Instead of campaigning on what anti-abortion activists have declared his legacy — laying the groundwork for Roe’s overturning with the appointments of three conservative SCOTUS justices — Donald Trump has been reluctant to talk about his views on abortion in any specific terms for the better part of the past year, and really, ever since the 2022 midterms.
That’s a sad short list and fucking pathetic bench for a party that’s going to be flying in the wilderness in 9 short months. The hollowing out of the national party this year is going to be so so sweet for the next couple cycles
I think Donnie should bravely stake out a position in favor of arranged marriages, dowries and patriarchal authority.
ETA: Hell, can I throw a revival of prohibition in the mix while I’m at it?
This is the 2nd reference I’ve seen naming Rubio as a potential VP pick and that seems weird, even for Trump, but also not possible (they live in the same state). Am I imagining the “Presidential ticket can’t be comprised of 2 people from the same state” thing?
Yeah lots of luck with that Dementia Donnie!! All the Biden campaign will have to do is run the tape of you bragging about ending Roe. No VP pick is going to undo that!
The abortion horse has left the barn, and you were the one who opened the barn door. When you attempt to say it wasn’t your doing, voters will say NAY.
If Dems get control in 2024 I think it’ll be more than a couple cycles, because they’d be able to pass voting rights law that gets rid of gerrymandering. Couple that with the demographic shift as the overwhelmingly anti-GOP generations become voters (and the die-hard Fox “News” viewers die off) and we could see liberal dominance for a long, long time.
I believe you missed the footnote to the Constitution:
*Nothing herein should be construed as preventing Donald J. Trump from doing anything he wants to. --The Framers
Nope. Cheney had to “move to Wyoming” when he put himself on W’s ticket.
If you don’t hold elective office “moving” to satisfy residency requirements is no big deal (many voters take a dim view of it in state/local races, but I don’t think it really matters for presidential elections).
However- Rubio can’t move because he’s currently representing Florida and the Traitor tot can’t move because he only became a Florida resident to shield assets from (potential) bankruptcy / court judgments
I don’t think Rubio looks the part enough to get the nod, though
Besides Scott, Trump has also been asking people close to him how they feel about the abortion views of Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).
Kari Lake and Empty G must both be very sad right now…
