Same. It’s hard to care about these clickbait titles when nothing has stuck to him or changed his supporter’s opinions.
Luckily, voting plays zero role in court cases. Changing the minds of the electorate is never the goal of a criminal case, and as to “nothing has stuck to him” … that’s simply not true. (And even if it were, past performance is not indicative of future results.)
Voting will play a real big role in this court case if he pardons himself.
Completely separate issue. The national electorate != the jury in this specific case.
I don’t see how it’s separate. If he pardons himself, nothing that happens at this trial will actually matter.
This is why the state charges out of Georgia matter.
Until he’s in prison, none of this back and forth matters. Exhausting.
