I doubt it would. But I’ll look at the evidence from both sides. I’m sure the defense and prosecutors will bring forth new evidence, new arguments that none of us have an inkling of. Also, I’ll be watching Dershowitz and Turley. Neither have been Trump supporters but both make the best cogent arguments on the law, even when I don’t always agree with them.

Wait a second, if Trump is convicted in one of these cases by a jury of his peers then you would still plan on voting for him? If he has to campaign from prison then you would still regard him as the very best man for you to vote for? Why? There are so many other potential candidates running. And as terrible as Joe Biden is, he's really not as bad as a man who would be convicted of something like leading a conspiracy to steal an election or who illegally stole classified documents?

I mean come on Fred, it's one thing to believe that the prosecutions are politically-motivated, but you're going to believe that the jurors looking at the evidence who convict him are all politically motivated too and that therefore everyone who likes Trump now should just keep liking and supporting him?

Let’s wait and see how it unfolds.

Always! I’m glad we can have an open exchange of ideas.

And you see, Fred, - that open-mindness I known so well you have from getting to know you over the years - that's why I don't see you as a real, authentic "Trump Supporter." I see you simply as a conservative choosing to vote for Trump at the moment for various ideological reasons. And that is something that we can have reasonable, friendly discussions and disagreements about. It's the close-minded hardcore people on both sides - yes, including the extreme left anti-Trump side also - that are the problem.

Reasonable people can still have reasonable discussions and remain friends and professional colleagues.
