A lot of people thought she was going to go all the way to the RNC, but I didn’t think she would last that long.
Now the question is what they’ll do if Trump gets convicted. Not every trial will be delayed until after the election.
I still feel like I’m living in crazy town knowing trump is a serious contender for the presidency again.
Eh, don’t believe the polls saying hes in the lead. Everything I’ve read said that there was significant methodology concerns with that poll and it should never been harped on by the media like it has been.
but the media wants controversy, so they glomp onto bad data because it gives them what they want… something to drive eyes to them.
The fact that 30% of the U.S. population thinks this dementia suffering racist idiot is their messiah and will save America from downfall should scare the shit out of you.
Even if he doesn’t win, there’s a non-zero chance there will be violence and attempts AGAIN to overturn the results of the election.
Don’t expect a smooth transition of power just bcz you want there to be.
23%. In 2020, it was 74,223,975.
74,223,975 / 330,000,000 ≈ 23%.
So our country could end up being led by only 23% of the population.
I don’t think he’s going to win the election. That’s not gonna stop extremists from acting out.
Not taking that poll serious is how he was elected the first time.
theres a different between not taking the polls seriously, and blindly believing a poll that experts say is severely methodologically flawed.
That crossed my mind to, but the way Republicans are gerrymandering districts and obstructing voting has me really worried.
Now the question is what they’ll do if Trump gets convicted. Not every trial will be delayed until after the election.
She’s fulfilled one of her goals, which is to accumulate some delegates before the convention. If Trump is somehow unable to accept the nomination, she will be the only other person there with pledged delegates. That will probably matter.
Also recall that while she is suspending her campaign, her name will still appear on the ballot, and people are still free to vote for her. If Trump keels over while there are still primaries going on, she will probably sweep any remaining states. It still might not be enough to win the nomination outright, but should prevent against Don Jr. Trying to inherit it.
If daddy croaks, DJTJ would dye his hair strawberry blonde, put on a fat suit, and claim the delegates are his
I am sure he will try to follow in Daddy’s footsteps. And then find out that no one man can follow in Daddy’s footsteps. It will splinter into more schisms than the Protestant church.
And all of them to a person would act and talk like nothing was amiss. I kind of want to see this timeline, now.
Interesting. Thanks.
She stuck it out hoping that Trump would be disqualified and the votes would go to her instead. But with the SCOTUS recent ruling that states can’t remove Trump from the ballot, it makes sense for her to drop out.
To be clear, the SCOTUS ruling doesn’t just prevent states from removing someone from the ballot. It also prevents federal courts from removing someone convicted of sedition from the ballot. It was a very broad, bad ruling that essentially says the courts will not do anything about Trump
The courts were never going to save us. We have to save ourselves at the ballot box in November.
Everyone should be running on the assumption that Trump will never face consequences for anything that he has done or will do in the future and that he is a serious threat to retaking the presidency despite the Biden rematch.
Finally Trump can use his campaign funds wholly on his legal defense instead of pesky campaigning.
Why campaign when they televise it for you?
For real, NY Times is practically running his campaign for him.
right after the supreme court ruling
“Ceding” She didn’t “cede” anything. She’s “suspending”.
Just like every single other politician who supposedly didn’t cede.
Well the others formally ended things then immediately endorsed and traveled with Trump.
How unsurprising.
She was hanging in there on the hope that trump loses his cases and ends up in jail
I guess the SC finding that an insurrectionist can be on the ballot in bold face defiance of the 14th amendment showed her that the SC will bend over backwards to protect him and that any hope she had of nabbing the nomination on his conviction was gone.
