MAGA Confused: Why do they keep indicting Trump if it makes him more popular?

He goes up in the polls everytime he is indicted.

It shows that his supporters are more like a cult than a political Party. A "normal" Party would not support someone who has been indicted numerous times.

They think: How stupid are the Democrats? Why should the stupid rule the world?

But, their Leader might be indicted again this week, perhaps even today? Will he go up in the polls again?

Have the Republicans created a Frankenstein?

We've already seen how polls can be grossly incorrect, so I choose to ignore all the polling numbers. I think it's the media who regurgitates whatever poll they want that might keep their viewers watching and the horse race going for months on end.

They believe he will win every trial. Delusional is the word.

the Magat presidential race is over. Trump even beats DeSantis in Florida.

The Republicans, now Magats, are little Frankensteins.

Even if that happened, magas would be out trashing a little boy's reputation


We’ve got to get past the notion that anything they say is sincere.

There’s a reason why tfg’s first official act was to get his followers all on the same page regarding crowd sizes.

And it wasn’t to impress anybody about his sincerity.

10. I am not saying that Trump will beat President Biden

I am saying that Trump will be the Magat nominee.

I absolutely agree with you that Trump trials will erode his voters which is one reason that I have been screaming about how time matters in prosecuting Trump. If a Trump trial happens before the election it will show what a traitor Trump is. The 20% hard core Trump Magats will never leave him.

Hoping that Jack Smith can get the J6 trial scheduled before the election, judge Cannon cannot be trusted to be impartial. Then we still have Fani Willis. We need a trial or 2.

12. They will attempt to get Fani Willis' case moved to the Federal court, in my opinion.

If he is indicted for seditious conspiracy, he will probably win in a landslide?

But they seldom mention that he is only running for office to escape justice.
