An interesting twist…
Nearly a week after a Manhattan jury found former President Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records the dust has started to settle.
According to a recent YouGov poll, Republicans say that they are now okay with allowing convicted felons to be president a significant rise from a similar poll in April.
YouGov conducted its first poll on the political support of felons on May 31, following the conviction of former President Donald Trump, and the sharp rise is both equally stunning and not at all surprising.Â
The Political Polls account shared the details on social media:
Similarly, a focus group of undecided voters following former President Trump’s conviction last week revealed mixed reactions to the historic verdict
According to The New York Times, a transcription of the focus group features 11 swing voters, all of whom have previously supported Trump and President Biden or Hillary Clinton at least once during 2016, 2020 and 2024.
Undecided voters were asked to discuss the impact of Trump’s guilty verdict in his New York trial and how it will affect their likelihood to vote for him. Some respondents said they were still “torn” after the verdict. However, it wasn’t a decisive factor for many of them.Â
“Inflation, the economy, immigration and abortion were the things that they said would ultimately determine their votes,” the Times notes.
James, a 53-year-old from Iowa, commented, “They’ve been going after Trump since he was elected in 2016. Democracy is supposed to be about the will of the people. I don’t really think the majority of the people in this country wanted to see him prosecuted on these charges.”Â
When other participants expressed their hesitancy to vote for a convicted felon, Jonathan, a 37-year-old from Florida, interjected, “You have to remember why Trump is the choice of millions of people. Trump represents a shock to the system. His supporters don’t hold him to the same ethical standards. He’s the antihero, the Soprano, the ‘Breaking Bad,’ the guy who does bad things, who is a bad guy but does them on behalf of the people he represents.”
Frank, a 65-year-old from Arizona, replied, “The more I see Trump dealing with this, the less confident I am in him. A president’s got to be a step apart from just a good person. And I have a problem with his integrity and ethics. I’m swinging toward probably Biden. And I don’t like Biden. I don’t like him… got no ethics, either.”
Victory Hooray
we all know what happened and how it happened.
This will be overturned and they will no longer be able to label our Candidate as a convicted felon.
Good God, the whole world is LAUGHING at the USA and Biden at this point
Simple….. We know a SHAM trial when we see one… They resurrected a case whose statute of limitations EXPIRED years ago… Bragg’s predecessor declined to prosecute it because of Lack of Evidence…. Bragg wasn’t going to prosecute it due to Lack of Evidence…. So Biden sent his #3 man at the DOJ to prosecute the case on Bragg’s behalf…. Matthew Colangelo worked in Biden’s DOJ as the associate attorney general — the third-highest job in the DOJ — before leaving in December 2022 to join the Manhattan DA’s office. Colangelo, like Bragg, also previously worked in the New York attorney general’s office, where they helped target Trump repeatedly.
And then they have “judge” Merchan who donated to and Anti-Trump PAC called “Stop Trump”…. and then you have Merchan’s daughter that is a fund raiser for the DNC…. and then, there is the 2nd crime that we still do NOT know what it was….. at a bare minimum, Merchan violated the 6th and 7th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution in order to prosecute Trump…. this was a prime example of a Stalinistic trial where ALL of the cards were Stacked AGAINST Trump… the case will be overturned… That is how we can Vote FOR Trump…
The American people can see through all of these legal proceedings. The Democrat party needs to wake up and realize they cannot win anything this way. So far all they have done is give President Trump more air time then any other presidential candidate. He doesn’t need to run campaign adds they’re doing it all for him. I’m 100% voting for Trump again. These trials are only making sure the rest of America does too!!
