    None of those cases is going to be decided by November, or even January. He may have a ‘convicted pending appeal’ or two, but those appeals will be postponed until 2028. Hell, even if he loses, I doubt he’ll exhaust his appeals before 2030.

      I’d agree with this if you were saying there’s a clear possibility of this, rather than treating it as a foregone conclusion. Because we don’t know for sure how it’s going to go at this point. But yeah, I don’t feel comfortable counting on these court cases taking Trump out of the equation at all.
