Defendants aren’t required to show up for civil suits. He “failed” because the jury erroneously applied other elements( and the Clinton judge let them) to a case that wasn’t originally at issue. It was a defamation case based on rape allegations, to which there wasn’t any evidence.
Either way, Trump lost. He has lawyers up the wazoo and unlimited resources with which to defend himself and he mounted no defense, and he lost.
DeSantis made an unscheduled stop in Des Moines to draw attention to Trump's lame excuse.
Protecting your constituency is the job of the president.....a nasty storm that could have dropped a tornado is a da.nm good reason to cancel a rally.
Doesn't matter what defense was presented when frivolous lawsuits are filed in deep blue areas with a deep blue judge putting their foot on the scale of a judicial process to make it unfair.
I know you believe that. I don't. I have more faith in the justice system than you do. Lately, Trump has lost in blue zip codes. And he has lost when his cases are appealed and heard directly buy judges nominated by Trump himself. When you see that happening, it compels a reasonable person to think it might be about the law and the facts after all. The zip code isn't wrong. The defendant is.
That's not the point of my post. DeSantis made an unscheduled stop in Des Moines to mock Trump's excuse. It does not matter if Trump's excuse was valid or invalid. DeSantis seized an opportunity to mock Trump. DeSantis is starting to show some teeth. If he declares his candidacy, as he is expected to do, look for the gloves to come off. Trump will have a vicious, ruby red, popular Republican critic on his hands.
It’s common knowledge that lawfare is all about filing cases in heavily blue areas where there are heavily blue judges. Lawfare knows they can have the weakest of the weak cases but as long as it’s filed in NY, DC, Fulton County, or other heavy blue areas they can do whatever they want with trampling on judicial process. They’re too cowardice to file in most of the rest of the country. Again, there are Trump appointed judges that are actually picked by Dems.
DeSantis is losing to Trump in his own Ruby Red state by a lot.
That may be, which only reinforces my point. The only way for DeSantis to knock Trump off his perch will be to treat Trump like Trump has treated DeSantis. I may be wrong about DeSantis. He may continue to bend over and take it from Trump. We'll find out after he officially declares. My guess is the claws come out after DeSantis declares, and Trump will double down when he learns his crib-kill attempts failed.
You are using a term I have not heard before. What is "lawfare?"
Lawfare is where you weaponize the law against the person you hate.
Lawfare is a play on words. Like warfare, but with law instead. Weaponizing the legal system by political enemies. But they need to do it in deep blue areas with deep blue judges or the cases go nowhere. The juries, being blue as well, will agree to anything that the blue prosecutors spoon feed them. The blue judges make sure that the blue prosecutors have a distinct advantage in court with their evidence rulings. It’s a blue team operation working in synchronicity.
