Who thinks trump will settle with E.Jean Carroll before case is over

Trump is losing badly in the trial and the longer it goes the more he is exposed.

5. To me it is 50/50. He settles a lot. He may want to get this off the news. Tacopina seems to

be doing a terrible job. I can not imagine that a diverse jury is impressed with his bluster? Anyway I guess we’ll see what happens.

2. I don't think that he can afford for a jury to decide the case.

Unless, of course, he knows something that we don't.

Of course they could hurt him financially, but his supporters would make that up in no time..."Damn the trailer payment, Mary, send the President some money."

6. He might try, but I dunno if she'd agree at this point

I don't think she's in it for the $$$ and he'd probably insist she never speak of it again publicly as part of the settlement, along w/other terms she wouldn't be happy with.

7. Doesn't matter. Don't think she would accept any settlement

Unless he admits on TV to raping her. No public admission, no settlement. The next best thing is a jury siding with her.
