Colorado Supreme Court Disqualifies Trump on the 2024 ballot

[phylodog]

The problem with Trump running as an independent is that there is no guarantee the other GOP candidates would drop out to allow it to happen. If the ballot in each state says Biden v. Desantis, or Haley, it will syphon off votes and cause Trump to lose states.

Many Republican voters will hold their nose and vote Trump even if they don't like him if he's going against Biden. I don't think 100% of those people would write his name in or vote independent if another Republican candidate is on the ballot.

If there is a requirement to have an R or a D beside the name to appear on the ballot that needs to be remedied. Being forced to choose between eating a pile of crap or a bucket of rotting garbage isn't much of a choice.

If it's a matter of citizens being incapable of voting for something other than more of the same, well then I guess we get what we deserve.

So will Vivek Ramaswamy demand that the entire debate team remove themselves from the ballot in all those states? It's symbolism without substance, as Rush Limbaugh put it back in the day. Virtue signaling is how we say it today. It just shows me that Ramaswamy is more interested in keeping himself in the news than being a serious candidate for POTUS.

I think the GOP in CO has a better strategy. It's not self-serving. It's not symbolism without substance. Not virtue signaling. But it would be effective because Trump gets to compete in whatever states try to remove him. Make the primary a caucus.

That's what the GOP should do in every state that hates democracy. It nullifies the effects of removing him from the ballot in the race for GOP nomination. Making it a caucus sends a better "**** you" message than Vivek's virtue signaling, where he gets to make the solution all about him.

The CO usurpers of power they don't have, know damn well with their mail-in voting system, there's no way any Republican is gonna win CO anyway. This is about the primaries.It's the same with the other states, because all of them with the exception of MI and AZ, are solid blue. And probably MI will go for some D anyway.

A few of those states would hurt Trump in the general election. Most are blue anyway. But if SCOTUS let's it fly probably every blue state and a few more purple ones will take Trump off the ballot. But the GOP can neuter all of them in the GOP race if they switch to caucus where caucuses can pick anyone.

Will be interesting to see how this affects the GOP contenders' poll numbers. Will this rally people to Trump? Or make some GOP voters rethink things?

If you feel giddy with delight or excitement, you feel so happy or excited that you find it hard to think or act normally.

Some of those commenters are giddy with gladness.

I believe there are a significant number of voters who feel like I do. If the system and the establishment feel so threatened by him as to break any rules (including the constitution) that stands in their way of destroying him, there is no one else I'll vote for. That's what the morons refuse to understand, me and millions of others don't give a **** about Trump the man, he represents the opposite of what the United States Federal Government has become.

A vote for Trump is a vote against the corrupt illusion of a two party system comprised of people who give a **** about anything but power and money. Our government is acting like a third world **** hole, half the population is acting like this is a third world **** hole. I hope they're both ready for the moment the rest of us become convinced and begin to act accordingly.

Like this guy.



Giddy people can apparently be unhinged at the same time.

At this point it's absolutely not about Trump. It's about whether America is a country where the people get to vote, or where the unelected decide elections for us.

It's never been about Trump. It's always been about preventing an outsider from upsetting the money/power apple cart. They've been trying to destroy his chances for going on a decade now and have failed at every turn because they're completely full of ****.

But I don't think they'd try this with other candidates. They feel that with the way people think about Trump, enough people will go along with it because they like the outcome. The other candidates they'd have a harder time because there isn't a derangement syndrome like there is for Trump. Otherwise reasonable people lose their minds with irrational thinking.

That's an untested hypothesis. The fact is they created the hysteria about Trump with one goal in mind and their first attempt failed. He won the election and we all witnessed the politicians, media and big corporations lose their ****ing minds. They followed that up by stealing the next election to prevent him from doing further damage to their criminal activities.

Now they're regularly violating the constitution, charging him in ******** criminal cases with zero evidence while the sitting president is a pedophile who takes bribes from anyone his crack head, whore addicted son brings him and they both escape prosecution from crimes we have irrefutable evidence of.

We have more enemies of the state working from within the state than we have outside of it.

Yep, if those stupid ****ers at the FBI are really about “domestic terror” they would surround DC and work their way in.

It was easy to create the hysteria about Trump because Trump often wrote the stories for them by his own words. All they had to do was selectively edit reality a little and they have created an insurrection.

I don't think they could get away with taking the other candidates off the ballot, because the media probably can't gen up that kind of hype. Those candidates didn't do anything. And frankly, they're better at pushing back on the hype. Both Ramaswammy and DeSantis.

Trump tried the cockamamie scheme with the different slate of electors. It's too easy to claim it was fraudulent, and Trump's actions did not make it easy to argue believably otherwise. People who don't care can see what's up here. But as you've seen from several conservatives on INGO, they're a hard no, because they see Trump as a fraud.

The riot on 1/6 didn't help any. Now, did the Democrats lie about all that? Yes. But Trump enabled them to make it this serious to many voters. They didn't have to fabricate much. With the other candidates, they'd have to fabricate all the details.

It's easier to convince someone that a lie is true when the lie has a lot of truth in it. And that's what Trump provided. Trump needs a trusted "no" man in his inner circle to prevent him from making these unforced errors.

Point is, the political mood will accept Trump being taken off the ballot because they like the outcome. I don't think they'd be as accepting of another GOP candidate because there are no grounds. None of them could remotely be accused of insurrection.
