He's the only real candidate they have. It's not like they could replace him with someone else at this stage and have any hope of winning.

Nikki Haley was the last other serious GOP candidate, and she dropped out in March, before he was a convicted felon. So they either throw out primary results entirely and just pick someone to be their candidate, or they are stuck with Trump and have been since at least March.

They have better odds with selling the whole "conviction was done as a political attack by Democrats because they know they can't win a fair election" angle, at least if they want a chance at all to win.

if you're progressive your career ends when you say "yeah" a little too enthusiastically. it's not like the hurdles are extremely complicated.

so this "he wasn't technically convicted" comes off a bit too generous. we knew about his crimes, and he's bragged about them. but he's still the only candidate they were going to have anyway.

they're fascists, and they literally tried to overthrow democracy. probably want to try it again. they don't care about the law.
