate is ever named (and everyone commenting in this thread falls in this category).  And to be completely honest, the left has done a better job of pandering to those 10-15% who actually decide the presidency, they're just screwed here because they have the sitting president and he wants to run again.  Lucky for them the right are throwing the same guy at him that lost the last time, and nobody likes him any more than they did 4 years ago.  If we'd picked literally ANYBODY besides Trump in the primary it would be a cakewalk.  As it is, it'll be a tight race likely coming down to tenths of percentages in a handful of states to decide things.  But hey, instead of doing what's necessary to win elections, let's just insist on doing the same thing that didn't work before, demanding the other side completely adjust their politics without any concessions, and then blame them for being stupid when they don't agree to our terms and just vote in their own not very good candidate.

I can hear folks using Google as we speak, I've seen that one enough times to actually remember the name.

Squints like Travis  Bickel: “Are you talkin’ to ME?”

Bud, I know a lot of your comments are used just to get a rise or to be funny - to instigate a reaction, but you're starting to sound like post sanity Robert De Niro. Lol.

Someone call a shrink quick….

Exactly... the only reason he's not still the President is because Mike Pence wouldn't throw up the rightful electors and instead recognize the fake, replacement electors.  I mean, at least until they had time to find the real proof of election fraud, lol.
 
It's 100000000% going to be somebody who is Trump first, Trump second, and Trump third... No regard for country, God, party, family or any other thing except Trump.  The people who might drum up some votes for Trump would be the ones who are an alternative to Trump.  But Trump wants a clone. 
 
I completely expect it to be Marjorie Taylor Greene, or maybe the Pillow Man.

🤣🤣🤣
 Right on schedule!!

If they would just count merch sales instead of votes, Trump might actually win.
The fact that Trump's supporters really, REALLY like him doesn't offset the fact that many, many more people hate him and will vote for anybody but Trump.  
 
Biden rolls in '24.

You’d better not let them hear you say that.

A whack job Trump Supporter/Sheriff from Hastings (Barry County) Michigan-I had to check, there really is such a place. Has been trying for years to push the election fraud lies. 
 
So you basically have a Sheriff of a county that’s roughly the size of Hardin County… a county which was dominated by Trump in ‘16 and ‘20, conduct an investigation across county, state and international borders… investigating a “crime” (election fraud) over which he has no authority to investigate and no jurisdiction to make an arrest finally “proving” to morons that what they really wanted to have happen actually occurred. But you believe that the ace detective work by this LEO who just happens to be one of trump’s biggest supporters made the discovery that will prove once and for all that trump got cheated? lol. 
 
It’s still called manufacturing the lie. Some goofball says it, some whack job “media source” tweets about it, then simpletons spread it around as truth. 
 
He’s basically Michael Moore from opposite world with a badge and you’re lapping up whatever he’s serving.  

I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question. 
 
Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID. 
It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!”
Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours. 
 
What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals. 
 
Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more!
Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!
 
Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more! 
 
It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”
 
 

There is undeniable irony and hypocrisy in the fact that Trump has the unwavering support of conservative republicans across the country who've pushed legislation that makes it much more difficult to access her on pornhub.
