Trump to remain on Colorado ballot after judge rejects 14th Amendment challenge to eligibility

Former President Donald Trump's name will remain on the Colorado 2024 presidential primary ballot, a judge ruled Friday.

The decision came following a legal challenge seeking to disqualify Trump from appearing on the ballot, citing the 14th Amendment.

The lawsuit sought to use the Disqualifications Clause, or Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars individuals who have "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against America or who have aided those engaged in such activities from holding office, and specifically cited Trump’s alleged involvement in the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021.

Won’t stop the leftists from trying again, both in the states where the courts have already ruled against them, and in other states. They need one case to go through for the domino effect.

This is for the PRIMARY only. Once that’s over, expect them to show up in court AGAIN, and the results could be different.

(I expect Trump to be found guilty of SOMETHING, and this will be the basis for excluding him from the ballot in the general).

Democrats Saddened.

I am usually not into the schadenfreude of watching other people suffer thing, but I really really really want to watch the epic melt down of Trump winning next year approximately more than I have ever wanted anything more

“This is for the PRIMARY only.”

No, that is not how that works. The ruling did not restrict it to the primary only.

I expect Trump to bring them up on all the things they’ve brought him up on

I always expect Trump to win.

These judges may want to personally remove Trump but they are not going to be the person that does it because the backlash would be terrible toward them.

The screwy judge said he was guilty of insurrection but still kept him on the ballot.

Sanity prevails. A ridiculous case just like all the others against Trump. Even a leftist judge understands the damage it would do to her reputation if she agreed to remove Trump from the ballot. She would be a laughingstock.

I’m suprised by this but I think the Michigan ruling helped sway her.

President Trump is the best GOTV and fundraising tools Marxist Democrats have. He will be on the general election ballot if he wins the primary. Guaranteed.
