Distractions. [View all]
The reduced bond has a lot of people feeling out of sorts. It may be helpful to remember that:
1) the court room drama remains a thorn in Trump's side. It eats at him. Look at his deranged posting on TS last evening. Every minute he spends dealing with court proceedings is a minute not devoted to campaigning or fund raising. More importantly, constantly being on trial isn't a good look and the never-ending reminders of Trump's impropriety (criminal activity) may influence independent voters.
2) defeating Trump was never dependent on the trials. He's lost a solid 20% of the republican base to Haley voters, the majority of whom when polled have declared they plan to vote for Biden now that Haley is out. No candidate can lose 20% of their party's base and have a real shot at winning (short of chicanery).
Schadenfreude took a hit today. It would have been nice seeing ketchup spilling out of the man's ears, true. But this is not the end of all things good, ya know? He's down a few hundred million, the media seems to have joined in on mocking him, and the criminal proceedings have yet to begin. Rub some dirt in it.
