The indictment of former President Donald Trump is a moment — there have been many — at which to pause and state explicitly that Republicans should turn decisively away from him and not renominate him to be president of the United States.

This is not because the indictment secured by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, an irresponsible and odiously partisan Democrat, stands even cursory scrutiny. It does not. One might even regard it as comically weak if the stakes were not so high for the 2024 election and the rule of law — and the bad joke were not made at our country's expense.

Shameful as Bragg's prosecutorial overreach is, however, it is largely beside the point in assessing whether Trump should be considered for the presidency. It is relevant only because it points again to the former president's sleazy character, which has already besmirched the top office in the nation and should be allowed to do so no more.

We had four years of Trumpian chaos and degradation between 2017 and 2020. These were accompanied by several good policies, but it is possible to get the latter without being obliged to accept any more of the former. Whatever made it necessary for Trump to pay Daniels $130,000 for her silence, he has clearly not learned any restraint from the consequences of his error.

The renewed prominence of Daniels and Trump's payment to her is also a good moment for his supporters who swooned for him over the past seven years to rethink their allegiance and turn away to a more suitable political leader. It is not that all leaders should be saints but that voters supposedly guided by such a moral compass should steer away from a man who flouts their principles when other more upstanding candidates are likely to be just as effective.

Great day for Trump! 2024!

Only in Traitor Joe's US could this happen.

What are you talking about….this is a magnificent day for trump….Fat Alvin just solidified his 2024 win…… it’s a bad day for America seeing the justice system is being weaponized against those who don’t agree with corruption and lunacy

You're half right.

There is not one GOP leader openly denouncing Trump nor is there one calling for the GOP to dump Trump and leave his cult behind. Therefore the entire GOP are already a”cult where once there was a respectable and principled political party.”

Bad day for the country. Trump’s poll numbers are going to skyrocket. Gonna be really difficult for the left when he’s elected the 47th. President.

Trump will be re-elected by 20%...

We’ll see if it’s a bad day for Trump. Maybe not…

the left stays winning!
