Whoa, that’s a lot of optimism and wish-casting. Of the three prongs in the triad: abortion, Bragg’s case, and Ukraine, I can only see the first wounding Trump.

In my small circle, my husband and I are the only ones who support aid for Ukraine. Even some fellow D’s oppose it, for reasons I will never understand. They say “Ukraine” with disdain, like it’s distasteful to mention it. Maybe Russian propaganda is taking root. But the point is, it’s no longer a popular position and losing popular support by the day.

Would any jury in America convict Trump of a felony, even in NYC, where Biden won 76% of the vote? Hope springs eternal, but so does doubt.

Abortion sticks. Hard.

Your circle might indeed be small if the only people who support aid to Ukraine are you two. It reminds of the guy who told me he was certain that MAGA represented the majority of Americans, because "everyone I know is MAGA." Well, sure in his little ruby red county. Several grand juries have unanimously recommended Trump for indictment. He has never won a case, even though until now now all those cases were done on a civil basis. Vote percentages are irrelevant.
