Around one in six voters say that a guilty verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial will make them less likely to vote for him, according to a new poll.

    Only 1 in 6 voters would change their mind about a convicted fraudster becoming the most powerful person in the country? And only after ANOTHER guilty verdict?

      And they’re probably lying too.

      Well, it won’t change my mind about voting for Biden either way. There’s no way I will vote for Trump.

      Technically, this would be the first guilty verdict.

      The other verdicts were in civil court, so “liable”, not “guilty”. ;)

      I think that includes the voters who won’t vote for him regardless. Like me. Whatever the jury finds, I’m not going to vote for Donald Trump.

      1/6 voters is enough to swing it. The Texas split was 50-45. 1/6 is about 15%. .85*50=42.5 so (going with the wild assumption that Texas would have split along the same divide) if 1 in every 6 Trump supporters stay home just in Texas because of this it’s the entire election.

      Well, one in two weren’t going to vote for him anyways so it’s closer to effectively being one in three which lines up pretty well with the observation that 70% (about 35% on either side) of the electorate are uninformed voters who just vote based on party and don’t really care who the candidate is.

    I am so jealous of someone who didn’t realize Trump was a complete asshole until now.

    Imagine how peaceful their lives are. I bet it feels like walking through thick, warm clouds. You can vaguely see shapes and hear muffled sounds but none of it is important enough to trouble yourself about.

    Just a fuzzy, happy brain, floating through the universe.

    So jealous.

    This whole thing of calling people on the phone and shouting questions like this at the ones of them who answer, and then reporting the result as if it was news relevant to how the election will turn out, is absurd.

    It’s literally on par with calling people and asking them if they’re planning to get the flu this year, and then reporting that as a public health study.

    Even 1:12 or 1:24 would make a huge difference this election cycle.

    Its not even June and I’m already excited for July’s polling.

    I wonder if both Trump and Biden can poll below 40% at some point before November.

    What the top secret documents Putin’s Sock Puppet stole and later sold from Mar-a-Lago and his latest comments about a Unified Reich? Fuck Trump and Trumpturds.
