    Do you know anyone who has said "I like Trump, I like his policies, but I'm not going to vote for him because he is a felon"?

    Has anyone other than the left and their media harped on the felony?

    Explain how that is proving of your previous statement. If you cannot provide measures, attempt using p and qs.

    Well anyone who said 'I like Trump, I like his policies' has very poor judgement and couldn't care less about Trump's felonies in the first place.

    What are you proposing? That the majority of Americans really thought the conviction by democrats was legit? Even democrat legal scholars question it. You know that, right?

    Then you agree with me. It didn't make a difference because only one side believed it.

    I am proposing that you don't know what the vast majority of Americans think of the subject. You are merely bloviating for purposes unknown.

    WTH is a "democrat legal scholar". That's a disqualifying phrase if I've ever heard one.

    Yes, I agree with you there. Plus the felonies Trump was convicted of we're pretty minor. The felonies he would have been convicted of had he not won were a much bigger deal. Even then don't know if it would have mattered to the people who voted for him.

    I guess it's kind of like 100+ years ago when minorities were convicted of things in Alabama. Some people believed it was on the up and up and some people thought it was BS.

    Would you agree that the charges were politically motivated by democrats looking to keep Trump out of politics?

    That you should bring up Obama is revealing. He identified as a black man, which many Americans just couldn't accept. He and his family have been a credit to America and have been admired and respected the world over. One may have disagreed with his policies, but in no way, shape or form was he seen as divisive except by those of ill will and constricted minds.

    I prefer not to call them Trump's felonies, would rather refer to them as what they are Trumped up charges.

    It's good to be King. One guy intentionally mishandles classified documents and his sentenced to 15 years. The other guy intentionally mishandles classified documents, is elected to the presidency and gets a free pass.
    Jack Teixeira gets 15 years for leaking Pentagon classified documents

    Respectfully disagree, Trump no doubt exacerbated the situation but the ball got kicked down from the top of the hill with Obama's "get on the back of the bus" and Hillary's "basket of deplorables" clinging to guns and bibles. Can't say that about half the country and not expect some blowback.

    So by "Trump no doubt exacerbated the situation" you mean the roughly 35,000 false, misleading and largely incendiary tweets the felon used in his four years? That has never been approached as a daily divisive onslaught. No other present-day President ran roughshod over the guardrails. removed inspectors generals, hid personal financials and taxes, was impeached twice, and stole highly classified documents.

    No, the charges related to his attempted coup and his refusal to return classified documents were very warranted. Any normal citizen would have been charged for that stuff.

    Yes, the treatment of Trump and the persecution and terrorism of Blacks in the South 100+ years ago are so analogous. :rolleyes:. Only a delusional Trumper would come up with that one.
