Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Bottom line is: Trump cannot run for president as a felon.

Sorry, this is absolutely incorrect. He might not be able to *vote* for himself (in some states), but there is absolutely nothing in the U.S. Constitution that prevents a convicted felon from running, being elected, and serving.

And THAT is the bottom line.

Rest in peace RBG.

Trump will nominate a replacement in the next day. McConnell will start the replacement process early next week.

Rick Wilson, a Republican strategist, warned just this morning: "There's nothing they won't do to hold power. If Donald Trump was told tomorrow, ‘you have to go personally kill Ruth Bader Ginsburg.’ He would do it."

He will BE INCARCERATED. He will BE IN JAIL. He will be LOCKED UP. He cannot get on the Florida ballot while he IS IN JAIL. He cannot vote while he is LOCKED UP. He cannot assume office, or get out of jail via an election. Meaning he CANNOT SERVE.

And THIS is reality.

Trump will desperately try to install another boot-licking Kavanaugh because he will try to use the Supreme Court to keep him as president after he loses in November.

Turkey neck Mitch is moving forward.

Trump is going to win in November & seat a conservative to SCOTUS.

Nope. Senator Lisa Murkowski says she will NOT vote for Trump's nominee. Romney will join here. A few more feed up with Trump senators will block Trump's pick. Trump will cry. The SCOTUS will be 4-4, a tie.

FIXED that for you. Trump is the evil Antichrist combined with Hitler v2..0.

Make sure you have your meds handy election day. ?

CNN says 4 GOP senators have committed in the past not to vote for a nominee during an election. I expect most if not all of them to break their word.

Here is a list of four Republicans senators who have said they will oppose a vote before the election:

Maine Sen. Susan Collins told the New York Times, “I think that’s too close, I really do."

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski in September said, "Fair is fair," and she would not vote to replace RBG before the election."

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham in October 2018 said, "If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait to the next election. And I've got a pretty good chance of being the Judiciary [Chairman]. Hold the tape."

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said in July he would follow the Biden rule, "I'm just following what was established by the Biden Rule in 1986 and then emphasized by him in 1992... They set the pattern. I didn't set the pattern. But it was very legitimate that you can't have one rule for Democratic presidents and another rule for Republican presidents."

You’re upset about “abrasive”???

Trump has to deny a 25 rape or sex assault allegation earlier today and your worried about abrasive.

Jesus wept.

It was a statement on her personality. There was a reason she did so poorly during the Democratic Presidential Campaign. Her choice as Vice President was based on her race and gender, as well as a nod to Bernie’s liberal agenda.

Murkowski already said NO. Romney will join her. Collins will vote NO as a way to try to save her seat.

What will be interesting is that McConnell will not want to embarrass Trump by bringing to vote a nominee who will be rejected. McConnell won't have the votes and that means the vote won't happen until after either Trump is officially confirmed in December, or Biden takes over in late January.

RIP RBG.

A great human being who was a wonderful supreme court justice and was tough as they come.

My prediction ... I expect Mitch will be compelled to change his mind. I expect the republicans will look at this as an opportunity to get their base out to vote to keep trump in office. this will be their rallying cry. It may just save trump.

It can work the other way as well.

I'd love it to work the other way but my guess is if they vote prior to the election the dems will be more motivated to get trump out of office... and trump fans will be less motivated... like I said, i'd be surprised if they hold a vote prior to the election.

What I mean is that Trump can use a new appointment possibility to re-elect him but the Dems can use the same to motivate the Democrats to get to the polls and there are more Dems than Reps.

A very sad part here is the lost opportunity- a R party that loved its country would recognize that by not nominating a replacement, they would heal the breach caused by Garland and Kav.

It would be a grand gesture to heal the nation.

Instead the 4 GOP senators will likely break their word and vote for a nominee.

Then the Dems will pack the court in 2021.

The Sup Ct will lose legitimacy.

This country is on a very bad trajectory.
