With Donald Trump facing felony charges over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, the former president is flooding the airwaves and his social media platform with distortions, misinformation and unfounded conspiracy theories about his defeat.

    This is all going to come to a head soon, they aren’t going to let him run. Secretaries of state are going to leave him off the ballot citing the 14th amendment and his supporters will go bonkers. My prediction is it will start with blue states but when GA announces, all hell will break loose.

      I think this is a very salient opinion.

      I hope you’re right, but I would not be at all surprised if every single red state keeps him in their ballot.

        Red states will leave him on, blue states sill take him off. It’s the battleground states like NV, GA, MI that are going to get ugly. His campaign will challenge those in court and when they lose, I’m kind of scared of what’s coming. But it needs to happen. They need to end this fucker before election day. He’s disqualified hands down.

      It won’t really matter unless enough states remove him from the ballot to deny him the 270 electoral votes.

        It wont matter that solid blue states like CA remove him, true. But swing states like MI and GA will effectively end his campaign. And i think when that happens, Jan 6th was just a preview.
