(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)

But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he'd start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?

Though at this point, it looks like Trump will get the nomination with no real competition from DeSantis or anyone else, regardless of going to jail.

Trump fleeing and some states striking him from the ballot will enrage his supporters and make them not vote for who the actual nominee is.

I think the fleeing outcome harms the Republican chances more.
