    It can’t happen though. Community service is an act that requires cooperation. He would need to buy in, which he won’t. He’d wear the orange jumpsuit and continue to campaign from the side of the highway. He’d never pick up a single bit of trash, he’d smile for cameras.

      Cool, so then he’s never actually going to complete it and would have to be out there every day doing nothing and looking (more) like a criminal.

      I’d still pay to see him forced to degrade himself and be cajoled by DoC thugs to pick up trash. Even if he never did, the damage to his ego would be worth the wasted time.

        He’d be looking more like a martyr every day. He’d get constant attention from his supporters and more opportunities to address the public than he currently has now. As much as it could hurt him, It really has as much chance to backfire and help him.
