    He’s still the frontrunner for the Republican nomination by a wide margin, there is no one who is showing like they will compete, even after this most recent indictment. Republicans will still rally behind him if he gets the nomination. Unless his trials are ahead of the election, which they likely aren’t, nothing will change.

      That’s true he’s the front runner now, but these things can change. I feel like we all have such a short memory with politics. I mean, Ted Cruz won the Iowa primary in 2016 and Trump only tied Rubio.

      He’s a frontrunner from lack of options, not from appeal. Other potential candidates are too intimidated knowing that if they run against him, he will shower them with insults and innuendo daily and try to bully them into backing out.
