Sweet!
That’s tellin’ 'em… for all the good it will do.
Yet another slam from a Trump-appointed Federal judge.
Just recognize the obvious: trump is a whiny baby. Nobody cares that he is upset that he doesn’t get to be President for life. In a year, nobody will care that he will be consigned to the dustbin of history,m gawked at in disbelief life the crazy Roman emperors like Caracalla and Caligula.
After the failure of the Texas case, some MAGA supporters got together for a protest rally. Michael Flynn was there. His sister sang, but didn’t know the words to God Bless America. Alex Jones was also there, along with the Proud Boys and the MyPillow guy. The Trump supporters started chanting “Destroy the GOP” like serpents eating their own tail. Bizarre stuff.
I keep reading that MAGA supporters have taken over the GOP. Hard to imagine.
They’ll have forgotten completely about that rally by next week and be loyally back in line to take those Georgia seats and demand every Biden move is blocked.
Also: I can’t believe it’s been a month. It’s been a looooooong month.
I’m sure this is a fact well-known to most you, but I’m in the dark so I’m asking.
Can a party refuse to have a person nominated under their flag? I.e., say the weirdo but technically sane cat lady next door decided to run for the Republican candidate for president, and due to some weird media nonsensity, she astoundingly starts to become a viable candidate. The Republican party really really doesn’t want her to end up being the Republican candidate. Can they legally do anything? Can they formally decline to accept her as their candidate?
The irony, it burns.
I’m not sure how it would be treated for a Presidential candidate, but in 1986, followers of whackjob Lyndon LaRouche managed to win the Democratic primaries in Illinois for two major statewide offices. As I understand it, the Illinois Democratic party had no way to purge the LaRouche candidates off of the ballot, so they had to resort to running their own candidates on a third-party ticket, and conducting an informational campaign to alert voters as to who the false-flag Democrats were. (Neither of the LaRouche supporters won in the general election, IIRC.)
I asked this same question back in the spring. The answer seemed to be that the party could not keep a candidate off a state-run primary, but if that candidate won the primary, the party was not obliged to recognise delegates for that candidate at the convention (speaking of presidential primaries).
Trump SUCKS at courting the courts.
Parties set their own rules for who gets the nomination. I don’t think they can refuse a person who gets nominated following those rules. They could rewrite the rules (though not, I think, in the middle of the process; they could rewrite them for future elections), but that risks their members throwing a fit if the rules seem to give the party establishment too much control.
There used to be a lot more safeguards against a person being nominated who the establishment couldn’t stand, but most of them have been knocked down over the years, because too many of the party members thought they were undemocratic. Which they were.
He’s really not here for the hunting, is he?
He and his supporters were, as predicted, tired of winning. So they decided to lose for a change. It’s been very relaxing. They plan to go back to winning in two weeks.
Last I heard -
He had to lose the election to prove there was fraud in the election
He had to lose in the courts to prove the courts were deep state
Its all part of the plan folks - just relax - he’s got this.
He (by he I mean Trump and his various Republican satraps) has got to be running out of lawsuits, doesn’t he? Only one I know that is still not been dismissed is in the Wisconsin Supreme Court and is supposed to be ruled on by Monday, and Sidney Powell apparently has some type of appeal going to the Supremes, but they have to be just about out of options, don’t they?
I saw someone the other day say that Trump is exposing the fraudulent nature of our elections and the court systems and this might be his greatest achievement.
Basil Fawlty: Is this a piece of your brain?

It’s not over!
From the last point all of this is apparently to “protect us”.

I assume?
