The House managers have done a good job putting the events of January 6 in historical context and connecting the dots between the rioters and Trump. They also appear to be winning the public relations battle. Now it is up to Trump’s attorneys.
They cannot avoid selling out the extreme right. Expect plenty of denunciations of the rioters. You can also expect plenty of partisan attacks on Democrats for allegedly doing the same thing, which is patently false. When it’s all done, Trump will have lost some support on both the left and the right of the GOP, but not nearly enough to be convicted. Will he retain enough fans to be the frontrunner in 2024, if he really wants the nomination? Probably.
