I’ve been disappointed each and every time something gets delayed, but at this point I think I’m willing to acknowledge that it is perhaps best for everyone is Trump is sentenced after the election.
If he were to go to jail now you’d never hear the end of it. As though the US was stolen by the radical left, imprisoning political opponents et cetera. Obviously that’s not a narrative based in reality, but it would be the prevailing narrative amongst conservatives none the less.
The republicans would fall inline behind someone equally repulsive, if just a tiny bit more electable.
The best way forward for everyone is for him to lose convincingly in November, and then send his ass to proper jail with no twitter or diapers et cetera.
On a prison diet with no prospects he will become frail and irrelevant in a matter of weeks. Even his own children wouldn’t bother to visit because jail is icky and their bread is already buttered really. It’s the outcome he deserves and I would very much like to see it.
This is the only way the republican party would dial back the weirdness.
