Will it change anything? Possibly yes, but probably no. The conviction, and even imprisonment, which is highly unlikely to ever happen, will not bar Trump from continuing his pursuit of the White House.
From the AP:
“Though the legal and historical implications of the verdict are readily apparent, the political consequences are less so given its potential to reinforce rather than reshape already-hardened opinions about Trump.”
Trump once boasted that he could shoot someone in the streets of New York and people would still elect him.
Again from the AP:
“For another candidate in another time, a criminal conviction might doom a presidential run, but Trump’s political career has endured through two impeachments, allegations of sexual abuse, investigations into everything from potential ties to Russia [anyone remember the pre-pee tape kompromat story?] to plotting to overturn an election, and personally salacious storylines including the emergence of a recording in which he boasted about grabbing women [by the pussy].”
Trump still has 3 other active felony cases, on election tampering and national security secret document mishandling, but none of those will eb decided before the fall elections. I’m hoping common sense will prevail, but this is ameri Al. Politics we’re talking about, so who the hell knows.
