Prominent Never-Trumper George Conway has raised the alarm over fears that President Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial is backfiring.
Conway, the ex-husband of former Trump White House advisor Kellyanne Conway, issued the warning during an appearance on CNN.
He said he fears that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s New York trial of Trump is helping his presidential campaign rather than hurting it, as the Democrats intended.
Conway addressed the complaint by Trump and supporters that the trial was keeping him off the campaign trail.
He pointed out that cable news was getting the word out about the trial just as much as campaign events would have.
According to Conway, whose obsession with Trump led to the breakdown of his own marriage, the 45th president’s supporters are wrong for saying how “terrible” the trial is for keeping him from campaigning.
In reality, Conway said, the trial may be keeping Trump focused and not saying “crazy things” that may turn voters off (though probably not).
“The politicians can point here is that ‘Oh, this is terrible says is designed to keep him off the campaign trail.’
“Well, actually, if you look at it politically in my judgment, this is helping him politically in the following sense: it is keeping him from being on television saying all the crazy things, like in Wildwood the other day,” he said.
“That show in Wildwood, New Jersey, I wish it had been broadcast on this network and all the other networks live so everybody could see how crazy he was,” Conway went on.

Conway is referring to Trump’s Wildwood rally on Saturday.
As Slay News reported, the rally in deep blue New Jersey was expected to draw around 40,000 people.
However, the event saw over 100,000 people attend.
Amazingly, Conway also revealed during a separate appearence on CNN that he is taking $1 million from his children’s inheritance and donating it to Democrat President Joe Biden’s campaign in the hopes of stopping Trump.

Conway’s handwringing is cute considering that the powers that be have all but thrown the GOP presidential nominee into the gulag.
They haven’t managed to silence him or diminish his popularity despite their best attempts.
The Democrats’ banana republic tactics are not playing out as intended.
However, they should have known that persecuting and discriminating against a popular politician or public figure often makes them more popular, not less.
Even a conviction is likely to help Trump since most of his supporters will likely see it as an even more blatant attempt to take him down.
Political warfare has its own rules and often does not go as its participants expect.
There may be nothing Trump’s opponents can do to take him down at this point.
He has survived the worst they have thrown at him for the last 9 years and counting.
Nevertheless, Trump only seems to be getting more popular as the election gets closer, not less.
