The goal is to set the trial as l late as she can get away with, then stall, stall, and stall some more in hopes he can get reelected before it ends and then just pardon himself.
I hope I don’t eat these words, but I don’t see how he could possibly win the general election after his other trials conclude.
It’s a pretty pathetic state of affairs that I fully expect him to win the GOP nomination because of his legal issues.
They’re going to try to cheat and they’ve been working on that since last time to make that happen. They’re putting their side in charge of elections, redistricting, etc. While the press talks about Bobo & the clown and trump, they’re working on stuff behind the scenes.
Generally speaking, they were already in charge of elections & redistricting for a lot of states. The “Independent Legislature” thing the SCotUS kicked to the curb was their only real shot they had for outright “legally” stealing an election. Mathematically speaking, you can only gerrymander a given area so much & that hardly matters for Senate & Presidential elections.
They “caught the car” with Roe vs. Wade & don’t know how the fuck to recover from that mistake.
“Wokeness” is about 3 times more popular than the GOP.
The GOP has lost 10 of their last 12 special elections, some of those in areas they were never supposed to lose.
Last time I looked, COVID was still killing 100 very likely GOP adherents every single day in the USA.
Millennials hate the GOP, almost monolithically. Demographics are going to crush the GOP in the next two elections.
Gen
YZ is the same. I hope all of that mattersOnly matters if they vote
They voted in record numbers last presidential election. Hopefully that carries over.
Millennials are Gen Y. Are you thinking of Zoomers?
Yes
All it takes is enough people who aren’t fully committed Trump voters in swing states finding it difficult to vote, or ending up not voting out of apathy. Or those states picking electors who will give the votes to Trump regardless of who wins the vote. A Trump victory can’t be ruled out even with what should be several major disqualifying factors running against him. That’s more an indictment of America than a credit to the strength of his candidacy, frankly.
I hope you’re right, but I know a lot of these state legislatures are doing their best to gerrymander, and otherwise rig elections. Some states are fighting that (Michigan is majority dem for the first time in forever because of a separate, non-politician run redistricting committee and expanded voting rights bills), but there are a lot (see North Carolina, and Alabama’s refusal to create a second majority black district even though they have been ordered to do so by the Supreme Court.
He won last time when everyone wrote him off. We shouldn’t make the same mistake again.
He’s not just a GOP candidate, he is the champion of grifters and fearful white people. I have lots of people who live near me with trump paraphernalia outside their houses and prominently displayed in their places of business. They are so invested in him that logic takes a back seat to the need to win.
