Unbelievable witch hunt. I'd been wavering a bit lately but now I'm ride or die for Trump. They have only made him - and us - stronger.

You're voting for a convicted felon, dawg

OK, and? As I said, this trial was a witch hunt based on a nonsense legal theory and with a judge who repeatedly deviated from standard procedure and conduct to tilt the scales against Trump. I don't give a rat's ass what the verdict was in terms of whether I view it as legitimate.

All this whining knows you know deep down in your heart he's guilty. Stop trying to fake it

The defense must've really screwed up. Wasn't following it super closely but this seemed like the easiest case to beat.

Seems like no really good lawyer wanted him as client.

Susan Necheles and Emil Bove are actually very good lawyers. It's Todd Blanche who had the less than stellar resume. Curious as to why he led the defense instead of Necheles and Bove who are stronger counsel

Necheles was meh, Blanche was awful, and Bove was an embarrassment to the profession (well so was Blanche)

[Donald Trump found guilty on all 34 felony charges]

Donald Trump found guilty on all 34 felony charges

A Manhattan jury found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records he faced in his New York hush money criminal trial.

Trump is the first president in US history to be convicted of a felony.

Prosecutors accused Trump of taking part in an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election and an unlawful plan to suppress negative information, which included concealing a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. 

Judge Juan Merchan set a sentencing hearing for July 11.

As a convicted felon he can't vote in Florida, haha!

This may not be true, according to something NickG posted above to the effect that Florida disenfranchises felons with out-of-state convictions only if they lose their voting rights in the state of conviction, and NY only disenfranchises those who are currently in prison.  (I haven't confirmed this.)

This is true.

Trump being the Nominee is good for Biden

Nothing burger. Mark my words.

What effect this'll have on the race remains to be seen, but a former President being convicted of a crime for the very first time in American history is, in itself, most certainly not a nothing burger.

I imagine the people who said George Floyd deserved death for passing around counterfeit bills will never even CONSIDER voting for a convicted felon for President of the United States. Right?

Nixon deserved jail, altrought just some years.
Clinton... Well he lied about having an affair (on jury, tho). That's something more grey.

He committed perjury, obstruction of justice, and quite possibly sexual assault

Nothing in Monica's account of events made it seem anything less than consensual. Guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice yes.

He's still got Haley's vote!

Cause nobody cares about this case .

In the crosstabs, the only partisan group the conviction is a net negative for is Democrats. Independents view a conviction as a net positive for Trump, 15-11.
