While it seems the trial will not be televised, there will probably be live coverage by a number of news orgs, and why not? It ticks so many boxes - Politician infidelity while your wife is pregnant(!) - especially the hypocrisy of one so widely supported by conservative evangelicals-, porn star, hush money/election fraud. And both Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen are ready and willing to testify. (Geez, I hope they do!)
Is it going to make Deplorables change their vote to Biden? I doubt it, but it might be souring enough to lead them to stay home in November. I don’t really see any Trumpian upside to the trial. Even if they sneak a Trumpie on to the jury and it ends up hung despite clear evidence of guilt - even with Don incessantly wailing in ALL CAPS about “election interference”, and how badly he’s being treated and how unfair it all is - it’s gonna be ugly.
