Courts make it official: Donald Trump remains a convicted felon

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : In other words, Trump is now indeed set to enter office as a convicted felon.
27% : We still don't know why Merchan decided to hand the election to Trump by delaying sentencing.
25% : Trump only won by about one percent of the vote in the deciding swing states, and it's nearly a given that one percent or more of Trump voters would have stayed home if he'd had a prison sentence hanging around his neck.
24% : Merchan ruled today that they do not, which means that the felony convictions against Trump will stand.
7% : If Merchan had simply handed Trump his prison sentence for his thirty-four felony convictions, it's extremely unlikely that Trump would have won the election.
5% : But if nothing else, the dummies in the political middle who just voted for Trump are now faced with the embarrassment of having elected a convicted felon - and Trump will continue to carry that asterisk.
