A good government group spearheading a national effort to bar Donald Trump from the election next year moved to remove him from the ballot in Michigan, citing the Constitution’s Disqualification Clause.
I can’t post what i think of trump 
Why are these efforts being called “removing him from the ballot”? Since a ballot for the 2024 elections has not even been made, no one is “on the ballot” - In reality, these efforts are designed to ratify the fact that Trump is not eligible to be on the ballot in the first place, not remove him from it. I fear that this only helps Trump spread his propaganda and reinforce the lie that he is already on the ballot and now is being “removed” from it.
Mixed feelings about these efforts. One wonders if they succeed we will not see candidates kept off ballots sans evidence of bad behavior, similar to the current practice of impeachment without evidence. That the former president should never hold any office again goes without saying however he is kept therefrom.
Well SOS Benson sure showed her commitment to the voters! If the courts find against Trump, she should be recalled.
She’s doing it the right way.
Removal of a candidate from the ballot should come from a court order, not a SOS decree. Otherwise, every state Republican election official will start disqualifying Democrats on the flimsiest of pretenses, forcing them to go to the Courts to get back on.
These Trump Disqualification lawsuits serve that purpose by:
Politically, we’re also establishing a record of Republicans opposing disqualification which can be used against them if they try it against Democrats in the future.
File motions to disqualify Trump in every blue state. Kick his a** off the ballot. Force the courts to figure this issue out.
Throw him off the ballot and throw this tub of lard on the Weber grilled fired up with hot coals.
We’re fired up and ready!
Be careful what you wish for - if Reps decide to dump Trump I’m not crazy about seeing a ballot here in GA that reads Dem. Biden/Harris, Rep DeSantis/Haley Haley/DeSantis, Green West and Ind Kennedy.
In other news: It looks like little Nicki won’t be TDIFFG’s running mate after all…
I hope he’s putting all that Republican dark money in a safe place. He can’t win. He knows he can’t win. And I’m not sure how he sees throwing the race to the fascists just because he’s pissed off about vaccinations is a legitimate long term strategy.
Kari Lake or North Dakota Noem.
Disqualification is a bad move. It feeds into the narrative that the indictments against Trump are just part of a scheme to prevent Trump from winning in 2024.
But the reality is that even Republicans such as Niki Haley have said that Trump can’t win the general. Trump should be defeated decisively in the election once again. That or actual imprisonment are the only things that finally will shut him up.
Yeah, I’m not sure he’s all there. After listening to him for 2 hours on Bill Maher’s podcast, he sounds pretty scary. He’s pissed off about more than just vaccines - I found hearing him talk about his dad and uncle’s assassinations pretty troublesome as far as putting him in the Oval Office.
Yes, agree…
Instead, if MI courts disqualify Trump it will just be state republican judges doing the disqualification…
Judge Chutkan is already assigned.
Everything prior to that case is jumping the gun
It’s a war we’ll lose. We own less state courts.
Only this guy will shut him up…
I have read all three petitions (Wisconsin, Colorado and now Michigan) The petitions cites a lot of evidence on Trump’s part so none of these are thin on support the premise that DJT is disqualified. However, a conviction of the crime of insurrection is just and the GOP may find itself with a primary winner who is disqualified from the ballot if the DC case occurs as planned. Couldn’t happen to a better party.
