I just wonder how many magas have realized Trump's tactics are just the smoke screen of a guilty criminal.

Look at what he's doing. Delay, delay, delay. Nuisance motions. Extreme (to the nth degree) political rhetoric, especially about his political opponents. Maneuvering to get his daughter as co-chair of the RNC so they can pay his legal bills.

He couldn't make his guilt more Mr. Obvious.

5. Exactly. Not only do they not care, it improves his standing in their eyes.

You're assuming, that they care about any of that! They only care about making this country into a white, Christian theocracy...in other words the American version of a Nazi/Taliban combination!

I do suspect, though, that some of them have had enough. If the reports of his underperformance in the primaries are true, it does signify some of them are listening to what's happening. The question, of course, is how many.

4. If I was a Repugh, I'd be pissed about getting the Party to pay his legal bills.

10. Probably a few, but not enough to make a difference...a few thousand nationwide.

As a group, the MAGA's are a lost cause.
The future of our Democratic Republic lies in the middle; that is the independents that still have enough consciousness to make decisions based on the facts.
They're the ones who will change their votes as they wake up to the truth of the situation. They're the potential "woke" voters.

Note: Woke is the natural state of most of humanity. Asleep is the natural state of the MAGA crowd.

he is running for president again. He thinks he can delay long enough to win the White House and then they can’t go after him for all the laws he’s broken. It is obvious he’s guilty.

12. These are the same people who cheered him on when he bragged about never paying income taxes.

They roared approval when he admitted to being expert in bribing elected officials and corrupting the governing process. Trump's followers love him because he's a criminal and gets away with it.

13. It is all typical behavior of sociopaths caught red-handed committing a crime.

Yes it is all guilty behavior.
Innocent people don't act like this.
