Trump Criminal Trials, page-12207

"If Trump is sentenced to 12 months+ in jail are the Republican Party really going to make him their candidate?"

Yup. He's the candidate, sentencing is irrelevant to that.

"If Trump was in jail he couldn't campaign, he couldn't post on social media & he couldn't attend the debates."

Sentence to be enforced immediately? No bail pending appeal?

"If he won he couldn't attend the inauguration & couldn't take meetings or effectively govern for 6 months+"

See above.

"The Republican Party & the US would not only a laughing stock but would in effect be impotent & globally powerless for 6 months+"

The US is already a laughing stock, they have no credibility now.


All good, we'll see what happens sentencing/appeals.
