Redux

With or without the bond, Trump is so far behind in campaign fundraising already his election is highly unlikely. What money he does raise will go to lawyers, again with or without that bond. He faces four criminal cases; one goes to trial shortly, the other perhaps by August, a third possibly before November. How much money can Trump raise, and where is he going to spend it? The first question can’t be answered; the answer to the second is obvious to everyone.

The focus on the bond is Trump’s obsession. Why should anyone else share it? Stopping that judgment won’t get him elected. It won’t fund his campaign. Paying for that bond would be an investment. An investment in the next POTUS.

What assurance does anyone have that will be Trump? And how does paying the bond for this case advance that goal? If he’s convicted in New York next month, does he go to jail? Or pay more fines? What are the odds America elects its first convicted felon, especially if the case returns to Chutkan’s court before November, or Willis starts her trial this summer?

Sounds like a worthless investment to me.
