It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

I don't mean there are 2 ways this can shake out. I mean there are 2 legal barriers in the way. Once the courts rule that Trump can be prosecuted, then the trial date is set for spring. The judge is motivated to hold to that trial date. The prosecutors have their evidence and arguments ready for the jury.

On the possibility of Trump pardoning himself, it's not clear that a President can pardon himself and the supreme court would probably end up having to rule on that.

If Trump is a convicted felon, then he probably can't get enough votes to win, but I don't know, the cult is strong with this one.
