Of course it is. It’s a completely manufactured event. It will drag on for months, if not years. They’ve effectively diced up 1no. misdemeanour offence into 30+, and then tried to dress it up as a felony, which even left leaning commentators in the US think is a stretch.
Trumps ratings are up. The cynic in you would think it’s been planned to up Trumps rating and guarantee he gets the nomination, because they want Trump to run, because they can beat him.
They don’t want an election against de Santis. At all costs.

Which is a tiny group of people, compared to just less than half of the U.S (Approx 150 Million) think it that it is a political witch hunt. Even people who venomously hate the man, those with Trump derangement syndrome, have said it’s a poor & weak indictment.

Donald Trump sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll, civil trial jury finds
Donald Trump has been found liable of battery and defamation, after a civil trial jury found he sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll.
The jury rejected the rape claim but awarded her $5m in damages.
The nine-person jury began discussing the battery and defamation lawsuit on Tuesday and deliberated for just under three hours.
Ms Carroll, 79, had claimed that the former US president raped her in a department store changing room in Manhattan in the mid-1990s.
She said he defamed her by claiming she made up the story and was seeking compensation and punitive damages.
Mr Trump, who did not attend the trial, has insisted he never sexually assaulted Ms Carroll or even knew her.

The civil trial decision must mean that de Santis will be who the Democrats are up against. The economy is currently booming thanks to Biden's policies so I doubt they will worry too much about de Santis.

Re: Trump Organization Found Guilty Of Tax Fraud At Trial
Have there been many Presidential candidates who have been convicted sex offenders? I would have thought a lot of the Religious Right would draw the line at this.

They didn’t draw the line before and his behaviour wouldn’t have met their standards then. He’s the price they are willing to pay to get their agenda progressed.
I’m no Trump supporter, but there’s obvious defensive lines to this that his supporters will accept and his detractors will not.

No and neither has Trump.
He wasn’t convicted yesterday, because it’s a civil case.

Isn't going to go down well with the ladies though, and they make up quite a proportion of the electorate.
