And that’s why it was done. Dems MUST have Trump on the ballot.
TRUMP INDICTED

So you're OK with Ron saying he would defy the Constitution because it's "purely for political purposes". Why am I not surprised?
Did I say that? No I did not. Surely you’re bright enough to figure that out?
What are the republicans doing to keep him off the ballot?
WSJ called Bragg a “provincial progressive” which is pretty accurate.
It’s Kabuki theater.
Hopefully between this, Georgia and the documents case Trump will be politically neutered....
Sure, you’re ok with a governor issuing empty unconstitutional threats as long as they’re just for political purposes.
Wow. Dems are playing some 6D chess.
And all being done with no help from republicans. So who wants him on the ballot?
Gosh Rocky I don’t know. Making statements for political purposes has NEVER happened before.
I’ll have to think about that.
Democrats,.. They want him beaten to a pulp, but still on the ballot.
Damn democrats making Trump sleep with a porn star and then forcing him to pay her off with campaign funds.
So your position is the Dems really want Trump as the nominee.
And your argument is now that Trump is running away with the nomination, the Dems are coordinating a sham indictment of Trump so that he’s tried and acquitted, which makes him even more of a lock for the nomination?
Are you listening to yourself?
Campaign funds weren't used here,.. see John Edwards for campaign funds paid to mistress.
No he wasn’t IMO. If you cannot grasp his motive then you’re just not cynical enough yet.
Give yourself time young feller. You’ll get there.

Yeah....that's why ALL of the Fox News pundits are going to bat for him.
Because the Dems are forcing them to do it...
You ever been able to understand stuff like “the big picture” or the “game being played”?
Are you a good poker player?
I fully understand his motive.
I’m disappointed you are ok with it. As I said, anything goes.
Again, thick as a Rock, where did I say I was OKAY with it?
Ok..
I think you’ve gotten yourself twisted up thinking you’re the smartest person in the room.
Maybe I would understand your position better if you would define the arguments that are "more compelling" if he's acquitted.
What I'm referring to are the statements made my Republican politicians, media personalities or other influential conservatives. The standardized message of themes around banana republic, third world country, weaponizing the justice system, attacking political opponents, framing the DA as being "Soros" backed, election interference, etc.
I think those are nonsense, detached from reality and dripping with disrespect for the intended audience. Since there is no need for their arguments to be grounded to reality or supported by evidence or logic, the actual outcome of the case is irrelevant to their charges, they will stand regardless.
It's similar to conspiracy theories, you keep them broad and unspecific, that way no matter what a new piece of information indicates, you can maintain the theory by digging deeper or peeling another layer.
If Republicans were making arguments that were along the lines of: We don't know the exact nature of the charges, we believe no one is above the law, but if what is being reported regarding the nature of the allegations is true. That would make this an unprecedented and untested legal theory and that this context is an inappropriate venue to test it. We understand this came down from a grand jury and will monitor the proceedings.
Something like that, making the case that this isn't an appropriate context to test out a new legal theory is reasonable, and I think would be a vindicated one if the case is weak and Trump is acquitted.
But no Republicans seem to be making that argument, they all have gone fantastical and apocalyptical, which you seem to think upon acquittal would be "much more compelling". I think that's silly.
So post this then:
“I disagree with DeSantis and believe he was wrong to tweet that. I understand why he thinks that helps him politically but in my opinion it’s not a position he should take.”
I don’t think it matters. No matter what I think his cult will write him in and ruin any chances the republicans have at winning the presidency.
If I’m the Dems get someone better than Biden in there for 2024 because of this and have another potential 8 years and someone that can run on experience of 2024-28.
Always the victims you republicans. Such bullies those Democrats. LOL
What are the republicans doing to get him off the ballot?
So you're OK with threatening to use unconstitutional methods as a ploy for political gain?
You're a mess.
Republicans can't do it without alienating his base, so we're letting you guys do the dirty work,.. Thanks for the assist...
She's spot on but it won't change the minds of our board MAGAs.
