Trump has a town hall hosted by CNN tomorrow night.
Does anyone think this will move the needle for MAGA fans?
@dylsexicbleu, how do you like them apples you sniveling little turd?
No chance. They’re too far down the rabbit hole now. They just deflect and alter the narrative to suit themselves

It's Manhattan, 80-90% Democratic. It would be like expecting Emmett Till to get a fair trial in Selma, Alabama back in the day. Still, this was a civil trial not a criminal one. Trump, still 22 out of 22 in unproven criminal allegations.
….imagine a politician standing for High Office after being found guilty of such charges, albeit in a Civil case. Now imagine that man standing for the most powerful political position on the planet.
Real problems in the US but political values and standards at an all time low around the world. Maybe Trump has set a new low bar.

That decision illustrates exactly what the problem is with these sorts of cases being dealt with in civil court.
How have they decided that they can't prove he raped her but could prove he sexually assaulted her? The two things rest on exactly the same evidence.
My assumption would be the “preponderance of evidence” standard - that Trump‘s own words and the trestimony of other women who accuse him of assaulting them in additions to Caroll’s claim established a pattern of behavior of sexual assault that the jury believed. But that Caroll was the only one who accused him of rape and they presumably believe she did not clear that bar in terms of evidence she provided.
However I assume we will here details from jurors themselves as to why they made that distinction.
