How Many Trump Convictions Will Wake Up The Voters?

This chart reflects the results of a Reuters / Ipsos Poll -- done between December 5th and 11th of a nationwide sample of 4,411 adults, with a 1.8 point margin of error.

Donald Trump is facing about 91 criminal charges in several different courts. Yet many polls are showing a very close race between Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. According to this poll, Trump would lose big if convicted of a crime -- with 59% saying they would not vote for him.

That has me thinking the voting public seems to have a very short memory. Hasn't Trump already been convicted in several courts of criminal conduct?

A court found that Trump (and his sons) created a fraudulent charity which benefitted only his sons and himself. They were fined and barred from creating another charity.

A court found Trump guilty of creating a fraudulent school. He was ordered to refund the money paid into it by "students".

A court convicted Trump of sexually abusing (raping) E. Jean Carroll, and then defaming her. He was ordered to pay millions in damages.

A court has found Trump guilty of fraud by inflating his property value for insurance and loans, and then deflating it for tax purposes. That court is currently considering how much Trump will have to pay for his guilty conduct.

I will grant you that all of the above convictions were in civil courts, but he could not have been convicted and fined if none of the actions he engaged in were crimes. Fraud is a crime, and so is sexual abuse (rape). Being convicted in a civil court instead of a criminal court doesn't make fraud or sexual abuse any less a crime.

Trump may or may not be convicted in a criminal court for one or all of the 91 indictments he's facing, and it may or may not happen before the November election. But it should not matter. We already know that Trump is a criminal, because he has broken the law.

We have already seen enough. Those who do not want a criminal in the White House should be voting against Trump. His criminal conduct makes him a criminal, whether found true in a civil or criminal court.
