Politico: “Nearly a third of Republican caucusgoers told pollsters that Trump would not be ‘fit’ for the presidency if he is convicted of a crime — a sizable defection that, if it held, would likely doom Trump’s general election chances.l
“Polling in this area is challenging, so it is best to take this figure with a considerable grain of salt. Some portion of these people, for instance, may believe Trump would literally be incapable of serving as president if convicted of a crime — perhaps because he would immediately be hauled off to prison or disqualified — which is not true, and which they would eventually come to learn if things moved in that direction.”
“But what is clear is that some lingering courtroom questions are now essential electoral questions as well: When will Trump’s myriad trials take place? And can any jury deliver a verdict before this November?”
