Contributing sentiments towards policy:

28% : And it's not like Merchan is actually going to put Trump in prison; it is virtually certain that Trump will get bail pending appeal, so Merchan can appear to impose a stiff incarceration sentence without any real incarceration - at least for now, and probably ever.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe objective here is to enable Vice President Harris and the media-Democratic complex to label Trump "a convicted felon sentenced to prison" just weeks before Election Day, at a time when Americans will already have started voting in many states, not least the potentially decisive Pennsylvania battleground.
26% : I am speaking, of course, about the case in which Manhattan's elected progressive Democratic district Attorney, Alvin Bragg, is prosecuting Trump.
25% : There is, moreover, a high likelihood that he will impose a prison sentence against Trump right after that.
25% : I suspect that Merchan will rationalize that Trump (a) was not charged based on official presidential acts, and (b) would have been convicted even if Bragg's prosecutors had not introduced arguably immunized evidence.
21% : The judge has signaled that, come hell or high water, he intends to sentence Trump on September 18.
21% : The New York prosecution of Trump was politics not justice.
21% : The New York prosecution of Trump was politics not justice.
7% : Merchan, to the contrary, denied Trump the right to a unanimous verdict on the supposed crime (conspiracy to influence the election by illegal conduct) that Bragg alleged Trump was trying to conceal by falsifying his business records.
