    **Episode Intro: ** Welcome back to the Modern Federalist Podcast, where we discuss the pressing issues confronting Americans today. In this Special Edition, we're dissecting the recent conviction of President Trump for felonies in Manhattan.

    **Prologue: ** In our prologue segment, we'll provide an overview of this special edition, focusing on the landmark conviction of President Trump in Manhattan and its implications.

    **Legal Issues and Appeal: ** Next, we'll break down the myriad legal issues likely to feature prominently in Trump's appeal, shedding light on the complexities of the case. Reading material: New York Intelligencer, Turley's Hill piece, Turley quoted on Fox News, The Ghost of John Adams, What Comes Next.

    **Trump's Resilience and Base: ** Despite the conviction, Trump's base remains steadfast. We'll discuss how Trump's resilience as a candidate continues to shape the political landscape.

    **Unconventional Wins: ** Even amidst legal battles, Trump's unconventional approach seems to be resonating. We'll explore this phenomenon and its impact on current polling trends. More Reading material: NR.

    **RFK Jr.'s Campaign: ** Shifting gears, we'll check in on RFK Jr.'s nascent campaign, predicting its influence to mirror past elections rather than heralding a new era. Think 1980 or 2000.
