That, and timing of course. It's a political stunt. They could have pushed for this two years ago after they raided his home. 

Doing it six months before the election just reeks of fear and with the intent to sabotage his campaign. People see right through it now. From all angles. All parties.

You may not like the man, nor agree with him. However, there's a growing amount of support for him now after that stunt, not just from his day one crowd in 2016.

Yeah, I think everything you typed here is inaccurate. 

We can list dozens of instances of left angled politicians and appointees undergoing investigation directed by conservatives. This is not a one sided weaponization. That is 100% horse [BLEEP]. 
Those investigations into the left just don't always end up in successful prosecution and this one did, because the jackass is so plainly guilty. 

It is very basic law and order and the clown painted a GIANT bullseye on his forehead by running all over the country bashing the state of NY. No shock a NY prosecutor decided he'd be easy picking. And he was. 

He very, VERY literally [BLEEP] around and found out. 

The timing of the investigation, prosecution and trial was a drawn out process that was largely not susceptible to manipulation of schedule. Rather - it simply was not delayed by a right wing judge or held up by an ethics probe like the other two prosecutions this convicted felon is still waiting to face. Those two cases are more dire in nature and the dirtbag is lucky they are held up. 

There is no growing support. The opposite in fact.

A poll just came out stating that 18% of Republicans agree with the verdict of the trial. 

His numbers against Biden haven't budged other than to drop 1/2%.

All this did was rile up his base which was already in the national minority as proven by the last free, fair and certified presidential election. Being a convicted felon may rile those already entrenched, but it isn't bringing new support from the center. Don't believe a few purely anecdotal social media posts. There will be a half dozen new polls to compare for validity soon enough. 

This election will show little difference from the last aside from Trump losing millions upon millions of female moderate and conservative votes due to his new harder stance on abortion and birth control. Compared to 2016 - one-third of American voting age women now live in a state that in some way inhibits their right to make decisions about their reproduction. 
How many of them do you think are just gonna' be OK with that? 
(hint: they didn't vote to lose those rights in their states - and now they can actually be heard from at the ballot box - they will be heard) 

Those looking for a red wave are absolutely [BLEEP] kidding themselves. 

He'll probably lose the popular vote by 8% or more.
