On second thought, conviction could cost Trump votes from those who don't follow the news the way we do.

You may very well be right. Gotta wait and see.

Very likely so. However, in view of the oft-stated "the Vice-Presidency isn't worth a bucket of warm spit" reality, I'd rather see her in a position where she could actually do something, such as SecDef or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Remember, some time ago, when I predicted that she would be the first woman president?
