    This is going to be the second coming of the OJ trial: it’ll be inescapable. This creates two problems for Trump. First, general election voters aren’t gonna be happy that he kept nuclear secrets in a bathroom with a chandelier. Second, nobody likes a loser, especially not /pol/lacks. This is also the problem for Ron “Tiny D” DeSantis.

    This whole situation reminds me of 2008. You know, the year we had to choose between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.

      I worry that too many right-leaning voters are going to say, “Doesn’t matter, pwned the Libs” and vote for him anyway. I can’t tell you how many right-wing acquaintances I have who get giddy at the idea of introducing chaos into the government.

        Oh, of course the world is full of children. But at some point the thrill of seeing Trump ground down by the Department of Justice will stop being invigorating and become depressing, even for them.

        They’re a cult of personality, and they aren’t going to see dear leader martyred, they’re going to see him destroyed very slowly and methodically. Their mythology requires that he be Teflon Don, and that just isn’t how it’s gonna go.
