It'll never happen. Either he drags it out long enough that he dies from being a wildly unhealthy geriatric, flees to Russia, or kills himself before he goes.
I'm hoping he strokes out and becomes a locked in vegetable for at least a decade.
Trump would send all of his followers through the wood chipper before hed harm himself.
Nah, he'd do it if there was a legitimate chance of going to prison.
Not possible, the elite already agreed to put Trump in the chair.
Ok decision was on procedural grounds relating to differences between how MI and CO do things. They will take another look if/when Trump wins the primary. This isn't terrible... yet.
If he wins the primary, then it's too late.
Nah they can still kick him off the general election ballot
MI Supreme Court didn't have the guts to make a ruling, so they're passing it up to SCOTUS, meaning the lower court's ruling to allow Trump to be on the ballot remains in place-- just to untangle the situation a bit.
To contrast with Colorado: a lower court the ruled that Trump 1) had committed/participated in insurrection, but 2) could remain on the ballot, and the CO Supreme Court upheld point 1 but overturned point 2 and ruled that, no, Trump could not appear on the ballot because of point 1. Both rulings are now being appealed to SCOTUS.
This is another state that, although the official order didn't elaborate, a dissent mentions:
The challengers in the case, she added, may “renew their legal efforts as to the Michigan general election later in 2024 should Trump become the Republican nominee for President of the United States or seek such office as an independent candidate”
So probably another state that is going with the reasoning that since the primary is technically a private contest within the party, they don't think the fourteenth amendment applies. There's multiple states now that will likely be reconsidering whether to bar him from the actual ballot in November if he's selected as the Republican nominee.
