Donald Trump has been found guilty of using a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

It marks a perilous political moment for Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination, whose poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.

      Convicted felons can run for office. They just can’t vote in the election.

      I desperately want him to lose Florida by one vote. His own.
