The E Jean Carroll case has to hit Trump hard with his election campaign.

And give more people thought about supporting him. One by one. I think this is major.

He might have difficulty doing that unless willing to use property.

A drop in the bucket of the 2 billion Jarod would never have gotten without Trump appointing him to save the middle east.

My thought was that the minimum in punitive should have been a hundred million. Even a quarter billion wouldn't have been out of the question.

Still, it's a victory for Ms. Carroll, and in fact a victory for rape survivors in general.

The strong stubborn ones will stick with him no matter what. There are about 35% within the Republican Party that fit that mode. Don't forget that there are Independents that also are not as stubborn. There might be a few. But fewer then the 35%.

No MAGAT is getting “peeled off” by a defamation case. Get real. And your numbers are likely wildly off base anyway.

1. He’s real pissed off.

2. Many are laughing at him.

That’s enough for me. No need to fantasize about some kind of extrapolation that won’t happen.

You obviously have not been involved in election campaigns.

It is the same in Congress. Not everyone in the Republican Party is on the same page with everything. Just like the Democratic congressional members.

I hope CNN is not smiling and smirking and both sidering it the way they do with most of Cheato's court cases. I do think corporate media coverage is a big influence on public opinion.
