The problem with that is "principled conservatism" is not what it used to be. It needs to be adapted to current trends and voter opinions, and those in charge refuse to adapt. They are headed for extinction.
You guys still do not realize how badly this particular conviction is going to backfire. The prosecutors are pushing the least meaningful cases, those which appear to the biggest reaches to independents. The ones that did not cause harm to either New York or to the nation. The ones which really matter to the independent voters are the ones that are not trumped up and actually were crimes which were meaningful. Those will not be ejudicated during the campaign. So the base is riled up all summer over cases which were either unprecedented or no one was harmed by what happened. To the base it looks like weaponized justice and the independents are left shaking their heads. The liberals are fat and sassy, but also worried that Biden will make a gaffe of monumental proportions. It looks to me as if a repeat of 2016 could be possible. All of the things that got Trump elected are in play, plus a few more. Purple states to be determined by turnout, more difficult mail in voting, complacency within the Dems, anger in the base, and a certain amount of gerrymandering in purple/red states all point to a repeat of 2016. But instead of a Trump who was forced to play by the rules, you have a man emboldened by his full term and angered by his embarassing treatment in 2023/24. It is a scary prospect.
Nobody’s gonna be motivated to change their vote to support a convicted criminal.
Your fantasy scenario is soooo stupid. It’s pitiful.

The demobrats are just another version of the NAZI party. A bunch of evil, lying, socialist who are trying to destroy our country. Sleep Joe is a bigger ass than Trump. The media just covers it up. Wake up and see what is going on! Stop being sheep led to the slaughter!
Hello, Ivan.
Can you give us some specific, true examples of things Biden is doing or might do to "destroy the country"?
I mean, after 8 years of hearing this kind of sky is falling nonsense under Obama, I am a bit skeptical you see, since the sky did not fall and the country, after 8 years of Obama, was far better than it was when he was elected. Likewise today, we seem to be in pretty good shape after 3 years of Biden.
You are attempting to get a response of substance from a Trump supporter. Good luck.
Hey Trumpers Time for some tough love. Just because you are still buying Don the Con, it is a big mistake to assume the rest of the country is too. Granted. He conned the electorate in 2016. But now everyone knows his business are a complete fraud. His wealth is a fraud. He is histories worst sore loser that still can’t accept the reality that he lost. And this court case exposed him as a despicable adulterer that can’t win an election without cheating. Oh yeah. It also proved that “fake news” was nothing but projection because Trump himself originated a fake news BS factory to con the nation into voting for him with Pecker. Do you think the country is as dumb as you are and will believe any more BS from Don?
Nothing would be better for America than for the Republican party to return to some semblance of principled conservatism.
What do you mean by principled conservatism and who is going to lead that movement in your opinion? Mike Dewine? Mike Pence, Jeb Bush? Mitt Romney? Does your conservatism include money for Ukraine? Overseas wars? Does it involve making compromises with Democrats legislatively? The days of the two parties getting along I'm afraid are over. Democrats clearly want a war, so our side should give them one, politically speaking. I could be wrong, but nobody really other than Trump is willing to do that.
I dare you to list Donald Trump's core axiomatic principles.
In denial? I am just analyzing the current situation. Trump's sway on his voters is unbelievable for reasons beyond my comprehension. Because of the way the electoral college works, he has a chance to be president again despite not even being close to winning the popular vote. His only chances to pick up votes are among independents who may come to see the wrong crimes being prosecuted as part of an agenda and the part of his base who are too lazy to vote. The Democrats' complacency is Trump's biggest advantage though. Biden has enough money to make a compelling case to get his voters to the polls, but has to appear to be completely mentally sound throughout the campaign.
For those of you unsure what to believe - remember trump mocked a cripple man on public tv and bragged he was so rich he could grab a woman by the pu$ie. Truly unfit.
You have that wrong. He said he was rich and then he mocked a crippled pu$ie, Joe Biden.
Here it is post #441 trying to twist the crap out of simple recorded truth.
