    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.

      Conservatives generate outrage at anything and they donate to him regardless.

      This is a lame excuse for why they won’t lock his arse up.

          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.”

      Call his fucking bluff.

      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

        Doubt.

        have said in polls if he was convicted they would not vote for him

        Why would you believe a group of people that are insane enough to still be “undecided” on Trump. Don’t be a sucker.

          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.
