"It's a slam dunk," Diana Florence, a former prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, told the BBC.
I read the indictment, and it's hard to believe this won't be accurate. It's not like the feds are known for borking procedural issues.
Can a rally behind Trump lead to the nomination? If not, the party will surely turn on him. If so, it's inconceivable that the country's center (who truly drives the general election outcomes) will be willing to get out and vote for him.
This leads me to believe forward-looking party members will just skip the 2. ??? step and build relationships with the true leaders of the future.
Meanwhile, it's very possible the base does continue supporting him and may refuse to rally behind another nomination.
This chaos may be a gift to the Dems that keeps on giving.
