It's very simple."I can do this to look good with the moderates, the house will overrule me anyway" is probably his thought process, rather than "this is evil and against personal rights".
On that topic - aren't the R supposed to be all for States' Rights? Than why object to states deciding someone can't be on the ballot? Hmmmm
Three of these folks were appointed by Trump, a fourth is practically the poster boy for unethical acceptance of things that just barely squeak by as not being bribes, and a fifth thinks the federal government - and by extension the SC - should be as small possible and leave everything up to the states. This SC doing anything but further legitimizing Trump is just not going to happen.
No polls whatsoever are currently predicting a landslide in that direction. If anything, he's slightly favored against Biden. Another close call - either way - would be... TroublesomeTruthfully, the best possible outcome in my opinion would be for the SC to let him run and have him lose in a landslide.
Maine has the split electoral votes so it could hurt him to lose there. And there are swing states that have dem leadership at the moment.So far Trump has not been excluded from a ballot in a state he would win so I don't know that it matters in that regard.
I do feel they couldn't just sweep it under the rug. The wording of whatever decision they make is going to be really important.
He’s also being excluded from primary ballots (if the decision isn’t paused or overturned). It would allow candidates like Nikki Haley to take states that they normally wouldn’t get to win the primary.So far Trump has not been excluded from a ballot in a state he would win so I don't know that it matters in that regard.
Well yes, that is what I meant.He’s also being excluded from primary ballots (if the decision isn’t paused or overturned). It would allow candidates like Nikki Haley to take states that they normally wouldn’t get to win the primary.
I also think there's a case to be made that he can be on a primary ballot (which is after all an internal party affair) and general election ballot.
As far as I'm aware parties are pretty free in how they organize their primaries (ballot, caucus, open or closed,...); I'm not even sure every person who wants to run as a presidential candidate would have to have done some sort of primary (I mean, independent candidates still exist). The general election for a federal position, even if organized by the state, would mean the federal constitution would apply. But this from a non-lawyer, non-American, of course.
You cut off the next sentence.No polls whatsoever are currently predicting a landslide in that direction. If anything, he's slightly favored against Biden. Another close call - either way - would be... Troublesome
But when politically has anything gone best case scenario lately?
Welp, giving a Republican the benefit of the doubt was stupid of all of us.
Something something family values.
The child, 4, was beaten and left in a damp, dark basement because he wasn't potty trained. He had been removed from the home at 4 months under abuse allegations and placed with another family member. DCS determined he should return home and was dead of starvation 6 months later. DCS is being sued by the family.
As yes, another "Christian" who exhibits the cross for status, not because they actually follow the words of Jesus.
