Meh, just another handjob for the TDS crowd.

However, I skimmed over an article yesterday where some pundit hypothesized that Trump will eventually make a plea deal to avoid further prosecution by agreeing not to run. There’s a possibility that could happen with further incentive from states attempting to keep him off the ballot. The pundit also said that would clear a path for Chris Christie, which would be fine by me.

Totally disagree with the pundit.  There is no way the plea would include an offset Not to run for President.  This would totally undermine the entire judicial system as it would appear the indictment was about preventing Trumps bid for president.   Any plea deal would most likely simply include that in exchange for Trump pleading guilty, he would avoid jail time.  That said, Trump would never accept that knowing he'll have a trail by jury hearing with a Trump favorable Miami judge presiding over the case.
