The New York State Board of Elections is opting to wait for the courts to rule on the eligibility of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, signaling that the board would be open to taking his name off state ballots.
In a November 3 letter, the NYSBOE informed U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby that the state agency is taking “no position” in the matter of Trump’s candidacy and that it will “abide by any orders of judgements of the court.”
The best case scenario for everybody (except maybe Trump) is if Trump was removed from the primary ballots in every state.
Trump doesn’t want to do the job. He didn’t even try to do the job the last time he had it. At this point, his main reason for running is to stay out of prison.
And money. It was the most lucrative business his family ever run.
Pretty sure he wants to become a full on dictator
Only because he now realizes it’s possible. I think his main reason is that he thinks losing anything makes him weak and he wants to prove he’s not weak. Trump has only ever really cared about one thing: his image. Even his personal freedom and money come second to that, I’d bet.
Strange legacy to become a dictator an such an advanced age that you’ll inevitably die soon after. There’s no guarantee that even if Trump is elected in 2024 that he’d make it to 2028, since he’s unusually unhealthy.
I don’t know that there is a best case for “everybody” at this point.
If Trump is blocked from running we will be hearing from his cult for the rest of time - and they will turn around and try to do this to others as payback (like they are doing with impeachment).
If Trump dies of a heart attack he becomes a martyr.
I think the best case is that he looses the primary. This might keep the Rs together as a party (sigh) but at least it will be their choice and maybe we can all move forward from there.
If Trump looses on the general we have another round of sore losers whining and trying to destroy democracy some more. Regardless of how that fight goes every day of it diminishes the country and boost in intensity would be bad.
If he wins the general election the country is SO very fucked — welcome to your new authoritarian apartheid anti-freedom etc state. At least that is their stated goal and it’s gonna be a horrible country damaging battle.
All of this is Rs and Trumps (MAGAs) fault. And they’re continuing to take the initiatives. I don’t have a broad strategy in mind so I’m ok with fighting them at each of these levels.
It doesn’t matter what happens we will be hearing from them for the rest of time.
No shit. Idk how op can even pretend it’s a factor.
They can’t do anything except vote. Get over them.
