The lesson Trump's enemies have failed to learn is that they never actually manage to "Get" Donald Trump.
In a matter of days, those who had cheered on the verdict as marking the end of Donald Trump were already blaming the Biden campaign and Democratic politicians for not running ads calling Donald Trump a convicted felon.
This would seem borderline political malpractice when the Trump campaign has already leveraged Joe Biden's decision to visibly smirk when asked whether Donald Trump was a political prisoner.
Third, that they do not believe the charges, even if true, are particularly important or bad. The "Trump is a felon" line is therefore likely to highlight something voters do not care about, namely that a jury faced with questionable instructions and denied access to exculpatory evidence, decided to wash their hands of the case, while also reminding everyone else about how obsessed Democrats are with using the legal system to chase Donald Trump.
The actual victim of Trump's conviction will not be Donald Trump but the legal system.
The decision to try to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot on 14th Amendment grounds was a ruthless assault on the entire American constitutional system by creating a lose-lose scenario.
State Attorney General Latisha James already tried to seize half a billion dollars from Donald Trump for offenses which didn't cost anyone any money in the hope of crippling his campaign, and now Alvin Bragg seems set to try to see if a local court in New York state can gag a candidate for president - and perhaps throw him in prison.
