Right, so risk the statute of limitations expiring and allow him years and years of freedom? That's not a good idea either. It was right to prosecute him, those prosecutions were not political and should not be political. They were due legal process and followed the right timelines for discovery and allowing the defendant to build their defence.No, he should have been held accountable after this election, by going after him before the election he's got absolutely nothing to lose and has ramped everything up.
He was trailing Desantis in polls before the court cases really started and riled up his base, everytime he appears in court his polling goes up
DeSantis was ahead in polls until people heard DeSantis talk with his silly little voice and his nothingness. If anything, DeSantis is an even bigger naked Emporer than Trump is. But Trump had a cult behind him. Nikki Haley's candidacy was real, but also flawed because it was forever in the shadow of the person the Republican party wanted as the nominee. Trump had the support of the donors, the ferver from his cultists never waned and the elected Republicans were still bent at the knee for him. You can pretend it was the legal consequences which has resulted in Trump being the nominee if you want, but it's a wrong and bad take which is divorced from the reality of the situation.
Logically, Trump should have been finished after the insurrection. But there's nothing logical about his candidacy right from the start. He's a cult leader, not a Political figure.
