I've seen lots of speculation that Trumbo is trying to get himself thrown in jail for the publicity of it all. It would result in a huge fundraising boost and conservative outrage, even if just for a short while, and no one wants to give him the satisfaction.
I'd be curious if anyone is doing an accounting of the total take though. I get that his campaign isn't raising as much money, but how many sneakers did they sell? I'm assuming they sold a few bibles and I'd assume he has his fingers in the 2 billion Kushner took for "investments."
In jail, no phone, no internet, no interviews. The only way he'd get to talk to the public is though his lawyer, who is accountable to tell the truth when discussing details of the case.
Unsure that would happen... Lots of undecided out there who care about the rule of law and have said in polls if he was convicted they would not vote for him. I think it's delusion and wishful thinking on his part
I keep saying it, those 'undecided' and 'middle of the road' people are actually just embarrassed conservatives. They don't wanna be seen as Trumpers while still voting for him.
Then how do they suddenly have an opinion that's based on the results of his trial? How do they even know its happening? How will they find out the verdict?
Because the trial and the result is all over the news and will be historic if he is found guilty. That is different than politics, that is headline news.
