(CNN) — Incluso si el expresidente Donald Trump es acusado por tercera vez, es poco probable que su dominio de la carrera republicana por la Casa Blanca se vea afectado debido a sus años de destruir la confianza de sus votantes en las instituciones que desafían su poder.El principal candidato republicano ha maniobrado a sus principales rivales en una posición imposible: un tortuoso acto de equilibrio entre tratar de aprovechar las responsabilidades de Trump sin alejar a sus devotos seguidores en las primarias.Si no critican sus múltiples desventuras, ignoran un factor que podría socavar al posible candidato a las elecciones generales de su partido. Pero hasta ahora no hay señales de que los al menos dos y posiblemente más juicios que se ciernen sobre Trump convenzan a la mayoría de los votantes de las primarias republicanas de que es demasiado arriesgado para postularlo a la presidencia de EE.UU.La habilidad del expresidente para convertir la batalla de las primarias republica...
