    Thank god. If Trump is forced out of the race from being in jail, DeSantis was the next leader, and at this point I really don’t know which one of them is worse.

    So what serious contenders are there still for the primaries?

    And is Trump still considered a serious contender when there are entire states who definitely won’t have him on the final ballot?

      Donald Trump and Nicki Haley. And Trump is not harmed in the least bit as long as he’s only left off blue state ballots. That has zero effect on his ability to win electoral votes.

      Yes because Colorado was never going to go to Trump anyway. Maine splits their electoral votes but 1 or 2 electoral votes are very very unlikely to make a difference in the election. And that probably won’t matter anyway because SCOTUS will almost certainly rule to keep him on the ballot.

      Those states, and counting, are forced to keep him on the ballot by the Supreme Court.

    It is beyond bizarre to me that we are discussing another election with Trump in it.

      Why? Is there some law that he has broken and been convicted of breaking and thus officially disqualified from holding federal office? Are the democrats some kind of Amazing Pax Americana party that consistently and measurably increases the quality of life for the vast majority of Americans while also shunning foreign adventurism?

      Cause unless those things are true, then it seems quite expected that Trump would run again and have a similar amount of support as he did in 2020.

          Yea I wasn’t defending nazis, but glad to see you are using the intent of that law correctly. That is to classify any criticism of the government as “defending nazis.”
          If Trump has “similar support” as in 2020 it’s going to be a landslide victory for him.

              You conveniently overlooked the part of legislation where they banned “terrorists groups” and group them in with Nazis. Where Terrorists groups are free to be designated at will. So now in Australia, if you say “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.”, or if you call for the boycot of a genocidal country, the government gets to silence you as if you are a Nazi.
