    I mean, duh.

    He should have dropped out when he was found to have raped someone.

    Hell, he should have dropped out when the “grab them by the pussy” tape came out. How did that work out?

    Go vote for Biden if you can, is my point here.

      Morally should he drop out? Yes

      Politically should he drop out? Honestly, not sure. I genuinely believe that him being found guilty will not negatively affect his supporters. Somehow I reckon it might even get him more if he can spin it right - talk about it being some sort of conspiracy directly from Biden to suppress right wing voters or some shit. He’s such an effective figurehead that I don’t think other republican candidates could compete with his pull.

        Yes, but they were going to vote for him anyways. Trump needs to win more moderates/alt leftists. His betting odds (which are generally much more reliable than polls) dropped 3% after his verdict landed: https://electionbettingodds.com/
