it would be hilarious is if, during the primaries, the other GOP candidates constantly blew off Trump, repeating, “you’ll be in jail soon, so why should we listen to you?"

They won’t they need his base to win. They will look like buffons in front of him all while they hope he goes to jail so they can try and attempt to take up his mantle and his voter base.

Edit: also I have no hope that he will go to jail. He literally isn’t set for trail until half way through next year. He will have plenty of time to destroy America and turn his base against us all.

The election isn’t until the end of next year though

Court cases can take lots of time. The special prosecutor, Jack Smith, is moving at lightning speed in both current proecutions (Florida docs case, and DC coup case), but even if the judges involved do keep the pace up the only hope Trump has is to delay. He’s obviously guilty and there’s mountains of evidence so if the jury actually meets to deliberate he’s screwed. So the whole goal is to keep taking more time every step that he can.

The Florida judge is completely in the right wing pocket and has already started to tank the case. So far the DC judge is signalling a strong stance of ‘lets get it done’, but there’s tons of ways to slow down a court if you have the money for the lawyers to waste time.

Even if he’s convicted, the sentencing takes time, then appeals, then more appeals. It could be years before anything is truly resolved in this because as long as he has money to pay lawyers (even mediocre ones), then he can keep out of jail and trying to get immunity of office or to pardon himself as president.

While true, he got that base by being ruthlessly cruel to his opponents, even those in his own party. They eat that shit up, and going for Trump’s throat and making him look weak would be the best way to win over his base.

You think but I doubt it work with any of his base. Just look at DeSantis he only one that done that and he is failing badly in his campaign. Also none of them can do what he does.
