Sure, most of us would also like to see Trump in prison because of his many foul crimes, but that's secondary to keeping him away from the White House.
Our democracy is truly in danger if Trump regains the White House.
Strategically, I never saw the court cases as any guarantee that Trump won't be reelected. We have to stop him at the ballot box, by getting out the vote in support of Biden.
Now, Trump is in a very bad position where his best legal strategy - to delay, delay, delay - runs counter to his best political strategy.
From a political point of view, this SC ruling that keeps the cases against Trump in limbo - and thus in the news - is a disaster for Trump. Unresolved court cases are the worst type of publicity.
Will Trump ever pay for his crimes? I have no idea. My goal is to keep him out of the White House.

(61,930 posts)The record of his four years as president speaks for itself. Nobody needs a trial to prove that he stole top secret documents and gave them away or sold them. The evidence in the indictment speaks for itself.
Anybody still supporting Trump won't be persuaded by the outcome of a trial. Ask E. Jean Carroll.
I would like to see him rot in prison but what I really care about is keeping him away from power. These delays hurt him, politically.

(26,082 posts)a lot of Americans give a shit. Making bad people go to prison never prevents anyone else of doing the same crimes, they always think they're smarter than the ones that got caught. Lots of people went to prison for Watergate and Republicans went right back to illegal activities soon after.
