    These trials could have started far sooner. But they were intentionally delayed by Democrats.

    The Democrats purposely did not prosecute Trump in time because they do not want anyone else than Trump to be running.

    Imagine if they couldn’t “But Trump” right now.

      You give the Dems too much credit. It’s easier to believe they’re weak and ineffectual.

        Huh no of course not. They literally propped up Trump in 2016

        So to take Bush down, Clinton’s team drew up a plan to pump Trump up. Shortly after her kickoff, top aides organized a strategy call, whose agenda included a memo to the Democratic National Committee: “This memo is intended to outline the strategy and goals a potential Hillary Clinton presidential campaign would have regarding the 2016 Republican presidential field,” it read.

        “The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more ‘Pied Piper’ candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party,” read the memo.

        “Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to: • Ted Cruz • Donald Trump • Ben Carson We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to [take] them seriously."
