Some of my rationale for thinking that Donald Trump has a better chance than he had a while ago is based on subjective factors. I’m feeling the vibe, and the vibe is more and more Trump-friendly. Look at these bizarre civil lawsuits and criminal frame jobs. Everybody can see what they are. Yeah, you have the worst lawyers in the world – that is, law professors, MSNBC analysts, and people who talk about law on Twitter, who aren’t me and about five other guys and gals – all telling us that these cases are a slam dunk, no-lose, take it to the bank mortal lock for the prosecutors. But they aren’t. It’s manifest nonsense legally, and as we saw in the Supreme Court handling of the one-neat-trick to kick him off the Colorado ballot case. Even some of the liberal judges on SCOTUS are unwilling to completely humiliate themselves to get the trained seals on CNN clapping.

These cases are objective garbage. They’re nonsense, and everybody can see it. Whatever the hell Alvin Bragg is trying to push is trash. Fani Willis, the gray goose-guzzling cash advocate, has utterly humiliated herself and seems likely to be kicked off this nonsense case, which a different prosecutor would review and perhaps toss in the trash where it belongs. The federal cases are not going to go to trial before the election, despite the newfound right of the government to a speedy trial, which apparently I missed in constitutional law despite all the geniuses on Twitter with a lot of degrees and no clients insisting it is a thing.

The Supreme Court is going to chop up these cases like sushi before the first biased juror sits his, her, or their ample behind down in a DC jury box. This is what happens when you invent crimes and twist statutes that were never meant to persecute political opponents into tools to persecute political opponents. But the fact that these cases are doomed legally is different from their effect on the voters. Obviously, the Democrats think that if any jury in the world passes judgment on Donald Trump then a bunch of Normies are going to get the vapors and refuse to vote for him. But normal people don’t believe in the legal system. They see what’s happening. They understand he can’t get a fair trial in New York, Atlanta, or Washington, DC. They know it’s all a lie. They know it’s all a scam. The objective fact is that his persecutions have made him more popular. Every time they pull this nonsense I’m exponentially more eager to go and pull the voting lever for Donald Trump in November. And I am not unique.
