Another "what have we done?" article

This time by former Clinton advisor Douglas Schoen:
The Colorado ruling undermines the Democrats’ argument that the election is about preserving democracy, strengthens Trump’s position as a political martyr, and allows Trump to have a counternarrative in the general election that the issue is not his behavior, but rather the behavior of the legal system that’s trying to deny him his rights in the context of our American democratic tradition.

Make no mistake and let me be clear: I am not here as a Trump supporter. I will not support his candidacy under any circumstances, but it is absolutely the case that the four indictments, the two civil trials, and now the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court only strengthen Trump in the Republican primary and arguably makes him a more compelling general election candidate, as the evidence appears to validate his narrative about how the American legal system really works.
Democrats and the media (I repeat myself) are now the square parents telling their daughter that they can't date that bad boy.
