Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution says anyone who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and then "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof" is barred from holding office. Lawsuits seeking to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot have been filed in Colorado, Michigan and Wisconsin. In Colorado, the case will go to trial on October 30. Judge Sarah Wallace says the Constitution is clear on the matter; Section 3 is not merely a "suggestion."

After Trump announced in June 2015 that he would run for President, it took only a few days for the Republican party to become The Cult Of Donald Trump. The Cult remains strong despite Trump's lies, broken promises, business fraud trial, sexual abuse conviction, two impeachments, four indictments and 91 criminal charges. Pence had no chance of winning in 2024.

Unemployment is low, wages are rising and there have been 34 consecutive months of job growth. Our economy is good but, according to a recent poll, 70% of Americans think it isn't – and that is why so many voters would choose Trump over Biden, despite Trump's two impeachments, four indictments, 91 criminal charges, fraud trial, sexual abuse conviction and the incitement of a deadly riot.

Opinion: Trump's strong general election polling is a mirage
Zachary Faria, Washington Examiner, Nov 6 2023 2:21 PM
Former President Donald Trump’s general election polling strength is a mirage and Republicans will be making a grave mistake if they fall for the illusion and nominate him for 2024. The New York Times/Siena College poll between Trump and President Joe Biden is making waves, as it shows Trump leading in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Biden is unpopular, people think the country is on the wrong track, and a majority rate the current economic conditions as "poor." None of this is a surprise.
But to assume that this proves there are no electability concerns for Trump is a mistake. These polls are essentially just a reflection of Biden’s disapproval rating (59%) and unfavorability rating (57%). The people being polled are expressing their dissatisfaction with Biden, not that they actually want Trump back. We know this because Trump still polls very poorly individually as well. His unfavorability rating (56%) is nearly identical to Biden’s. Among undecided and persuadable voters, 46% think Trump winning would be bad for the country while just 20% think it would be good.

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution says anyone who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and then has "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof" is barred from holding office. The Minnesota Supreme Court does not care what the Constitution says – and it is likely the United States Supreme Court, which Donald Trump stacked with pro-Trump Justices, will not care either.

Biden's road to re-election bid just got rougher
The Western Journal, Nov 9 2023 2:05 PM
President Joe Biden woke up to a new headache today after Jill Stein announced that she plans to seek the Green Party nomination for President in 2024 and will come at Biden from the left. Stein, the Green Party's Presidential nominee in 2012 and 2016, made her plans known on Wednesday night as the Republicans met for their third primary debate. In an X post, she announced she was running again and blasted the President for his spending on the "war machine."

Deranged, demented, delusional Donald has made a lot of bizarre statements lately, such as continuing to insist the 2020 election was "rigged" and "stolen," claiming he won all 50 states in 2020, claiming Biden "got money from China" and claiming New York allows the killing of babies after they're born. Now he's come up with another one: "The genie" is "out of the box."
Trump says 'genie out of the box' to justify prosecuting rivals if he’s elected
HuffPost, Nov 10 2023,02:52 PM EST
Former President Donald Trump said he would be justified in telling federal prosecutors to go after his political rivals if he wins the White House next year, suggesting it would simply be payback for Democrats doing the same to him. "What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box," Trump said in an interview aired Thursday by Spanish-language outlet Univision. Trump faces four indictments from state and federal prosecutors totaling 91 charges, which range from lying on business documents to violating anti-racketeering laws and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

The number-one thing in their favor: neither of them is Donald Trump.
A Romney/Manchin Presidential ticket?
Deseret News, Nov 10 2023 12:22 PST
Should Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney run for President again as an independent with West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin on the ticket? Yes, say backers of a new Boston-based "Draft Romney/Manchin Committee" that filed with the Federal Election Commission Wednesday. They believe the pair can beat the frontrunners, Democratic President Joe Biden and former GOP President Donald Trump. The committee plans to start polling in states including Utah to show Romney and Manchin they can win the White House rather than serve as spoilers.

More than 35,000 lies. Two impeachments. Four indictments. Ninety-one criminal charges. Tax fraud. Business fraud. A sexual abuse conviction. And the Cult of Donald Trump is stronger than ever. No Retrumplican Presidential candidate who is not named Donald John Trump has any chance of getting the 2024 nomination – and another candidate just realized that.

John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, George W. Bush and Donald Trump each became President of the United States even though they lost the popular vote. The will of the majority was ignored. We can blame the Electoral College for that. It is frightening to think this could happen again in 2024.

A conservative, pro-Trump judge in Michigan has rejected claims that Trump's actions during the deadly, Trump-incited January 6 Capitol riot make him ineligible to run for President. The judge doesn't care what the Constitution of the United States says. In Colorado and Minnesota, similar efforts to keep Trump off the ballot have so far been unsuccessful. And if the issue ever reaches the Supreme Court – which Trump stacked with conservative, pro-Trump Justices – it is a certainty they will rule in Trump's favor.

Donald Trump has always admired the world's dictators and aspires to be like them. It is truly frightening to see that his chance of being re-elected is growing increasingly likely. In a second term as President, Trump will use the Department of Justice to go after his enemies and eradicate the "vermin" (as he calls them). He will impose drastic restrictions on the news media and punish news outlets that dare to say anything negative about him. He will deport migrants. He will roll back clean-air and clean-water regulations. He might abolish the IRS, the Department of Education, the Department of Energy and the Department of Health & Human Services. And if he can find a way to abolish the Constitution of the United States and write his own version, he will do so.
