No, it doesn't. Additionally, yes, people read local news sites, which is what MW referenced, not a physical paper.

As of this moment at 10:16am, the lede story at Freep.com is indeed the verdict with the headline:

Did guilty verdicts hurt 'Teflon Don'?
Michigan voters don't think so.

Not sure I agree. I see 4 kinds of voters
1. Biden no matter what
2. Trump no matter what
3. Some third party candidate no matter what
4. Everybody else

The everybody else group could go either way or not vote at all. I just don't see the convictions moving too many of those people to Trump.

They are trying mightily to spin the “if it can happen to him it can happen to you” and “America will rally around Trump because he’s a victim of the system!” lines. I am not so sure either of these will bear fruit.

Kangaroo court to remove a country favor political opponent. Just another assault on our Democracy by the (donkey) party.

Are you so uninformed you think you’ll have to write him in? Does this look like Ohio?

Well... I certainly hope it doesn't. That said I was trying to do some analysis and not inject my feelings into it. So NO what you changed it to is NOT what I was trying to say.

My personal opinion is that I don't believe it will go the way he thinks it will no matter how much screaming comes from his side of things.

I guess what epitomized the entire situation for me was my office manager telling another co worker that she's so mad, she'd personally assassinate Biden. Yet, she'll tell everyone what a devout Catholic she is, staunchly "pro life", but celebrates children drowning at the border or other "undesirables" being murdered. She laments the fact that her adult kids aren't religious and don't have "morals" and that they won't let her see her grandkids. But, Jesus!

They are trying mightily to spin the “if it can happen to him it can happen to you” and “America will rally around Trump because he’s a victim of the system!”

Yes, if you paid a sex worker $100k to keep her mouth shut and then tried to pass it off as a legitimate expense, you too would likely be prosecuted for that malfeasance if authorities were made aware of it.

I'm number 3 I can't vote for the 2 evils ever again and I voted 3RD party in 2020 for President, it isn't RFK JR in 2024.
