    This is smart. She’s probably just sitting and waiting for the Supreme Court ruling. By some rare chance that Supreme Court sides the Colorado ruling. Trump is immediately disqualified for running for President and she becomes the nominee by default

      It isn’t quite that easy is it? Can’t they simply rule that CO has the right to run their elections how they see fit without weighing in specifically on whether Trump should be disqualified?

        They have to walk a very fine line, because too far in either direction fucks them. Give the states too much power and they can kick off trump. Give the states too little power and Democrats can counterattack voter suppression

        It’s not that simple. It sends a message to the entire nation. If it’s held up every voter is aware he is an inferior candidate. And if it doesn’t, the GOP can say “look how bad they are at it”.

          That’s true, I just don’t see how they don’t uphold it. Then again, the GOP lives for hypocrisy and their chosen few run the court now so…
