Regardless of any delusions you, I, or anyone else may harbor on this issue, the odds that Donald Trump will be saddled with at least one FELONY conviction out of the dozens he is currently charged with are exceedingly high. It doesn’t even matter whether the charges are with or without merit. If a firing squad is pointing 91 rounds at someone, at least one of them is gonna hit the target. This means that this time next year, instead of campaigning or even accepting the GOP nomination in person, the former president could either be in prison or on house arrest, playing golf with an ankle bracelet.

Except they can, and they are. You can scream and cry all you want about the injustice of it all, but it won't change a thing. They have the power, and, unlike our people who have and have had similar power, THEY are USING it.
So what are you gonna do about it? "MAKE HIM PRESIDENT!!" you exclaim. "SHOVE HIM DOWN THEIR THROATS!!"
SNIP>>>>>
Except, they've got that covered. This isn't a game, yet they are playing 4D chess to your checkers. Do you think they are stupid? Do you think they didn't know full well that you would react in anger and frustration? Do you think they didn't make all the political calculations beforehand? Of course they did, and you want to do exactly what they’re counting on.

who accounts for “most”?
Rehash of surrender puppy strategy, waste of bandwidth.
I haven’t seen any Republican candidate who could govern better than President Trump.
2024 TRUMP - All the way.
He’s saying general voters won’t vote for a felon in the general, so we have to nominate a candidate who can beat Biden, who will do everything Trump would do, but without the legal baggage.
Lol, SOS, different flies.
I don’t need some smart ass, telling me to jump off the Trump train. Supreme court has his back stop with this nonsense.
I don’t agree with his assertion:
“It seems evident that the powers that be want to secure a GOP nomination for Trump while making it impossible for him to win or even compete in the general election. A win was already going to be an uphill climb, but now it’s absolutely impossible, and they know it. “
A win was not going to be an ‘uphill’ climb. Caving in to lawfare in any election ensures it will be the central tactic of the next election. This writer supports loser theory.
What can we do, besides show up armed and make citizens’ arrests of the violators (those WHO GAVE THE ORDERS) then hold a trial and punish them? < /sarc >
No. Bad advice. More gaslighting from the controlled opposition RINOs. More attempts to sell surrender as resistance. More Orwellian nonsense. Too mad that many here agree with it.
Uh no Donald Trump is not going to prison. Anybody who thinks that is delusional! 😆
if Scott wants to surrender let him, he’s a light weight, no real fighting power anyway. Good thing many are not like Scott.
stars & stripes forever wrote: “I haven’t seen any Republican candidate who could govern better than President Trump.”
Any of the other candidates would govern better if Trump is in jail. The point is, you must be elected to govern.
the former president could either be in prison or on house arrest, playing golf with an ankle bracelet. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In what universe....none of these trials will begin before the 2024 election.......and whats more, for the first time the pre-trial discovery will put the exculpatory facts into very clear view.
President Trump will never see a single day in prison.
good advice
surrender
let the opposition chose our candidate
scott is waving the white flag
scott is not welcome in my foxhole
I say we all go BTS outta Scott Morefield. Won’t help Trump but it’ll make us feel better about being provoked and taunted by him
He’s an idiot. If he knew the future he’d be extremely rich.
Morenoise from Morefield, a dyed-in-the-wool NeverTrumper. Just a bunch of “concern trolling”. If President Trump wasn’t facing down indictments, ol’ Scottie would find something ELSE to concern-troll about. Because he hates President Trump!
>> If a firing squad is pointing 91 rounds at someone, at least one of them is gonna hit the target.
That’s a trite and inapplicable analogy.
FYSM
Scott doesn't even understand that a firing squad may have 91 guns, but only one gun contains a live round. It is done that way to prevent anyone from knowing who fired the live round.
But nothing he is being charged with disqualifies him from running or becoming president should he win the election.
Legal requirements for presidential candidates have remained the same since the year Washington accepted the presidency. As directed by the Constitution, a presidential candidate must be a natural born citizen of the United States, a resident for 14 years, and 35 years of age or older.
