    I guess his team has so much appealing to do, they've lost count.

    They probably are also busy making all the suckers/followers pay enough to cover the $600M he owes so far in various damages including interest, in order to even make appeals possible.

    They always have been, they're just disguised as conservatives.

    They have been trying to get the RNC to pay for some of it. However, it is clear that campaign donations to his PAC are being used, which means less money for his re-election campaign. So maybe not all a bad thing?

    Yeah, I read about it. It seems like it's even illegal to use money that way?

    Well, it surely looks like he's in deep shit now, so it certainly would be best for the USA (and therefore the rest of the Western world) if he will be the GOP alternative this November. A certain win for democracy in the US.

    Once upon a time, I am sure it was illegal. With things like The Clinton Foundation, I think those waters got a little muddy.

    Did you mean to say if there will be a different GOP alternative this November? I don't see how someone winning who is in legal trouble, both real and made-up, would be a "win for democracy" in any country.
