"And let’s be honest, after getting schlonged by a man under multiple federal indictments in the first few contests, the remaining candidates might figure there’s no point in getting out to preserve dignity that, by that point, would be long gone.
I don’t expect that we live in the beautiful timeline where Trump rots in jail while his sycophants fight on the convention floor. But it would be about par for the course for the sweet dream of this possibility to freeze a fragmented field—and help him coast to a third nomination."
If your hope is to jail your political opponent in order to 'win', you're a scumbag.
if Trump is behind bars
do you think Trump would have to campaign
to win support
If President Trump is not on the ballot, there is no reason to vote again. Ever.
Not surprising given who’s behind it.
FLASHBACK: Ted Cruz Campaign Manager - Who is Jeff Roe? (he’s been called “scum of the earth”)

“piece of ***t”, a “creep”, “no ethics”, “soul-less” … among a plethora of other pejoratives.
Let’s examine the man behind Ted Cruz’s campaign (and Ron DeSantis’ 2024 campaign.)
RDS’s road to the White House includes Trump as partner and/or VP, since he won’t win without Trump’s voters and support.
He could/should campaign as a supportive Trump lite and either become VP or step in if DjT is incarcerated.
Get on the team now, cuz’ ‘28 is no guarantee. Think Scott Walker and consider Glenn Youngkin, or others.
I’ve stated before that I don’t believe the Democrats will let Trump on the ballot. I know they don’t have that authority but that never stops them. They’ll just announce he’s an “insurrectiony traitor!” and simply keep him off the ballot, no matter what his legal status is. They control enough of the election machinery to get it done in most, if not all, states.
If they do this Trump will rage, as he should, but will have no power to stop them. The GOP will pretend to fume but will only write letters and hold hearings. Some will even openly agree with the Dems. The SC will announce that this is not their remit and will defer to congress. In short, no cavalry is coming
If that happens, whose name goes on the Republican ballot line?
This article is pure speculation forecasting a specific ending when there are still countless ways this could play out.
The only thing we know (or should know for those in denial) is that the first primary states are still 6+ months away, and DeSantis isn’t going anywhere in the short term.
If you want to guess what might happen with Trump, between now and the convention, good luck.
I really don’t think this will ever go to court. Because of discovery. Trump will also be allowed to call witnesses.
Already some of the evidence on the Jan 6 event has been destroyed.
They are afraid the truth will be exposed.
I won’t vote for Ron DeepStatis under any circumstances. He’s an anal sphincter.
There’s a winning strategy. 😆
"If your hope is to jail your political opponent in order to 'win', you're a scumbag.
I noticed how whenever that fool whispers, his eyes narrow, his lips curl and people back away from him. He is truly evil. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. Being a traitor doesn't bother him at all.
Dumb
If Trump is tossed into the slammer, in one of these political prosecutions he will still win the nomination votes.
The party can name someone else if they like, but Trump will still win the voting and if the party ignores the votes to do that they are done.
At least 30% of their reliable base or more will simply walk away for good
