Jen Psaki: "Could a Trump indictment actually help him politically?"

Manhattan’s district attorney may be on the verge of indicting former President Donald Trump over his alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Remember: No former president in U.S. history has ever been indicted.

And there has been a flurry of analysis suggesting an indictment could actually help his campaign.

But before you freak out about that possibility, let’s consider a few things.

Yes, it’s safe to bet that Trump will try to weaponize this for political gain. We have watched him do that plenty of times before.

We’ve also seen his base stick by him. As Trump famously said, he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and still “wouldn’t lose any voters.”

But he’s never been indicted before. And we’ve already seen some recent cracks in the armor . . .

1. If Bragg's charge turns out to be the misdemeanor charge, I think that would help tfg.

A lot.

[calguy]

5. Which would help us out a lot

I'd rather run against him in 2024 than someone like DeStupid who is every bit as evil but much smarter politically.
Trump still has a good portion of his 30% base, but to every other voter, the shine wore off his armor years ago

[Scrivener7]

6. That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that.

Huh! Now I'll feel better if Bragg gives us a dud. Thank you!

Though the thought of him campaigning again turns my stomach.

[padfun]

7. I agree with you.

One part of me wants for him to be free for the next two years and let him destroy the Repug party.

Another part of me wants for him to go to prison and have a big bubba waiting for him in his cell.

[calguy]

15. All good things come to those who are patient

[Mr.Bill]

21. I don'tn think DeSantis

is as smart politically as many think. This "woke" bullshit is not going anywhere for him and Trump is pounding him in the polls. Actually, I think he is somewhat an idiot.

[calguy]

22. I don't disagree that DeStupid is stupid.

But I think he has, at this point, a better chance at winning than trump, should he be the nominee.

2. The question has to be asked unfortunately. The answer fortunately, no fucking way. EOM

Only a couple of backup charges will not be major felonies.

Throw the Law at him as he threw Shit against the Law

[RAB910]

3. This is the wrong question

The right question- How long will we allow America to be held hostage by Trump and his anti-American MAGA terrorists?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. Lol

[no_hypocrisy]

8. He won't garner a single new vote

from Democrats and Independents.

[Chainfire]

10. You are correct, and the flip side of that record is that he will not lose his blind followers

who have been able to ignore or excise all of his known failings. Gods do not fail.

[LiberalFighter]

18. His followers convicted in prison can't vote.

His followers died from Covid can't vote.
His followers in the upper age bracket many are dead and can't vote.

[LiberalFighter]

19. And he will lose votes from some that are still living. Partly due to Fox lying.

[Emile]

9. Her new show comes on at noon. I like her

but this is not the right question.

[Takket]

11. i belive the answer is "who gives a fuck?"

[Tree Lady]

12. The problem is he talks like a mob boss

Trying to talk to my daughter in her 40's she says he never actually says anything. She thinks he's not guilty unless he spills it out exactly.

Then I told her he had other people and his lawyers do the illegal stuff for him and they are starting to talk against him then she finally got it. And she voted Republican.

To those not paying attention to politics and news like her you have to really slowly dissect things.

[LiberalFighter]

20. Explain to her that just because someone didn't performed the deed themselves.

If they ordered it, provided the methods, or have any criminal involvement they are guilty.

[treestar]

13. he has lost some support already without this

his hardcore base won't move, but I don't think that would help him get back the ones who fell away.

[dembotoz]

14. hope it plays out like aaron rodgers in wisconsin

from we can not live without him

add drama

add drama

add drama

add drama

to good lord just go....good luck new york

when will the faithful trumpers finally get sick of him

[FakeNoose]

16. The "base" doesn't really belong to Chump, because it's Faux Noise's base

Once Faux Noise starts telling them to abandon Chump, they'll do it in a heartbeat.

That's how mindless they really are. That's how craven Faux really is.

[Midnight Writer]

17. It may intensify his support among his cult, but it will not gain him any new voters.
