    I just do not understand how anyone is on the fence about DJT… Like, they see this conviction and that’s what changes their mind? After everything else?

      You vastly overestimate how much the average person pays attention to anything political, and when they do hear something they just assume they’re all like that.

      Gotta consider which fence we’re talking about. For some folks, the fact that he let his daughter marry a (((Kushner))) means he was just too Woke. For others, the fact that he got successfully convicted means he’s a big stupid loser. Some people just love an underdog and will vote for anyone who isn’t currently in office.

      You have to keep in mind that “independent” doesn’t mean “in the middle of Democrats and Republicans”. In the same way people abandoned Hillary over the Comey Letter, I’m sure there’s a certain number of independents who are scared off of Trump entirely because they don’t like the idea of someone being a convicted felon.
