Good News, Bad News for Trump’s Reelection Chances

We’ve written extensively about the non-stop efforts of Trump’s elite enemies to make sure he never becomes president again. These efforts began with Hillary Clinton’s Russia hoax in 2016 that paralyzed Trump for the first two years of his presidency.

This was followed by the first impeachment that involved a brief Trump phone call to President Zelensky in Ukraine about investigating corruption by the Biden Crime Family. It turns out that all the allegations about bribes to the Bidens were true, but somehow just asking about it led to the impeachment of Trump.

Then there was the second impeachment that concluded after Trump was already out of office; an unprecedented violation of due process.

Since then, Trump’s enemies have not rested. He has been indicted on over 90 felony charges in Washington DC, New York, Fulton County Georgia and Palm Beach. These charges are also bogus. But his odds of being convicted of at least one felony in one of these cases are high because the jurisdictions were all hand-picked by Democrats to make sure the juries were reliable Trump-haters.

On top of that, a civil case in New York seeks to revoke Trump’s business licenses, put his properties in receivership and sell them off one-by-one, net of a $250 million fine. This would practically bankrupt the Trump Organization, which is the whole idea.

Just when you think there’s nothing else they can throw at Trump, along comes the craziest idea of all. The 14^th Amendment to the Constitution has a clause that was designed to prevent Confederate rebels from holding office in the U.S. government. It was based on participation in an “insurrection,” which was clearly a reference to the Civil War.

Democrats are trying to use this clause to ban Trump from the ballot in many states (now you know why Nancy Pelosi kept yelling “insurrection!” after the January 6^th riots. It was all part of a plan). These so-called insurrection clause cases are now reaching the courts.

An important decision came down in Colorado a few days ago. It was good news and bad news for Trump.

The good news was that the judge said Trump’s name would remain on the ballot because he was not “an officer of the United States” as required by the 14^th Amendment. The bad news is that the judge ruled that Trump did participate in an “insurrection.”

While Trump won on a technicality, the Colorado judge’s finding of insurrection could be cited by courts in other states that take a different view on the “officer” clause. If another court rules that Trump was an “officer” and that he did engage in “insurrection” (relying on the Colorado case), then that’s enough to kick Trump off the ballot. This issue is pending in about ten other states. We have not heard the last of it.
