Of course Trump is guilty. He's literally on a hot mic boasting of sexual assault. His video deposition did more to sway the jury against him than anything Carroll's lawyers did. Being Trump, he was incapable of doubling down on "If you're a celebrity they let you do it."
Unless the institutional GOP finds some way to ban him from the primary ballot, he will be the nominee. People have to stop thinking that the old rules apply to the GOP polity. Look, I hope they do find a way to bar him from the ballot. He will then start a vanity third party campaign that will guarantee Biden another four years. Which is why they won't do that.
The institutional GOP is locked in an abusive relationship with Trump, sure, but more so Trump voters. We knew Trump was a sexual predator in 2016 and it didn't matter then. Why should it matter now?
