Americans remain deeply polarised over their choice between Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in November's presidential election. In Australia, a new survey suggests one candidate has overwhelming support.
If the Judge withholds adjudication of guilt, it means you have not been formally found guilty of the crime and there is no conviction. It is possible to plea guilty to a crime but still receive a withhold of adjudication and thus, not be convicted of the crime. However, for punishment, the Judge can still order you to probation or other sanctions.
I would add to this after reading extensively on this - if the defendant is found guilty by the jury, and he flees before sentencing, he has not been convicted. He is not a fugitive.

Pure copium.
Your master is a convicted felon and nobody cares what you think.
Donald Trump has made controversial comments about the US backing Ukraine - but Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his tone has been very different over the phone.
Great idea here.. don-old if you are reading this. If someone in his close circle told him Harris would pardon him if he dropped out, he'd do it in a heartbeat and sell out the whole GOP and millions of mouth breathers.
"Donald Trump is going to lose in November. I’ll go further and suggest there is a pretty good chance that he’ll pull out of the race, or at least try to negotiate the conditions that would allow him to do that."

No conviction without imposition of sentence. The law, son.
Cite a reputable source for this please.
New York State says:
13. "Conviction" means the entry of a plea of guilty to, or a verdict of guilty upon, an accusatory instrument other than a felony complaint, or to one or more counts of such instrument.
14. "Sentence" means the imposition and entry of sentence upon a conviction.
15. "Judgment." A judgment is comprised of a conviction and the sentence imposed thereon and is completed by imposition and entry of the sentence.
It’s not clear (to me) how Trump being found guilty of multiple felonies affects definition 13. But it doesn’t look like New York requires imposition of a sentence for a conviction.
“American women are not stupid,” Warren said during an interview on NBC’s "Meet the Press." “We’re not going to trust the futures of our daughters and granddaughters to two men who have openly bragged about blocking access to abortion.”

I found a source along those lines for federal court, with the caveat that some treaties considered a guilty verdict as a conviction.

I appreciate your interest in this. I will try to find you something more substantive maybe tonight. Off to the gym. Enjoy your evening.
I think that at this moment, Harris will win the Presidency, the Democrats will flip the House, but the Republicans will flip the Senate.
50 current Senate members caucus with Democrats and the Democrats will lose West Virginia. The one seat they have a shot at picking up is Ted Cruz’s seat in Texas, but that’s not likely. Dems could lose Montana and other states.
There will be no liberal legislation passed in Harris’s first two years. There will also be no border deal, because Republicans won’t give her the optics of a win on immigration.
NATO will be saved. No national abortion ban. Education and environment departments will be saved. No crazy dictator.
Here in reality, former President Trump is a convicted felon.

That's an inaccurate statement of law. You can certainly have a conviction without a sentence. We have exactly that in the Trump Porn Hookers trial. He is convicted. He is not yet sentenced.
What you are trying to do is play around with your belief that Trump is not a felon because there has been no final adjudication from the court. That's a different nuance to terminology than the one you posted above. If you want to play out a lame meme, you have to at least get it syntactically and rhetorically correct otherwise you look like you're half a spazz or something.
My family is moving soon to a verrry red area within a verrrry blue state where political partisanship is extreme as in "if you're not with us then you're against us". And yet I feel that this election offers the two worst GOP & Dem candidates in my lifetime. Third party candidates will never win in this country, but since I can't stand either of DJT or KH, then facing the "oh, you wasted your vote on 3rd party" sounds the safest path.
