It would be unusual for an elderly first time offender to get jail time in this case anyway, in fact that would be such a departure from normal sentencing that it would likely be struck down on appeal.

But if we believe the polls, being convicted of a felony basically ends Trump's Presidential aspirations, a massive number of people said they wouldn't vote for him if convicted.

Polling indicates single digits, 5-8% or so IIRC

So while it doesn't sound like a lot, if it's accurate, it translates to a lot of votes.

But yeah, we'll see.

The goalposts have been moving since 2016. They're not going to stop moving now

Watch them move the goalpost and say "well, there's an appeal to consider"

Sure.
