    Even thought this could – and should cost the GOP general election votes it won’t cost them primary votes and they know it. No matter how stunned or ticked they are in private. It’s why the senate has been silent.

    It’s also why the House Freedom Caucus is likely to triple down on attacking the President as a distraction. And relitigating the Hillary email kerfuffle.

    I remain convinced that, as a practical matter, the more trials that are ongoing g next year the harder it will be for him to campaign. Plus he’s not prone to keeping his mouth shut, and it’s easy to argue after January 6th that any threats he issues from the campaign stage amount to jury tampering. Which means he will have some thought choices to make. I wish his campaign staff luck with that.Report

      He’ll assume the laws don’t apply to him and double down on running his mouth. He’ll keep doing that until he’s behind bars. He’ll only stop then if the legal system makes him.Report
