Vote for the convicted felon
By Noel S. Williams
Would you vote for a convicted felon like Trump? Earlier polls had mixed results, indicating only marginal changes in voting behavior after a conviction. But now it’s a done misdeed, indications are that a vast majority will answer “yes.”
Actually, while by no means “scientific,” the response to this informal poll conducted by Kenny Polcari of Slatestone Wealth management, can be described as “hell, yes!”
And why not? It sure is more transparent than voting for an untried and unconvicted criminal like Clinton or Joe Biden.
Trump is about the most investigated politician ever -- we know what we’re getting. But Biden is a dark and dirty politician whose riches are incommensurate with his salary. He relishes reminding us of his working-class background, so I doubt he inherited much, either.
It’s highly likely the verdict will be overturned (after the election), but in the meantime Trump really can wear his conviction as a badge of honor. This is not a Panglossian mindset -- consider that FDR is reputed to have said, “I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.” By that standard, we should judge Trump very favorably indeed.
