Red states react - Utah says there will be no primary 'ballots' but caucuses - to shield Trump from potential bad ruling by SCOTUS.
There is talk of purple Florida and red states barring Biden for allowing criminals & terrorists through the border.
Red states cannot bar Biden; courts will have to do it. There is nowhere in our constitution that says such, but the 14th Amendment is clear, like night and day. I suspect the conservative Supreme Court will uphold Colorado's ruling.
Trump went to court 60 times, challenging election results and losing 60-0. US courts only rely on law/constitution and facts, not hearsay!
On another note, Fani Willis, Tanya Chuktan, and Jack Smith will bury Trump, and down the road, he will be bankrupt like Rudy when all the lawsuits come down!
Beating 30 counts is hard, but beating 91 is impossible; either way, he slices it, Trump is jail-bound! Raw fucked totally!
91 indictments - all that matters is who is the next POTUS. Bankruptcy, jail, etc are pointless if it comes after Nov24. The more the indictments, the more popular Trump becomes even among independents. The polls and donations indicate this.
So I think Trump indictments are BAD for Biden/Dems - and GOOD for Trump.
Colorado ban - yes I agree very likely SCOTUS will uphold the Colorado ban - and the other states with ongoing cases will equally ban him. This will bury him. I also agree the few tit-for-tat cases against Biden will be rejected.
BUT - a very big but - this will not help Biden/Dems. For one Trump's base will be raging red and vengeful - nothing drives turnout better than wrath. For two Trump will likely endorse one of his competitors - it's easy to conceive they all running with this in mind. 👀
Who would a banned Trump endorse?
Chris Christie - the most liberal of the lot - former blue New Jersey governor. He is the least popular of the candidates and has been viciously anti-Trump so I see little chance of an endorsement.
Vivek Ramaswamy - going by his politics he is only a moderate conservative. His Trump-worshipping rhetoric has not yielded anything in fact he is doing worse than before; Nikki Haley has overtaken him and he is only better than Christie. I see little chance of an endorsement from Trump despite the bootlicking.
Ron DeSantis - rockstar governor - under him Florida credit rating has bounced from AA+ to AAA - while the US has slid in the reverse. Republicans took both state legislative houses under DeSantis, and he had 60%+ victory in 2020. He has stuffed the state courts with conservative judges, passed anti-LGBT, anti-migration, anti-China laws. DeSantis is really another Ted Cruz hardline conservative and would struggle to beat Biden. He was almost running mano o' mano with Trump only months ago until Trump accused him of betrayal and started hammering him hard. Now he is distant second at 12%. His chance at Trump endorsement is only better than Christie's.
Nikki Haley - worst warmongering neocon and most rabid Zionist you ever met - she would pour billions of cash and weapons into Zelenskyy, Taiwan, Israel... Tough as nails too and the kind of persona Trump likes. She has been only mildly critical of him and was one of his big endorsers as South Carolina governor in 2016, then his faithful ambassador to UN. Her polls, cash and endorsements have been soaring now she is head- to- head with DeSantis. I see Trump endorsing Nikki Haley... cause they align on policy and character... God help the world!
Pardon the long insha 🙂 but I don't see Biden's chances as so much greater than Trump's. Nikki Haley would enjoy Trump endorsement and the women's vote.
But hey, a day is a year in politics.
