True or False: The prosecution of Donald Trump would unite Republicans in the next election?

Some believe it would accomplish nothing except to unite the Republicans for the next election and in 2024. I believe they are dead wrong.

In my opinion, it would be a catalyst to divide the Republicans. Many are already trying to distance themselves from Trump before their next election. They simply will not unite behind someone that they believe is a guaranteed loser for them. Most polls show they have a very good chance of winning the House and the Senate in the mid-term elections. Trump could wreck those chances.

His brain-washed followers of the cult of personality will unite behind him. But his rallies are showing that he has lost much of his appeal, even amongst the most devout. His worship of Putin and his attack on democracy is not lost on many of them. He has shown himself to be an enemy of America.

The cult already hate liberals. "Liberals" are the cause of everything wrong with America. They would prefer to see them all dead.

So, how would the Republicans re-act if he was charged with the crimes of which they know he is guilty? How would they re-act if he was put under house arrest, with an ankle bracelet, without the use of a telephone? It would be the most divisive action that could happen to the Republican Party. They would scream to high heaven, but they will not defend Trump.

In my opinion, it would start a "civil war" amongst the Republican Party. It would give Democrats the best opportunity to win in 2022 and 2024.

However, I do not see the DOJ filing any charges before the 2022 elections. But, whether Democrats win or lose in 2022, the DOJ will likely file charges against Trump after the election. That will be their best hope of Democrats winning in 2024, in my opinion.

If unite means fall into lockstep with one another policy-wise, then no. If it means united in showing up at the polls to oust Democrats in general, yes.

Again. I'm surprised it hasn't gone gangrenous and fallen off.

As for the results of shamprosecuting Trump:

I hate to break it to you, DU, but you've lost independents as well as republicans. Oh and, there's the matter of republicans having a registration advantage as well.

What am I saying? I love breaking that to them.

More than the 90% backing President Trump already has?
