He’s not running in 2024. When he’s freed of his current job, and rakes in all of his mark’s money, he will just be running.
Things not going well for Trump in Wisconsin today.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court again refused to take up a lawsuit aimed at getting the Wisconsin state legislature to appoint electors:
But, wait, there’s more! Earlier today:
I think he might try, though the Republicans should just pick someone else. The best possible solution is for him to run third party.
He will not be running for president in 2024.
Do you think he will say he will so he can do the rallies for a few year and then stop just short of actually running? Or just not?
He’s not going to prison. I know he should for countless reasons, but he won’t.
I think he will say he is running as long as he can raise money from it. It also may help him if he is prosecuted to say it is all politically motivated because the “deep state” doesn’t want him to be president.
I’d be shocked if he actually ran again when the time comes though.
He will play like he’s ging to run. He’ll do it for money. He doesn’t want the freaking job that he has today.
This. He’ll pretend as long as the money is coming in.
Yes, please! And make sure he out-conservatives the conservatives. A nice GOP rift is in order here: half for Trump and the other half for the rest. That’ll be perfect! Maybe we can get Bloomberg to help fund his 2024 campaign (as long as he is not running as a GOP candidate)!
I agree. He will be either in jail, or in a coffin, or in another country fighting extradition.
This would be awesome but instead I think Trump would threaten it to get money/concessions from republicans. And I bet it would work too. Trump going third party would make the republican party lose their minds. They’d do a lot to stop Trump from going there. Likely paying him off somehow which I doubt would come cheap.
I also have no doubt that Trump has zero loyalty to the republican party and would be more than happy to do this if it served his own interests.
Oof, three judges actually backed Trump? I don’t like that, although I suppose they were only voting to hear the allegations, not to vote on their validity.
Exactly; the votes have been as to whether the WI Supreme Court would even consider the cases.
It should have been obvious that the allegations weren’t worth hearing.
I actually bit on it for a second. I still have hope after all these years.
To be fair, we really don’t want judges deciding something isn’t worth hearing because they just feel like it shouldn’t be heard for reasons of their own.
But that is kinda what the other judges were on about when they said Trump really needs to start in the lower courts where fact finding happens. Trying to skip that process is not ok. The higher court needs that step to happen so they have a basis to judge the merits.
Devil’s Advocate: Assume there really was massive voter fraud and you only have a month (or less) to sort it out before stopping the damage becomes impossible when the Electoral College votes the other guy in? The court system is notoriously slow. Even expedited cases wouldn’t be fast enough for this.
But do we want a precedent where the highest court just skips all the earlier steps? That didn’t even happen in Bush v. Gore.
That’s what I thought when I watched it.
As of yesterday, we’re already into “months” plural.
From the same article, she had “support” from another witness, although the other witness was advancing an entirely different theory: the evidence of massive election fraud is that all Chinese look alike:
Ms Carone wasn’t the only controversial witness to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday — another unidentified woman drew backlash when she suggested voter fraud could have taken place because “all Chinese look alike” in a statement.
“The other representative said that you can actually show up and vote without an ID, it’s shocking. How can you allow that to happen?” she said. “A lot of people think all Indians look alike, I think all Chinese look alike, so how would you tell?”
No, I am not making this up.
It’s understandable. I didn’t notice the laugh track the first time around, because I already have a laugh track going in my head every time I hear him speak.
