We Have Some Ideas Next Tuesday both sides will present their closing arguments in the People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, a case that exists for one reason only: to stop Trump from ever occupying the White House again. But what if this doesn't work? What if there's a hung jury or, worse yet, an acquittal? What if none of the 88 trumped-up felony charges results in a conviction and voters actually have a chance to elect Trump, should they prefer him over the decrepit failure known as Joe Biden? What is the Democrats' Plan B? They must have one. Democrats are nothing if not always prepared. And they've already made it clear that they will do anything to stop Trump. Anything, that is, except run on the issues. [...] https://issuesinsights.com/2024/05/24/whats-the-dems-plan-b-if-lawfare-doesnt-stop-trump-we-have-some-ideas/
