This would be an utter shitshow but really, it needs to happen. Can you imagine? It'll be some extreme turmoil for a bit. But the country that comes out the other side will be one that holds its politicians accountable to the law.
I am not convinced that Walsh's post envisions an endgame where Republicans are held accountable for misbehavior in equality with Democratic miscreants, but if so then I agree MAD would be an applicable comparison. And that it would be a good thing.
Honestly, if he is the nominee, Biden is screwed because being a generation younger, not being senile, and actually having a very good track record as an executive would likely generate as close to a landslide victory as possible.
It's relatively easy for Team Biden to deflect attacks based on Biden's age with the fact that Trump is right behind him. The same attacks would not have such an easy answer when the opponent is hardly more than half his age.
Despite that, it's currently looking pretty bad for DeSantis (or anyone else in that age bracket) to defeat Trump in the primary. On the other hand, if any of Trump's trials end in conviction before the nomination then that could plausibly be enough to overcome even a firm grip on the nomination. And, of course, we still have a year to go before the primary actually ends.
If he wins the nomination and
then something happens that makes the GOP willing to dump him, I am not sure what would happen. Can they rescind it? or is it legally binding? Would being in prison be a legitimate reason to invoke the 25th amendment if he was elected?
What I'm saying is voters of today and tomorrow aren't voting for a democracy because we never had one. Our Republic got killed and overthrown by the CIA in the 1960s and the next 30 years of election cycles need to be about making the descendents people responsible for that lose as much personal power as humanly possible.
Brother, you are a cautionary tale.
Example #2,
no one should fear the outcome of an amendatory convention regarding a proposal that can't get 38/50 states on board (except perhaps to fear the political blowback). Maybe an amendment to outlaw civil asset forfeiture could pass. Nullifying the 2nd amendment? lol, lmao
Wasn't national review a major never- Trumper establishment news thing?
Sure[correction: no], but I believe the point was that no one can reasonably accuse the
National Review of towing the Dem party line, or of being MSM for that matter.
