Talking Points: Trump’s Felony Convictions

• We must make Trump 34 felony convictions the big deal it is.

• We are a country of laws, not men, and even presidents are subject to it.

• Trump was convicted on ALL 34 counts by a jury of his peers, at least half of whom were selected by Trump’s own attorneys.

• He was convicted of falsifying business records as part of a scheme to interfere in an election, which is a felony.

• The defense never presented any evidence and didn’t even put up a case.

• What he was convicted of proves once again what a danger Donald Trump is to democracy. He is running to avoid legal accountability and to punish his enemies. 

• We must tell voters that there is nothing normal about committing 34 felonies. They need to have this repeated, then reinforced. This. Is. Not. Normal.

• A particular segment of voters is deeply uncomfortable with electing a convicted felon as President of the United States. That group isn’t huge, but it is large enough to matter in a very close election.
