    The apolitical thing would be to not have chants to jail someone at a rally.

    I don’t care about Team Red or Team Blue. I care about Trump acting in a way that I’d consider wildly unacceptable for someone in his position. If the Dems start doing Trumplike shit because he did it first, I am going to be done with Harris too. There are other people out there too for whom the issue with Trump is how he acted. Adopt Trump’s behavior, and the Dems will kill their appeal to them too.

      “People attending a political rally should be apolitical!

        Well, the proper way to put it should probably be to not insert judicial outcomes into politicking, not politics.

          There are 34 convictions in New York State that are waiting on sentencing. That sentencing can - and very arguably should - include incarceration.

          Lock him up.

          He’s literally a felon. He’s facing three more court cases about serious criminal acts directly related to politics and his time in the office he’s seeking. That’s all directly relevant to the political campaign.

            He’s literally a felon who has been convicted of campaign finance fraud. But oh no, don’t mention that since he’s in the midst of another campaign. That would be too political.

          You’re saying that if someone is convicted for election malfeasance and is running in another election, their opponent shouldn’t mention it? Really?

      The apolitical thing would

      Because if there’s one thing a political rally is known for, its being apolitical.

      I mean, it’s a political rally. Wake me up when a judge assigned to one of Trump’s many cases shows up and starts chanting.

      If the Dems start doing Trumplike shit because he did it first

      Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez got convicted on bribery charges. Democrats dropped him like a bag of rocks. Would you say the same thing would happen if a pro Trump senator was indicted?
