Former U.S. President Donald Trump was hit with a fourth set of criminal charges on Monday when a Georgia grand jury issued an indictment accusing him of efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

His lead over Republican presidential rivals has widened since the New York charges were filed in April, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling. But in a July Reuters/Ipsos poll, 37% of independents said the criminal cases made them less likely to vote for him, compared to 8% who said they were more likely to do so

How can someone see Trump been charged again and again, as something that makes him more compelling to vote for. I know the Republicans have put their egg in that basket(case), but as an independent, seeing all those charges, and think "Well, that works for me!" I don't get it...

They think criminal charges means he's pissing off liberals instead of... You know... Being a criminal.
