Trump’s enemies pursue more and more indictments — to ensure his 2024 nomination
New York Post ^ | July 23, 2023 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 07/24/2023 5:25:55 AM PDT by Reno89519

There’s being fortunate in your enemies, and then there’s having enemies who are helping you take the first step in your political comeback.

Donald Trump and his adversaries want profoundly different things in the long run — Trump wants to be back in the White House; Democrats want him in an orange jumpsuit.

Yet in the shorter term, they both are seeking the same thing — Trump as the Republican nominee, either so he can sweep to victory (Trump’s view) or be beaten again and pay the price for his crimes (the Democrats’ view).

The serial indictments of Trump, even if it’s not their primary purpose, advance this mutual interest.

With every indictment, Trump dominates media attention and rallies Republicans to his side based on charges of selective prosecution.

The routine is so predictable, it’s become boring.

And we are along for the ride whether we like it or not. I cannot recall an election in my life, and I'm 63, where I feel that my voice, my vote, is more meaningless. Our choices at the ballot are being manipulated and imposed upon us.

It has long gotten past ridiculous. Even some on teh Left think so.

Had they just gone with a dozen or so it wouldn’t look so politically idiotic...............

You have only one virtue, you are relentless in your propaganda. Every election we get your type on FR typing propaganda madly with stubby little fingers. Go away.

Poor analysis. This is not a democrat scheme to help Truup become the nominee. It’s pure visceral hate based revenge. They despise him and us. They are trying to teach America a lesson. That is also the reason for the DC gulag, the arrests/charging of alienate electors, etc.

It’s not some rational plan.

It is a well known fact, in born again Christian elements, that when you are trying to, or doing good works, "the Devil" will be after you and troubling you in the way, but if you are not trying to do good things, you'll pretty much be trouble free in this human life.

It is wise of us to consider that principle as we see a man so viciously attacked for wanting to do something good for the nation that allowed him to prosper.

The history of Donald J Trump, though not perfect as is our own . . . is full of two consistent things

He has always had a heart for someone in need of financial help (though not a sucker for any or every sob story)

and that his intentions for his future was to NOT be President 1988 Oprah interview

Pajama boy is sad because Trump’s winning. Boo-hoo. Wimper, wimper.

He’s an angry little fella.

He could’ve written about the biggest scandal in Presidential history but he has TDS and he has to address his emotions.

He’s good with Biden

Our choices at the ballot are being manipulated and imposed upon us.

Your "choices" at the ballot have been manipulated and imposed upon you (and me) ever since we had birth certificates and were marked with social security numbers.

The "choice" of Trump will usher in big changes. When we can finally have an election without the Swamp butting in, it will be a great day.

I think this article is right on target...the thing that’s amazing is how obvious their scam is. For example, they delayed one of Trump’s trials at the last minute so it will now coincide with the real start of the campaign season and thus rev up support for Trump again.

The left thinks he will lose against Biden, and they want to make sure they keep people focused on Trump and not on stronger candidates who would be more of a threat. Also, both Trump and Biden have announced they are not doing debates or open interviews, so it’s important to the Dems to keep Biden out of the public eye and with a piece of tape over his mouth, something that would be hard to do with an opposition candidate who wanted to debate.

Our elections are indeed so manipulated by everything from the media to the voting processes that it’s hard to see that we’ll ever be able to elect anybody even slightly decent again.

Spain just had their elections, where the right was expected to win overwhelmingly...but they didn’t, because the election was called suddenly (almost no notice), 1/4 of the voters were away on vacation, people had to vote by mail, which required registering for mail-in ballots first, and of course now other “irregularities” are emerging, especially in the traditionally conservative areas, which may have suppressed the vote. The left does it every time.

The Democrats are not going to let Trump be on the ballot. There is no authority that can stop them. They will say he is ineligible because he organized an insurrection. The GOP will pretend to be angry and will hold hearings. The SC will pontious pilate and decline to insert themselves into the conflict. If people organize protests, they will be arrested as co-insurrectionists. His name will not be on the ballot in all or the majority of states. Some GOP schlub will graciously accept the job of losing the general election with no fight.

Our country needs a great reset, from corrupt marxist deep state run by unelected leftists to a free constitutional republic again.

I think the fence sitters would be inclined to fall for the BS. Something about telling a lie often enough. At least the Trumpster is bringing all this shit out into the open. Most other republicans run for the tall grass.
