You're missing the point. Perceptions matter. Being convicted as a felon is a lot different than just being thrown in jail. That's going to be a big deal with swing voters. Little Johnny is going to ask his parents, is he a felon? And his parents are forced to answer, Yes, he is, son.
The other thing is that if Trump gets a chance to return, he's going to pick up exactly where he left off four years ago. Only this time it will be much, much worse.
Raising costs on middle class family.
He will repeal the Affordable Care Act, no doubt about it.
He'll gut Social Security and Medicare.
And when somebody tells you are they believe him, he said he'd ban abortion across this country and he'll do it whether or not Congress is there or not.
Trump's not fighting for you or your family.
You know, he never he never said at that kitchen table like the one I grew up at, wondering how we were going to pay the bills. He sat in his country club, like in Mar-a-Lago, wondering how he can cut taxes for his rich friends.
And I got to tell you, his running mate shares his dangerous and backward agenda for this country. J.D. Vance literally, literally wrote the foreword for The Architect of the Project 2025 Agenda.
Like all regular people I grew up with in the heartland, J.D. studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community.
Come on, that's not what Middle America is.
And I got to tell you, I can't wait to see Tim Walz debate the guy. That is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up.
Not that it matters. Today the Harris-Walz ticket is up by 5 points and after the Democratic National Convention look for that number to only increase.

I'm just going to refer you to what I already said about this weak argument of yours.
As for the other points you're trying to make about what Trump would do, well, you tell quite a story. Not necessarily a true one, or an accurate one, but quite a story.

Let me try to boil it down for you.
There's a HUGE difference between serving jail time for civil disobedience like MLK did, which everyone understands was just protesting done to further public good, and being convicted as a felon by a jury of one's peers for trying to hide an affair with a porn star and being eligible for prison because of it. If you don't understand that either you're a fool or willing to deceive yourself.

Last time I checked, it's not a Felony to have an affair with a Porn Star?? Sorry but it's not and you don't say shit about Bill Clinton fucking his intern with a cigar underneath the Oval Office Table, but then again, 95% of this site weren't around when Bill Clinton was President so there's that

Once again, I'll refer you to what I said earlier about this. You're still trying to advance your weak and unconvincing opinion. Clutching your pearls harder doesn't make your argument any stronger.

Constantly repeating yourself and ignoring new points. Quite a debate style... hmm, that's an interesting word, "ignore"...
