Pardon his Golden Idol!!!
(duh!!)

Was not taking about the state convictions.It's a state offense. The governor of NY would have to pardon him.
Post Trump, we need to do what we can to ensure we never allow another traitorous politician like him develop. No pardon, and let him die alone in prison should his term be long enough. Make him an example.
We need to do what we can to discourage Vance, Hawley, Gaetz, etc., from trying to follow his playbook to power.
BlueAnon alert. I am just fine with Trump being convicted and have never voted or supported the man. Was simply asking a question as it certainly will come up when she wins.Let him burn. Who gives a shit if OP and MAGA don't like it. F them!
This is the most logical and well thought out response in this entire thread. The rest is just BlueAnon talk.I have no clue to where her principles would guide her if that were her only consideration. But she's putting on a pragmatic/moderate front because that's what the political calculation requires right now, I can't say what that will look like in this hypothetical.
My own preference would be to choose whichever avenue will bring the Republican party and a critical mass of its base back to reality, back to being a 'normal' political party. And I'm not sure the pardon or not pardon will make a difference in that.
All he has to do is admit, on camera, to all the lies and crimes.If I was her I would offer it to him. With some strings attached.
One hopes but this country is in bizzaro world so who knows?He’s going to get convicted for treason for what he did with the government top secret documents. Hell, I might make a deal with Putin to get what he knows about Trump. I’m sure Vlad would want something from us.
He could admit his crimes on camera and MAGA would claim the deep state was forcing him to do it. No way they would believe he did anything wrong that wasn't necessary to "save" America.All he has to do is admit, on camera, to all the lies and crimes.
Do that and I’ll be okay with him being pardoned.
Only if he admits his guilt. So, no, she won’t.If Harris wins the election and Trump is convicted in the federal cases will Harris issue a pardon?
Team Blue would hate it but it’s a brilliant move politically and will help in her re-election bid in 2028.
Weird that upholding the law in this thread is Blue Anon to such a middle of the road moderate such as yourself.This is the most logical and well thought out response in this entire thread. The rest is just BlueAnon talk.

If Donald loses Laura gets hauled to the curb within a year, and Donald will be looking for a new legal sugar daddy.As long as Laura Trump is in charge, absolutely.
Were Taliban leaders pardoned?If Harris wins the election and Trump is convicted in the federal cases will Harris issue a pardon?

I'll give you another theory to laugh about.This is funny! I don't care who you are.
No.If Harris wins the election and Trump is convicted in the federal cases will Harris issue a pardon?

Agreed with this. She has a chance to be more unpopular than Biden. Republicans will screw it up though and nominate someone like Don Jr. Or Kari Lake.No.
Nothing will help her 38 percent approval ratings by the summer of 2025. (bookmark it) She's toast in 2028 either way, might as well put Trump in jail.
Very real possibility....unfortunately.Agreed with this. She has a chance to be more unpopular than Biden. Republicans will screw it up though and nominate someone like Don Jr. Or Kari Lake.
I think it's more likely the Rs are toast. Once Trump is gone so will be millions of his supporters. There simply won't be enough voters left to make the Rs competitive.No.

Come back to reality Huey. The number of times one party or the other has been declared dead only to rise again would make anyone’s head spin.I think it's more likely the Rs are toast.

I don't think the other MAGA options will inspire the undying loyalty Trump has from his supporters. I don't understand their love for him, but it's like nothing I've ever seen before.Come back to reality Huey. The number of times one party or the other has been declared dead only to rise again would make anyone’s head spin.
God willing, following a Trump defeat in November, the true question is whether MAGA is dead and/or we see “RINOs” try to reclaim their party.
Trump will once again insert himself into the presidential candidacy in 2028, even if it's from a prison cell. Book it.Very real possibility....unfortunately.
I don't see an 82 yr old Trump being a factor in 2028.Trump will once again insert himself into the presidential candidacy in 2028, even if it's from a prison cell. Book it.
Did you see 78 year old Trump as a factor in 2024? Be honest.I don't see an 82 yr old Trump being a factor in 2028.
No. Thought he was done after 2020...Did you see 78 year old Trump as a factor in 2024? Be honest.
Why would pardoning one of the country's most notorious traitors help a political career?Team Blue would hate it but it’s a brilliant move politically and will help in her re-election bid in 2028.
We've seen this effect in elections without Trump on the ticket. Rs lose. Now imagine he's out of the picture entirely. GOP will be in really bad shape when he goes. Everything will have to be rebuilt by scratch. And if we know anything, it's that Rs are terrible at rebuilding things.Come back to reality Huey.

Agreed, we’ve seen several touted as essentially a Not-crazy/smart version of Trump. All have failed to duplicate the secret sauce.I don't think the other MAGA options will inspire the undying loyalty Trump has from his supporters. I don't understand their love for him, but it's like nothing I've ever seen before.
Don’t really disagree, but I just don’t see 40% of the voters abandoning the GOP. They’re still going to be nationally relevant due to the number of rural states that are solid Red, and gerrymandering assures they’re going to be competitive in the House as well. They may continue to struggle for presidential races, but that’s a long way from saying they’re fading.We've seen this effect in elections without Trump on the ticket. Rs lose.

I'll give you credit. That is well thought out hilarity.I'll give you another theory to laugh about.
1. The judge knows the felony case isn't going to stick in the end, but since sentencing was postponed the "felon" talking point value has been realized.
2. This info has been shared with the Biden admin (or perhaps coordinated with). After all, we know the judge and prosecutor are on record as wanting to 'get trump,' so doing their share to help influence the election isn't unexpected.
3. After Kamala wins, Biden will pardon Trump before sentencing even happens. Why? He both promised to be a unifier, and would maintain the talking point that Trump was a convicted felon! He gets to be a "unifier" by letting the maga leader go, AND he sort of gets to jab it in the side of the Rs who are quick to point out how weak on crime Ds have become (a sort of 'except when it's your guy' thing...)
This is a way to take the win, and never have to suffer the backlash from a victory on appeal by Trump (or a mistrial/retrial).
Man...sometimes I even start to believe the crap I post. I should be a Dem strategist.
Her current approval rating according to 538 is 45.4%. Trump’s is 43.1%. If MAGA goes away with a Trump loss, I don't see her numbers falling that far.No.
Nothing will help her 38 percent approval ratings by the summer of 2025. (bookmark it) She's toast in 2028 either way, might as well put Trump in jail.
He didn't commit any crimes in New York. That is the problemUndermining the Rule of Law is "a brilliant move, politically"?
Seems like you're just hoping and praying for your Golden Idol to be let off the hook for crimes he's committed.
Most Dems are just fine w/ folks like NY's Mayor and Senator Menedez facing the consequences of their actions.
Why would they feel differently about "Trump" and his crimes?
6 months of having to listen to word salad will drive her numbers down.Her current approval rating according to 538 is 45.4%. Trump’s is 43.1%. If MAGA goes away with a Trump loss, I don't see her numbers falling that far.
he will still hold court over all primaries in low iq red states.No. Thought he was done after 2020...
D's pushing an 82 yr old Biden didn't end well. Kind of points to a 82 yr old Trump not doing well in 2028.
If he IS a factor in 2028 that will be to the D's benefit.
I doubt he's alive in four years.Trump will once again insert himself into the presidential candidacy in 2028, even if it's from a prison cell. Book it.
I think a lot depends on the narrative being pushed by whatever the GOP is at that time through the right wing media sources. How long MAGA lives, will determine a lot IMO.6 months of having to listen to word salad will drive her numbers down.
Main thing she has going for her now is she isn't Trump. He'll be gone and her numbers will go down.
We can revisit in 10 months
