2020 Election,Hush Money Trial,Stormy Daniels

Donald Trump's conviction in the hush money trial in New York gives him another line to help push the conspiracy theory he's been promoting to his supporters all along.

When politicians are investigated for alleged crimes, even arrested or charged, there's a temptation to think their career is over.

His most devoted supporters will not question the statement he made outside court on Friday that: "This was a disgrace, this was a rigged trial."Outside the same court last year, as the first criminal indictment to name a former United States president was unsealed, his supporters were already calling this a "witch-hunt".

There are people who have always voted Republican, who believe in small government and the right to homeschool their children. They're politically motivated enough to get out and vote.For some, though, a vote for Trump was the first time they ever voted Republican.History has been made in New York. It could shape America's future

Trump's "super supporters" will not be deterred by his conviction, but he needs every possible vote to get over the line in November, and being a felon is likely to impact some of the other voter groups.The pollsters will be busy putting surveys into the field that take stock of sentiment towards Trump now there is a verdict.

Forced to endure five weeks of painstaking testimony inside a drab Manhattan courthouse, a dozen New Yorkers were drawn into a House-of-Cards world of scandal, skulduggery and sex.In the same poll, 25 per cent of Republican voters said they would be more likely to vote for Trump if he was found guilty.
