Donald Trump's indictment on charges related to the payments of hush money to a porn star breathes new life into his favorite campaign tactic - running as the aggrieved victim of a Democratic-run deep state hellbent on keeping him and his supporters out of power.

Charges, including a criminal conviction, don't stop Trump from running, or even serving as president. It is up to his opponents to make or break Trump's political future if prosecutors can make a charge.
