And now for the sentence!

Probably at a later date. (Typical of NY)

There is still a subset of independents who might actually draw the line at voting for a convicted felon. It's not going to change any actual Trumpers minds but we don't really need it to.

previous polling indicated this was a big potential turning point for many voters. dunno if that's still true today, but yeah. gotta hope it moves the needle...

no rule against it. even if he was in jail.

 

[zeke]

oh trump spoke only for like 30sec (nothing new said) and left. surprising. i thought he'd rant for a while. try to incite a riot.

 

[hockeylover]

I wonder how stunned he is. I think he thought we'd never get here.

This is an Al caponish verdict. He's done so much worse but finally we got him on something.
