The article went into that as well. The Republicans will end up more committed to Trump, because their rules bind Trump’s delegates to vote for him on the first ballot, no matter what. If he is still in the race, they will vote for him. And is there really any chance at all that he will withdraw, even if he gets convicted? Nothing short of death will keep him from becoming the Republican nominee.
Honestly then Democrats win, because Trump is running. Even if he’s not eligible he will whine and moan and a considerable segment will write him in or protest or not vote in protest.
Right. Because so many people just love Nikki Haley, especially her opinions like how states can secede and how slavery wasn’t the cause of the Civil War.
That article makes no sense. It claims she has a 13-point lead over Biden, but also says-
Haley’s lead does not mean she is viewed well by voters, however. Only 28 percent of registered voters said they had a favorable opinion of Haley, compared to 38 percent for Trump.
Then why wouldn’t Trump’s lead be even higher than Haley’s?
I’m not a pollster But I assume it’s because people mistakenly think she’s a moderate. She has ties with defense companies, even was on the board of Boeing. She really hates China but loves war so… yikes.
I’m more interested in the Republican Plan B when Trump is found ineligible to run.

This seems profoundly unlikely based on the SCOTUS reception to the idea.
I think our only solution to this Constitutional crisis is political or repaired by a sudden chance medical condition.
Odds are 50/50-ish on who has the medical issue though.

Then Nikki Haley becomes POTUS.

RCV would solve this dilemma but that’s not something we support in this country.

The poll source is there…
I don’t remember denying that.
I do remember asking a question. Do you have an answer?
