The Trump indictments are not the political poison the Democrats hoped for
Despite the four indictments handed down against former President Donald Trump in a span of five months, he continues to grow in popularity with GOP voters in presidential candidate polling.
Understandably, many of these voters view Trump's growing legal woes as further evidence of a blatant banana republic-esque attempt at election interference by the sitting President of the United States seven years after the Clinton campaign-funded Russia collusion hoax was born in an effort to derail Trump's campaign.
One would think that it would be just that obvious why Trump's numbers with the Republican faithful are still holding strong, but not to NBC News anchor Chuck Todd, who on his "Meet the Press" program Sunday just couldn't understand why a majority of Republicans would stick by Trump despite his current predicament:
Of course it used to be that extramarital affairs, campaign trail tears, forgetting a cabinet agency, even a weird scream could end a presidential campaign. Now, Donald Trump has been criminally indicted four times in as many months, and faces 91 felony counts, and so leads the Republican field nationally by nearly 40 points. Yet, outside of former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is polling at 3% in a new Quinnipiac poll and, to a degree, his former Vice President Mike Pence,Trump's Republican opponents, for the most part, are declining to take him on directly.
...
Later during the panel discussion, Todd's frustration with the current electoral picture only grew after he pointed to a graphic showing that Biden's approval numbers at this point look more like Hillary Clinton's in the fall of 2016, right before she lost, rather than how Biden's looked in 2020, right before he was declared the election winner....
...
The Russian collusion hoax which Clinton and the media pushed in 2016 is still fresh in the minds of Republican voters and they see the current politicized indictments as similar attempts to throttle a Trump campaign and they are just not buying what the Dems and the media are trying to sell.
