Court Cantrell does not complySomebody said that Trump isn't being put on trial in the middle of an election year.
Instead, Trump decided to run for president in the midst of his many criminal trials.
That's an important rephrasing that desperately needs airtime and headspace.
Cluster Fcku@courtcan Part of it is that half the country wants him president in the midst of his numerous lawsuits. Half the country.
Ariaflame@clusterfcku @courtcan No, half the country didn't vote for him last time. Less than half of the people that *voted* voted for him last time. He has not gotten more popular.
@ariaflame @courtcan Indeed. In fact he is becoming less popular over time, and I don't disagree with what you wrote. But the fact that people (not a shot at you) quibble over how ,"half" that "half" is, confirms the reality that, practically speaking, every other American with a voice likes him. He is not on the "under 10%" support where I would expect to find far right, or far left. He is right there doing what populists do well.
