Should Trump be charged with crimes?

My question is not about whether or not he is guilty of crimes, but whether it would be good for the country as a whole to charge him even if there is ample evidence. I certainly see where there is enough evidence of crimes, but considering 40% of the country is still swallowing his #$%#, I think having him "tried" in the court of public opinion may be the better outcome in the long run. I fear that charging him will only strengthen his support.

I think about anyone that cares about America would like to see trump charged and tried. I mean how do the Oath Keepers go to jail for doing what they were told to do..but the one that told them to do it gets a pass? There we're civil Rico laws pass just for this situation. But will he go to trial.......maybe a 1 in a million chance. The evidence for a president to go to prison has to be sooooooo overwhelming that no appeal will ever clear him of it. We think it's there from watching the Jan 6th hearings but legally..........maybe not so much.

But that said.............he's 76 years old. The trial here that matters is convicting him in the minds of voters and I think that verdict is sealed by a big enough majority to make sure he don't get elected...if he does get stupid and runs again. If he does...and loses again.... he'll be 80 before he can try again and that means age alone will mean he's a dead hope for the cult. IF everyone that turned out to vote against him last time does it again............he's dead.
