There’s that adage in sports: It’s a long season. Politically speaking, Trump and his team know this—the Democrats do not. The latter thinks one home run or touchdown is the game’s end. Nope. There are multiple innings or quarters in a national campaign. It’s a marathon, not a sprint—and Donald Trump’s come-from-behind legal victory last week proved that the Teflon Don moniker holds. In other words, last week was the Democrats’ 28-3 moment.
After multiple indictments and four trials slapped against the former president, the Left thought they had Trump dead to rights. Ultimately, the federal cases headed by Special Counsel Jack Smith were either delayed or dismissed outright. The classified documents case, tossed this summer, is now being appealed. The Georgia case is on hold due to the ethical quandaries encountered by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her team. The hush money trial, which was viewed as a clown show from the get-go, won’t sentence Trump until after the election.
