'In Like a Lion, Out Like ... A President': CNN Laments Trump's 'Extraordinary Victory'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : For him, it became a kind of, as we saw, political badge of honor where it was at that point when this case was charged that there was a changing of the winds when he was able to use that to propel him for the sympathy and political expedience that he was seeking.
43% : Let's talk about the double standard that put Trump in that courtroom in the first place -- as well as in the other New York courtroom in Letitia Adams' fraud-with-no-victim lawsuit.
39% : Noting that an "unconditional discharge" rarely gets applied in felony convictions, the commentators grudgingly admitted Donald Trump won in the end:
37% : Well, I got to tell you, Donald Trump right now and is a little in a league of his own for the reasons that my colleagues have described.
36% : In both cases, the state pushed theories that had never been used in court before; Bragg's conversion of misdemeanors into felonies via alleged campaign-finance violations was an absurd construct, corruptly designed for political motives.
36% : Everyone knew that then, and that was before Trump finally got the right to appeal this cooked prosecution and trial.
34% : Adams' predicate was so nonsensical and so threatening to other developers in New York that Governor Kathy Hochul had to publicly declare that the state would only ever apply it to Trump -- exposing the political motivation of that court case as well.
32% : Immediately afterward, CNN legal analyst Laura Coates lamented what she called a double standard in favor of Trump in the sentence he received.
23% : The state of New York declared war on Donald Trump to derail his political ambitions.
16% : How often have you heard that said, in order to make sure that they don't have the ability to be actually brought into a jail? Donald Trump doesn't have any of those conditions.
