> it's hard to overstate how much his conviction riled up his base and persuaded moderates to flip.

I don't buy it, tbh.

I truly do not think that is conviction gained him any votes. I just don't think it lost him any. Anybody that claims "I'm voting for him because he's being charged with crimes for political reasons" was already going to be voting for him to begin with.

Moderates that vote Trump are simply low-information voters.
