I love me some Trump, but as I said when he announced this is a legal maneuver not a political one.
The only way Trump is the guy for Rs is if we do as in the past and put complete schmucks up for consideration. GOP actually has some good, experienced folks throwing their hat in and some of them even tick those EEOC boxes Libs love to scream about.
Trump is working to minimize the cases against him and use campaign funds for his defence. Plus the fact it keeps him name percolating and people attacking him is an added bonus that gives him a near permanent partial stiffy.
My opinion of course, but its what makes most sense given the lay of the land and his age.
