Desperate Dems Engage In Candidate Suppression
Anyone else find it ironic that those on the left who have been howling about conservatives allegedly engaging in “voter suppression” - by requiring photo IDs of voters - are now doing a happy dance over the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to boot Donald Trump from the ballot?
Call this naked political move what it is: Candidate suppression.
I thought Democrats were the party of “choice.” Not when it comes to candidates, apparently.
The Colorado Supreme Court’s bizarre 4-3 decision to boot Donald Trump from all state ballots amounts to a heavy-handed move by four Democrat judges to prevent Coloradans from voting for the Republican frontrunner in both the upcoming primary election or the November presidential election.
This is a shocking anti-democratic development.
Even former Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. agreed in a Wednesday Tweetstorm:
I may not be a lawyer, but RFK is right. Common sense says that resurrecting a moth-eaten section of the 14th Amendment, designed to keep Confederates who had taken up arms against the Union from holding elected office, to use against this former president is a bizarre and desperate move.
It’s clear from his own words, that on January 6, 2021 Trump instructed his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically” march to the Capitol to protest the certification of an election that he and they believed had been rigged.
The protest turned violent, it disrupted the business of Congress for several hours, and Democrats have been obsessed with the events of that day ever since.
If Trump on January 6th was operating on a faulty legal theory that the vice president had the power to stop the certification, the four political hacks on the Colorado Supreme Court used an even faultier one when they decided to prevent Coloradans from being allowed to vote for Trump.
Claiming that Trump engaged in an insurrection without defining what an insurrection is, and without the former president ever being charged or convicted of such a crime, doesn’t mask the raw political motives of those bringing these 14th Amendment cases. And currently, there are at least 16 states with similar cases working their way through various state and federal courts. Including one in Virginia.
Democrats are clearly terrified. And they ought to be.
There are recent reports that former President Obama has told his inner circle that Biden is likely to lose the presidency in 2024.
Frankly, it doesn’t take a Mensa member to know that President Biden’s poll numbers are abysmal. His approval rating, according to a Monmouth poll conducted this week, stands at 36%. That’s the lowest job approval rating of any president in memory.
Even more frightening for Dems is that in national head-to-head polling, Trump - despite a bazillion indictments - has moved ahead of Biden. A recent CNBC poll has Trump up by 6, a Morning Consult poll has him up by 2, a Fox poll has the former president up by 4 and a Harvard-Harris poll has Trump leading Biden by 4.
Unless a delegation of powerful Democrats is able to convince Biden to take himself out of the presidential race, they are stuck with this unpopular, failed, bumbling and barely sentient man on the ticket.
Bringing multiple politically motivated indictments in various jurisdictions has backfired on the Democrat prosecutors. Trump is galloping away from his Republican rivals in every primary race.
Now the only hope Democrats have is to cook up a way to prevent voters from casting ballots for Trump.
It’s profoundly un-American to keep voters from exercising their choice on the ballot, but that doesn’t bother the foaming-at-the-mouth Trump haters hoping to imprison their political opponent or the Democrat judges pretending that the thin 14th Amendment legal gruel presented to them has merit.
The Supreme Court will have to weigh in. If the decision is anything less than a 9-0 for Trump, America is in serious trouble.
