The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Defenseless

 Trump's day in court was largely an unstated admission that he has no legal defense. Some of it is his aspirational mafioso personality, but a lot of it is that he has no real legal defense in any of his cases. His only chance is to run out the clock, shoot for mistrials and hope he gets re-elected so he can make his myriad crimes go away.

As Aaron Blake notes above, this should make for close reading by the other judges overseeing all of Trump's other trials (OK, not Cannon, she's a hack). Trump is going to come in, behave like the thundering, suppurating asshole that he is and hope he can get a mistrial, which will push things off until after he (hopefully for him) gets re-elected.

Yeah, I've seen the Times poll. I do think a lot of those young people come home if it's Biden v Trump. But I know it will happen if he get convicted of a crime.
