Donald Trump has had plenty to say since his hush money trial conviction last week. What he hasn’t done is utter any variation of the words that might benefit him most come sentencing time next month: “I’m sorry.”
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard “this will be thing that does Trump in” I would be rich. I’ll believe it when I see it. So far the only difference between this and the last time I heard it is that I can refer to him as a convicted felon, which, while somewhat satisfying, doesn’t really mean anything. He’s still going to be the GOP nominee and polls indicate his voters don’t care about his conviction that much.
After the 2016 election there was a panel discussion; all the creators of the top TV political dramas were invited. House of Cards; the West Wing; Veep; Scandal and others. Every writer and producer said the same thing. If they’d had a character on a show say that they ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the networks and advertisers would have demanded that character be kicked out of office/defeated resoundingly by the next episode.

I have posted this story before.
