One in six voters say Trump verdict could change their minds ahead of tight election, poll finds
Around one in six voters say that a guilty verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial will make them less likely to vote for him, according to a new poll.
You're viewing a single thread.
Only 1 in 6 voters would change their mind about a convicted fraudster becoming the most powerful person in the country? And only after ANOTHER guilty verdict?
And they're probably lying too.
Hmm, did the poll mention whether Sudan Collins was part of the one in six?
Well, it won’t change my mind about voting for Biden either way. There’s no way I will vote for Trump.
Technically, this would be the first guilty verdict.
The other verdicts were in civil court, so "liable", not "guilty". ;)
I still like to pepper in "guilty" every once in a while. Sometimes a little Trumpette will bite and try to correct it to "liable". I then confirm that they knowingly support someone liable for sexual assault and defend the distinction as if it makes it better.
Not just sexual assault, the judge later corrected that to rape.
"Adjuducated Rapist Donald Trump". ;)

Now adjudicated rapist felon Donald Trump.
That guy's gonna have SO many initials after his name.
I think that includes the voters who won't vote for him regardless. Like me. Whatever the jury finds, I'm not going to vote for Donald Trump.
I mean, it certainly hasn't changed my mind: I was never going to vote for him in the first place
1/6 voters is enough to swing it. The Texas split was 50-45. 1/6 is about 15%. .85*50=42.5 so (going with the wild assumption that Texas would have split along the same divide) if 1 in every 6 Trump supporters stay home just in Texas because of this it's the entire election.
I mean, there's a lot more than 6 people, right? This would mean 2 people at the very least. My math may be off.
Well, one in two weren't going to vote for him anyways so it's closer to effectively being one in three which lines up pretty well with the observation that 70% (about 35% on either side) of the electorate are uninformed voters who just vote based on party and don't really care who the candidate is.

Now, when people vote to try and elect an absolute wankglaze to office, we can be sure that they're voting for their favorite sports team and will never stop.
But people voting for the least-worse option, how do we know they're voting for teams and not voting in a marginally-less-horrific platform after careful consideration and a bit of a cry?
I have one team I'll never vote for because they just keep proving themselves dicks, but I do like to consider the options while I can still convince myself there is a choice between what's left after that.
Wow you can read!
