Trump’s Jan. 6 indictment won’t scare his base, but it won’t win him any extra votes either

Aug 1, 2023, 6:05 PM | Updated: 6:58 pm

John Curley and Shari Elliker react in real-time to the breaking news of former President Donald Trump’s latest indictment. Federal prosecutors have alleged election interference leading up to the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Curley even stated his belief that Democrats actually want Trump to win the Republican nomination.

“[Democrats] are going to give everybody the impression, as best they can, cherry picking these polls to make him seem like, ‘no, no this is it. This is going to be the [Republican’s] guy.’ And it will create momentum behind him,” Curley said. “They, the Democrats, the media, want Trump to be the candidate because they think he’ll be the easiest guy to beat.”

Listen to the rest of the discussion in the video attached above.
