The question of how this affects the election is premature. The narrative now begins: Trump is a convicted felon. Sentencing will be July 11, per Justice Merchan.

Wow. That’s fast. https://t.co/paEJ8t2yko

Now begins the narrative that Donald Trump is the first former President to be convicted of felonies. (As I type Trump is rambling and ranting out his same old complaints, including xenophobia and racism.)

The presumptive nominee for the Republican party seeking the presidency is officially a convicted felon.

That narrative is gonna stick. That narrative is going to change the acceptance of Trump. Trump can be a convicted felon and be President. But will he be?

Let the narrative do its work.

Every. Damn. Charge.

34 counts is going to be a millstone. He is now a convicted criminal.
