 Trump verdict supercharges Republicans
by Julia Manchester and Alex Gangitano - 06/02/24 6:00 AM ET

Former President Trump’s guilty verdict in his New York City hush money trial is supercharging Republican enthusiasm, as his base rallies around him in the aftermath of Thursday’s historic verdict.

Trump’s political allies came out in force over the airwaves and social media, while grassroots supporters pulled out their pocketbooks. The GOP fundraising website WinRed even appeared to crash following the verdict.

The enthusiasm could be a sign that a legally devastating outcome for Trump could be a political boon that helps unify a fragmented GOP going into November.

“You can’t tell me that it doesn’t drive that low-propensity, unlikely voter into a frenzy and one where they are more inclined to engage in the election,” said Zack Roday, a Virginia-based Republican strategist. “This will drive turnout, and I think it will also drive people who don’t follow politics.”

“That’s not good news for Joe Biden, and it probably is good news for Donald Trump, within that context of addition and subtraction,” he said.

When the election season gets going, and more people start paying more attention, how eager will swing voters be to empower a party whose only purpose is to rally around one man?

This same scenario played out in 2022 when,  BTW, average gas prices were higher and inflation numbers were higher. Mar A Lago raid was supposed to cement and even grow an already predicted “Red Wave” according to the pundits and blogosphere

If MAGA couldn’t beat Biden then, why is this time different?  Tell voters Biden sucks and has dementia? That’s been known for at least the last two years

There is always the straw that broke the camel's back. This may be it.

IF, and it’s a big if, there’s any straw that would break a camel’s back is Joe’s rapidly declining abilities and the idea that Harris would replace him

I don't see it that way. But, the Trump camp could hammer the point that Hur decided not to prefer charges against Biden for lack of a crime, but that he was too mentally incompetent to stand trial.

Apparently, the only alternative being offered to a Democrat running up $8 trillion in new debt is for a Republican to run up $8 trillion in new debt.

This episode has the potential to galvanize GOP supporters and perhaps convert a few from the other side. We’ll see if there is any sustaining power. I suspect the internecine conflicts on the right will destroy much of the potential.

Which it’s completely logical to ask, if Biden is too mentally incompetent to stand trial, why then does he get to remain president? If he broke the law, then he can’t be president regardless of his mental state.

I think a lot of that will now depend on the sentencing.

The GOP no longer even pretends to stand for fiscal sanity and limited government

Anyone who tries, is threatened by MAGA

Good point. The political conventions will be wild. I hope Milwaukee can handle it.

Yep! Far too many unable to see the forrest for the trees.

The Democrat Convention in Chicago promises to be exciting

President Trump has just joined TikTok !!!

This puts himself directly in opposition to the professional political class of both UniParty wings and in alignment with this post-conviction prediction
