Meacham: Trump Running in 2024 Is an ‘Unfolding’ Constitutional Crisis
Breitbart ^ | 12/26/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/26/2021 9:01:16 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Historian and author Jon Meacham said Sunday on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” that if former President Donald Trump runs again in 2024, it would be a constitutional crisis.

Zakaria said, “I want to lay out what seems to me a reasonable scenario, which is Donald Trump seems to be trying to control the Republican Party for a purpose. This is not just a hobby. He would like to run again. If he runs again, assumption number one, he wants to run, assumption number two, he will get the nomination because the party seemed enthralled with him. He will run, and in 2024, whatever happens, will he claim he won. Doesn’t that present us with a constitutional crisis?”

He’s out there, but he is demented. Kind of off-in the same way that silver haried former sports announcer whose name escapes me was. Very full of himself.

I was talking about Zakaria. I never heard of Meacham. He seems concerned that someone with a large following might run for president.

He needn't worry.

Simply dismantle the numerous avenues of fraud which were used to corrupt the election in 2020, and there will be no problem.

How lucky we are that there is an “expert” behind every bush.

Just look at what those experts have done for us.

Sounds like the perspectives of a twisted, Leftist mind. No doubt a Democrat.

Meacham’s definition of a constitutional crisis.

We the people decide an electoral outcome not the Deep State.

I think we had an actual Constitutional crisis when a president used all the power of government to remove a duly elected successor

He’s written a few presidential biographies and has been around for years as as commentator the MSM drags out during political conventions, presidential inaugurations for “historical perspective.” Basically, he’s a younger, male version of Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Selected by the Bush family to be the official biographer for George H. W. Bush, Meacham’s book, Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush, was published in 2015. He gave eulogies for both President Bush and Barbara Bush when they died in 2018.[14]

Liberals love throwing the word "constitutional" into everything, as if they know anything about the Constitution.

"Donald Trump seems to be trying to control the Republican Party for a purpose."

Heaven forbid that a politician have a purpose! It is a "threat to democracy" for a politician to have a purpose! These people are truly psychotic.

….while ignoring the more obvious Constitutional crisis of media and tech oligarchs operating in lockstep.

Did he bother to explain exactly what the crisis would be?

I foresee a constitutional crisis if the dems win again

Donald Trump seems to be trying to control the Republican Party for a purpose. This is not just a hobby.

So, trying to save the country should only be tried if it's a hobby.
