I would add to this… I’m not convinced they would lose in 2024. If they kept Trump off the ballot, Haley could naturally step in and say she would pardon Trump (wouldn’t get him reinstated or anything really, but I don’t think his supporters would read past “pardon”).
Then all of the sudden you might actually get a revved up MAGA crowd behind someone like Haley, who appeals way more to the center.
It’s not far fetched that she could give Biden a hard time, particularly now that they’d play the age card as much as possible. I’ve been saying this from the beginning… This is the Trump off-ramp in a way that doesn’t damage any elected officials. They can all be outraged and angry publicly, and they fits their narrative very nicely.
If Trump gets kicked off the ballot, the road for Democrats in 2024 gets harder, not easier, in my opinion.
Trump croaking would be the best thing that could happen for the GOP establishment (the ones that remain anwyays). Being disqualified before super Tuesday is the second best outcome for them.
I disagree. Trump will run as an independent if he’s disqualified, and he’ll split the fascist vote the Haley. Of course votes for him won’t count, but they’ll still be votes Haley doesn’t get.
… He can’t run at all if he’s kicked off the ballot.
And he won’t rally people against Haley or she’ll pull the “I Won’t Pardon You” card.
Trump always operates in his own selfish best interest. And his interest will quickly become do what he can to get Haley elected. It’ll be his only out.
He can do all the usual things candidates do when they campaign. The only difference is his name won’t be on the ballot. That won’t stop his cult from attempting a write-in campaign.
