Joe Biden and his supporters have corrupted our legal system and used it to try to defeat their leading political opponent. President Trump\u2019s real crime was leading Joe Biden in the polls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said, \u201cHow long can our Republic survive once partisans have taken over the judicial process? This verdict will tragically undermine Americans\u2019 confidence in impartial justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McLaughlin agreed and said voters could now be concerned that they will be next and said it is why the campaign will push harder to get Trump elected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s now up to the American people to reject the Biden corruption and vote to elect President Trump. If Joe Biden can do this to President Trump, he can railroad any American. This has to end,\u201d the pollster said.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), the GOP nominee for governor in the Hoosier State, told Secrets that the public has to demand that politics be pulled out of the courts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis case was a blatant abuse of our justice system as a political weapon by a radical prosecutor trying to interfere in the election, and the verdict proves that this was just a show trial all along. Trump is going to win in November because Americans are sick of these political games,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Figuring out who was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/daily-memo\/3023419\/does-guilty-verdict-change-the-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>hurt or helped<\/a> by the verdict was a key topic in Washington late Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Top Washington communicator <a href=\"https:\/\/rokksolutions.com\/member\/ron-bonjean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Ron Bonjean,<\/a> a co-founder of the bipartisan ROKK Solutions, told Secrets, \u201cYou never want to be a presidential candidate with the title of \u2018convicted felon\u2019 next to your name. Having said that, it will fire up Republicans and some independents that this has gone way overboard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Polls have shown that Republicans do not plan to withdraw support in any conviction. And the buildup of legal cases has appeared to help Trump.<\/p>\n<p>However, the legal troubles for Trump haven\u2019t translated into any surge for Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Bonjean told us that today\u2019s verdict \u201cdoes not change the lack of enthusiasm Democrats have for voting for Biden in November.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Longtime Democratic pollster John Zogby said, \u201cComing at a time when the two candidates are within a point of each other and the president has hit 50% in one poll, Trump will probably drop a few points behind, especially among independents.

That seems to be a cross-cultural fact of anyone with a cultlike following, especially when that following totals tens of millions of voters who, at the end of the day, aren\u2019t so different from you and me, and poll after poll shows a majority of voters have buyers remorse\u201d after the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump&#8217;s allies swiftly criticized a Manhattan jury&#8217;s guilty verdict in his hush money trial, labeling it a Democratic and President Joe Biden&#8217;s scheme to dismantle him and perhaps democracy.
