Put your serious cap on for a second. Trump admits he took classified intelligence that he had no right to possess. If he wins, he'll pardon himself, or simply end the DOJ investigation into his conduct. That's acceptable? What does foreign policy look like under a second Trump term? The Kremlin? Is that acceptable? The botched response to the pandemic. Over a million dead. The unmitigated disaster of undermining public health doctrine. That acceptable? Think outside the bubble for just a second. It's not about you. It's not about your bank account, or how your 401K is doing, or how much your personal wealth increases. We're talking about democracy. Trump has threatened to rip up the Constitution. He's threatened to engage in dictatorial policies like mass deportations. Considering all the damage his first term did to this country - How can you possibly endorse that? None of it will matter since he's going to prison anyway, right? I'm assuming you thought this was clever. There's nothing in the Constitution or applicable law that's been adjudicated anywhere barring Trump from running the country while in prison. Nothing. With the DC trial date now vacated, thanks to due process, we are in another uncharted situation. And it all matters. Some of us value things. |

No, I wanted to hear your opinion on it. You've said that he's going to be in a jail jump suit, so I was wondering what may have changed, and why you didn't use that in your response. I think if Trump is in jail, yes he can still run, but there's no way he wins from there??? |

I still believe what I believed months ago, but there's nothing barring from running for office outside of the 14th Amendment. |

No, I was just correcting your craven desire to bow down to a cultist, unfortunately. Not everything on the planet, amazingly, leads to a a fictional bump in the polls for the Fuhrer. Specifically here, with Trump taking credit for overturning Roe v. Wade, yeah, that's not going to work out well with female voters. Spoiler. We aren't talking about a sex scandal here. So let's clarify that right away. In your twisted mind, which apparently has no ability to see clearly, you probably think this is some vigilante justice. Nope, a jury found that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll. Done. Facts are facts. The end. No whataboutism required. I'd like to remind you of truly what a despicable being that you're defending so vigorously. Scum of the Earth type stuff. Minorities? Check. Women? Check. Military servicemen and women? Check. Basically, if you don't placate and grovel to the tyrant, you're denigrated and despised. Trump is paying his legal bills with your money. The rest of us are just laughing at how humiliating that is for you. Are you trying to equate Hunter Biden and Donald Trump? Hunter Biden isn't running for president. That's a pretty stark contrast, wouldn't you say? The media covered Hunter Biden for months, at some point, it's just not news? Face reality: You backed the wrong horse. Now, you have to live with that. I guess when you don't have any integrity or sense of morality, that doesn't bother you. Shame. You’re the one who needs to face reality. Biden is no longer up for the challenges of the office. As much as the Democrats want to make Roe v Wade an issue, Biden’s mental acuity will be put front stage for all to see. He slurs his speech. He has fallen down more than the last 10 presidents combined. He gets confused where he is at or what time it is. People see that and think to themselves it’s time to put that old horse out to pasture. The fact you think he is a candidate who can function as President is laughable. And please, keep the demonizations of Trump to a minimum. Remove Joe Biden from the picture completely. Say the opposite candidate is someone like RFK Jr. Is your position that Donald Trump *not* in any form of mental or cognitive decline? Are the now numerous gaffes a campaign bit? A joke? |

FWIW, Trump wins the South Carolina Primary by a substantial margin. If there were any doubts on the matter, that has been erased. Trump will be the GOP presidential candidate.
The Democratic attempts to derail his candidacy will undoubtedly continue. The latest strategy of attempting to drain his financial resources with absurd monetary court judgments will undoubtedly continue.
I wonder if any presidential candidate has ever had to deal with this level of political interference and hatred from the opposite party. Much of the country who isn’t lock step Democratic sees what is going on and are starting to side with former President Trump.

Joe Biden won the South Carolina primary with 96% of the vote. There's no doubt (and there never has been) that Trump will be the nominee, as he's running against a ridiculously weak set of candidates and the party establishment is clearly not ready to move on, despite how unpopular he really is behind closed doors. A reminder: These aren't attempts to detail a candidacy. He declared to AVOID being prosecuted, even though that's not a thing and never will be. He's corrupt. Insanely, obviously and utterly corrupt. The question you should be asking yourself isn't if any president has ever dealt with such hostility, but has any candidate ever been charged with 90+ felonies? The answer is obviously no, he stands alone as the most corrupt candidate we've ever seen. He's also not gaining in popularity...he's losing it. And will continue to do so as time goes on, as the court cases move forward and the facts continue to emerge. |

"Most South Carolina GOP primary voters rejected the charge that Trump is mentally unfit to serve as president, according to early exit polls.
And South Carolina Republican primary voters are also dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country overall and rate the nation's economy negatively, according to early exit polls. In fact, nearly nine in 10 of these voters say they're dissatisfied with how things in the country are going — including nearly half who say they are angry about it. This is currently higher than the 36% of New Hampshire primary voters who said they were angry. Eight in 10 say the economy is either not so good or poor."
Color me skeptical.

So you're saying to jump on the Biden +200? Any plus money on Biden *right now* is fine, given what we know. He's consistently undervalued in the market and it's a binary choiceThe betting market does not view it as a binary choice. The betting market does not think that it is a guarantee that Biden will be the Democratic candidate on November 3'rd. Joe Biden 9/4 Michelle Obama 6/1 Gavin Newsom 11/1 Kamala Harris 20/1 Likely the nominee - not guaranteed. And then you have Robert Kennedy Jr. at 25/1 as a dark horse independent candidate. So no, it's not binary at all. |

The goal of betting markets is to get people to bet money, not reflect political realities. Trump is over 90% favored to win the nomination. Unless either candidate dies or something unexpected happens, it's Biden v. Trump for the presidency. |

That is part of the reason why M Obama, Newsom, and Harris have betting odds. There is also the possibility that Biden performs so poorly in public speaking between now and November that the party convinces him to step down from the presidential bid. |
