>why all these people running for President (to avoid being prosecuted)
It's just an optics thing… "I'm being persecuted because you're afraid I'll win!"
Yes, I mean persecuted, not prosecuted.
You're falling for the media myth that these nitwits represent a substantial segement of the population.
Yes, outspoken, but that's a far cry from being a major segment of the population.
The fact of the matter is that the media makes them more than they are. If they
actually had the presence you think (and the media portrays), Trump would
not be the President right now.
The thing with activists is that they are loud, and activists. They make their
presence known when everyone else is lethargic. Once the media begins
reporting honestly, it will be obvious how small they really are.
