Just rig the election like they did the last time, and just have the same media circling of the wagons and hiding of evidence, while courts and judges throw out the cases then spend the next year exclaiming how Trump is a sore loser and all his supporters threaten "our democracy".
In 2020 there was a fog of war where the establishment chanted "most secure election ever" until it was too late; two months isn't enough time to prove a stolen election.
But in 2024 the proof will be 2020; about 2/3 of voters now say 2020 was stolen and that's been increasing over time since 2020.
These increasingly desperate moves reinforce what everybody now knows: Trump will be the next President or the election was stolen. There won't be a period of obfuscation and delay until Jan 6. A day or so after the election it'll either be President-elect Trump, civil war, or the end of the Republic (either eventual or sudden).
It not about the election. It's about humiliating the man that dared to oppose them.
It's especially hilarious because they had a plan on the books to insurrect Trump if the rigging failed. They even bragged about it. Any candidate that fails to acknowledge this is part of the kayfabe.
The worthless GOP can't die fast enough.
The probably figure assassinating him makes him a martyr. That rarely goes the way you want it to.
Same thing with throwing him in jail. So I think that is all show.
If they just steal the election again, they at least think he will go away.
And DeSantis is permanently off my list.
Anybody that plays by the Democrats' unconstitutional rules is no leader in my book.
That's retarded.
How is not removing yourself from the ballot "playing by their rules"? It's literally giving the dems what they want, conservatives off the ballot!
Just because Ron isn't always licking Trump's choad like VP wannabe Vivek doesn't make him a bad guy. The ballot removal pledge is just empty virtue signaling, meaning nothing.
Cause you can caucus in CO to get Trump back in the ballot
Colorado GoP already publicly said if Trump is not allowed on the ballot, they're changing from a primary to a caucus to get him back on. So, regardless of what happens, Trump will be a candidate in the primary.
That leaves the other candidates with two options:
DeSantis chose option 2.
Democrats want CO to nominate anybody but Trump, not to nominate nobody.
If CO nominated nobody then the democrats gain nothing; Trump is still nominated by the same percent of delegates, they can't say there's more dissention the party, and they look like anti-democracy crybabies. It's a lose-lose for them.
But if CO (and then GA, CA) went for DeSantis they say the party is divided and Trump is unpopular etc and it's a win-lose for them (dems still look like losers, but also have sullied Trump).
Well it would have shown that he is a teamplayer at least.
Its amazing how Desantis got his start up as this up and coming new figure standing up to the Woke and the Left and following in the void left by Trump's leaving.
And as soon as he reached a level of popular that was sustainable, it has been nothing but cucking out and the same Generic Right Wing Politician actions ever since.
🙄
Totally ignoring this is what sunk Lying Ted. It was pretty even in 2016, till we hit Colorado who's structure at the time allowed Ted to sweep in and secure their delegates. His cheerleaders crowed that it was "politically savvy" but the average citizen hated it because it was what your average politician would have done.
Vivek's statement was stupid and just pandering to Trump.
the decision has been stayed & almost certainly repealed by SCOTUS
they want conservatives off the ballot, how is it winning by literally giving the enemy what they want?
DeSantis says he (obviously) opposes the Colorado decision. Neither he nor this supporter of his replying are doing anything wrong. What's really tone deaf is acting like anything but anal rimming of Trump as being anti-Trump.
I don't know why everyone is saying it's a slam dunk repeal by the Supreme Court. They already flushed cases having to do with elections, at least one from 2020 because they won't get involved in a particular state's process.
It's stupid to rely on the Supreme court to side with republicans on anything. Roberts is still a justice.
Glad to see someone have a reasonable take on this.
It should not be a requirement in the GOP to always prostrate themselves to Trump like that clown Vivek always does.
Why is Vivek even running if all he does is suck Trump off? He should drop out and just endorse Trump then.
Unless they're insane, everyone but DeSantis isn't running thinking they have a chance of winning. Vivek is clearly running for VP, as well as building his profile for a future run that might be successful. At least he's bringing some interesting discussion and ideas.
I don't know if Christie and Haley are just running for attention or they want to setup a book deal or a cable news talking head gig.
Post archive of source you faggot.
This ought to advance Ramaswamy on the list of Trump's VP picks.
They can all withdraw from the Colorado ballot, and it will make no difference.
The Trump thing is weird because it's never happened before.
Normies operate entirely by aesthetics and vague impressions of social norms. They'll accept Trump being removed as long as there's some (false) consensus that he's a criminal, and ignore that Colorado became a one-party state with that excuse. My take is, Republicans choosing to pull themselves out in direct response to Democrats is a play meant to put the responsibility for Colorado being one-party back in the hands of Dems, in hopes that it will put the centrists in a difficult position by highlighting how it was an aggressive capture, not bureaucracy operating as expected.
I don't know that it matters insofar that Colorado was going to vote Dem anyways, but that also means they don't have much to lose by trying. However, it's definitely doomed to fail if somebody breaks ranks.
Acceleration always matters.
It's not symbolic, that's the thing. Perhaps he wasn't going to win. We'll never know now because the left has decided that they get to tell you who you're allowed to vote for.
This is an indictment of democracy itself, not to mention a casus belli for a full blown civil war.
I know you aren't old enough to remember the Soviet Union, but this is what it looked like.
That's what I said. All it does it make Colorado look bad for not giving him a chance.
