You’re a presidential candidate. The leading candidate in the race, the guy you have to dethrone to get anywhere, has just been indicted on federal criminal charges. How do you respond?
If your answer is any of the following:
A) Cite the completely unrelated legal troubles of the current president’s son as if they’re relevant.
B) Refer to the alleged “weaponization” of the federal government.
C) Call for criminal defendants to be able to move their court cases from the location where the alleged crimes were committed if that location happens to be Washington, D.C.
D) I’m suing the Justice Department.
Then congratulations, you’re ready to be a Republican presidential candidate!
