Liberals are being way too cynical about Trump's conviction

Raw Story  

Friday was a very bad day for Donald Trump. Bill Pruitt, a producer on Donald Trump’s reality TV show The Apprentice, published a piece accusing Trump of using the n-word to denigrate a finalist on the show — and to justify not letting them win. Bill Pruitt knows that coming forward is going to mean he gets death threats, and possibly worse than death threats, from Trump’s neo-Nazi fanbase. The jurors who delivered their unanimous guilty verdict have to know that Trump’s fans, and possibly Trump himself, will try to find their names and addresses. Most of Trump’s supporters know pretty well who he is, and either tolerate it for partisanship’s sake or are enthusiastic about his thuggery and criminality.
