it's definitely possible that it won't affect things and will even help boost turnout among his zombie base. All they're seeing on Fox and Newsmax and right wing disinfotainment is about how this trial is persecution by the left.

The two Jack Smith cases are slam dunks that should be knocking Trump out and the partisan corruption that's allowed them to be delayed is hugely disappointing.

Also, I know the rules vary by jurisdiction, but it's a shame that the present trial isn't televised. That would become viral and have far more impact. If everyone in the world can watch the proceedings of Johnny Depp's divorce, it's absurd that the people can't view the former President of the United States on trial for felony charges related to seeking office, while he's the process of standing for election for a new term. Some kind of dispensation should be made to the existing rules when there is significant value in the public seeing the process. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
