The Colorado Department of State warned that it would be “a matter for the Courts” if the state’s Republican party withdrew from or ignored the results of the primary.

    I love that instead of doing any type of introspection about letting someone that has been channeling Hitler in his campaign rails, and tried to overthrow the US government to remain in power represent your political party, they just want to change the rules basically making the choice for the voters that might want a real candidate.

      They WANT the strongman in power. That’s the point. They’re terrible people who want to do terrible things.

        Just seems at this point no matter your drive for bad intentions you would see Trump is poison for anyone in his orbit. Bill Barr (somehow ) and his Generals (that had to stop him from launching missiles into Mexico) seem to be the only ones that held any top positions without being part of an investigation of some sort. The party is full of terrible people, seems like it would be easier to find a Hitler nobody knows/suspects like they did in Congress.

          I think they see a useful personality. Hard to build a cult of personality when normally, your best orrators come across like a prudish pastor trying to do calculus while receiving head…

            But probably better to find one that can wait to do all the crime AFTER they seize complete control of the government. Right now you have a good chance of being charged if you step into his orbit because he can’t stop committing crimes and then doubling down them when confronted (like his defamation case where once he was done he doubled down and set himself up for another).

              Yea, but my point is: look what they’re working with. Frigging Mike Pence was picked to counter the less scrupulous parts of Trump’s character.

              It’s Trump, because every other Republican is quite literally too stupid, obviously evil, or too boring. Or a mixture of the three in most cases.

              That’s always the problem with fascists being effective: They’re very lame people.

                Pence was to get the gullible Christian vote, then quickly after Trump learned it was about being racist, not religion at all, and stopped even pretending to care about religion or Pence.

                  That’s completely wrong. Remember the whole posing with the (upside down) bible in front of the church?

                  That was years in…
