That's a sharp observation - that a presidential campaign can be suddenly extinguished in a burst of human emotion. Besides Howard Dean's scream and Hope Hicks' sobs, there was Sen. Ed Muskie's angry denunciation of publisher Wm. Loeb for printing a false story depicting the candidate as a racist during the 1972 NH presidential primary. Frontrunner Muskie appeared on the steps of The Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader on a snowy day: some reporters thought he cried, but Muskie claims it was just melting snow on his tired, angry face. In the end, as Muskie later admitted, his emotional outburst eventually sank his campaign.
Good to read. I’ve heard other commentators say that Hicks’ comment that Trump was concerned about his family could be viewed as providing an alternative motive for the hush money payment, but you straightened that out.
These court proceedings have obvious POLITICAL significance, but nothing heard in court is fairly deemed "political." It is "legal." I am grateful that Jonathan's narratives have focused on the impact the testimonial evidence may have on how the jury might decide the case.
We can only await the outcome. I think Donald Trump's lawyers are doing their jobs as best they can.
Keep up the good work I like your commentary, now I have to get off the subject congratulations to your new addition to the family and one other question is Jennifer still around?
I think it's finally hitting her how absolutely wrong and out of line they all were acting while Trump was in office!! And she was part of it so that's why I think she's crying. Remember she actually resigned way before he lost the election.
Great commentary! Keeps us in the know. Front row center no smell😁 so anxious to see how testimonies play with the jury👏👏👏👏

"Besides John Dean's scream..."; that would be Howard Dean, as John Dean did his screaming during Watergate.
