If you had asked me only a few weeks ago, I would have said "no way, that the Democrats are not that crazy." Not to incarcerate him pre-trial, nor to actually imprison him of he is ever found guilty of anything.
But, I just finished paying off a bet that I made based on my belief that the Democrats would not be crazy enough to indict the frontrunner of the opposition party. So, I'm not so sure now about their tenuous hold on sanity.
There is no way they can reasonably tell any judge that Trump is a flight risk, so how could they incarcerate him? With an indictment likely coming over the January 6th riot, I heard a theory floated on the radio that the DC prosecutors might try to put him in with the Jan 6th protesters and others. The excuse they would use, would be that Trump incited one riot, so if left free, he could incite another one.
Very thin, but so is the Mar-a-Lago documents case and that did not slow them down.
It would certainly be a bad political strategy. Putting Trump in jail would further galvanize his supporters and also win over many undecides who would be shocked at seeing such a banana republic style move. They may think they could get lucky and Trump get shanked or hang himself in his cell. But that would leave them to run Biden against DeSantis, which would be a probable loss to a guy more radical than Trump.
