Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely postponed Donald Trump’s classified documents trial in Florida, citing significant issues around classified evidence that would need to be worked out before the federal criminal case goes to a jury.
Remember when people balked at Trump being president back in 2014/2015 and then were very surprised come 2016 when he won?
Don’t underestimate Trump
Don’t be complacent… complacency is what put him in the white house the first time
Peoples memories are short, the republican propaganda machine is huge, and trump didn’t lose decisively enough to reflect the damage he did to the country
Yes, I remember this. But people have wised up. How do I know? Because Trump lost while being a sitting president, an event that doesn’t happen often. At least in 2015/2016, a lot of people were giving him the benefit of the doubt. And it wasn’t the majority (he lost the popular vote, as we all know.)
Ignore the polls. Look at the trump signs around you. At least where I’m at in Florida, they’re probably at tenth of what they were in 2020. I was a republican in 2020 that voted for Biden and renounced my affiliation after the senate acquitted in the second impeachment. The only demographic that Trump is seeing increased support from is young men, a famously allergic to going to the polls group.
We should fight like hell to make it a landslide but the polls published right now are only there to drive engagement. Democrats have outperformed the polls by 5-10pts in every election since 2020.

And yet the polls pretty consistently show him ahead

called it
Yeah I was wrong about a prediction I made six months ago. Before the Biden trump debate. Before the assassination attempt. Before the conventions.
You really got me.
