    Maybe that’s because they think the case is about the paying of hush money, which it is not. It’s about the way the payment was reported.

      exactly. literally, about campaign finance fraud - and fraud is the thing that defines his existence.

    His old lawyer went to jail for these very same crimes. Do these people think that he just went to jail for funsies?

    It’s a good thing that guilt is not determined by a poll.

    Many of them will change their minds when he’s found guilty and things are reported properly.

    Some of them will never be convinced no matter what.

    So the press has successfully managed to make it so the majority don’t know what the case is really about. While at the same time appear to report about Trump.

      They keep calling it a “hush money” trial when it’d be much more accurate to call it a fraud trial. It’s not illegal, AFAIK, to pay someone not to say something as long as that thing itself isn’t an illegal act.
