All this says is he is banned from the ballot for the Republican Primary. Which while pretending they are basically the choices for each election really aren't as far as I understand. You can still write in candidates or vote for those not listed by the big two.
So the question is, does this really stop him at all or is it just them trying to pretend he is not allowed to run so people demoralize and accept their "chosen" candidate? Because if so, I'd wager most everyone on his team would know and just write him in anyway, and in doing so endanger the monopoly the primaries have on candidates.

Which raises even more questions. Primaries are not official elections, they are the vehicle that the political parties (which are private entities) use to decide who they will put on the ballot during the actual election. Why and how the actual government got involved in primaries would be a great research project- they really have no business being involved.
Anyone can run in an election, but only one person can run as the official Republican candidate. As a private entity, the party can choose who they make their candidate in any way they want; they can eliminate primaries entirely if they choose to.
So now you've got a judge interfering in who a private entity chooses to endorse as their candidate.
As someone else said, on principle he shouldn't be banned from anything.
As to if it will affect him...not really...unless other states do it too.
Trump is so far ahead he'll still sweep almost/all of the other states in the Republican primary. This is a shit move, but doesn't have an immediate effect outside of the state of Colorado. This doesn't move the national needle much if at all.
Well yes obviously on principle he shouldn't have, that much was obvious on many levels.
I was just curious on if it has an actual effect preventing him from getting voted in, or if it was just an obstacle that makes it slightly harder to vote for him.
Because Trump's supporters are one of the few I think would mostly keep up on his goings on enough to know if they needed to write him in or something, likely fueled by martyrdom rage at them trying to prevent him again.
Question for you more law attuned fags here.

He shouldn’t be banned from Jack shit.
And yes, it does affect his run because voters are idiots, which is why the left love democracy so much.

The Democratic Party in Florida just did and acclaimed Biden.
Cenk was raging about it within the month.
