6. Call me Rip Van Winkle

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but, despite all these stories we've heard over the past several years, Trump has never been indicted.

I've been a Democrat all my life. I would love to see Trump get indicted. The problem is: it hasn't happened.

I know some of his alleged crimes are complex issues that are defensible and would raise reasonable doubt. And, all it would take is one member of a jury refusing to vote guilty to prevent a conviction.

I don't keep a tally of all of his alleged crimes. But surely, there has to be at least one that stands a good chance of conviction.

So, why hasn't he been indicted?

Call me Rip Van Winkle. Wake me up when he's been indicted.
