A lot of people thought she was going to go all the way to the RNC, but I didn’t think she would last that long.
Now the question is what they’ll do if Trump gets convicted. Not every trial will be delayed until after the election.
She’s fulfilled one of her goals, which is to accumulate some delegates before the convention. If Trump is somehow unable to accept the nomination, she will be the only other person there with pledged delegates. That will probably matter.
Also recall that while she is suspending her campaign, her name will still appear on the ballot, and people are still free to vote for her. If Trump keels over while there are still primaries going on, she will probably sweep any remaining states. It still might not be enough to win the nomination outright, but should prevent against Don Jr. Trying to inherit it.
If daddy croaks, DJTJ would dye his hair strawberry blonde, put on a fat suit, and claim the delegates are his
I am sure he will try to follow in Daddy’s footsteps. And then find out that no one man can follow in Daddy’s footsteps. It will splinter into more schisms than the Protestant church.
That actually appears to be the inevitable outcome for the Republicans if Trump loses. The entire party will fracture in little pieces, none will win anything for a long time…
If he wins though, then the US will be turned into a dictatorship (mostly Trump’s words, not mine)
And all of them to a person would act and talk like nothing was amiss. I kind of want to see this timeline, now.
Interesting. Thanks.
It’ll be interesting to see if Trump has to drop. Since the RNC is in Trump’s pocket I wonder if they will push hard on whomever Trump’s running mate is while the GOP wants Haley.
Trump will not drop out unless God forces his hand. He will run from prison if it comes to that, and the GOP will let him.
It might be wishful thinking (which is an awful thing to say), but I think the dementia is going to get him.
