Colorado Ballot Ruling on Trump Will Only ‘Drive Up’ More GOP Support: Ex-Bush Advisor Karl Rove
New York Post ^ | Dec. 23, 2023 | Rich Calder

The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to boot Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot could create a fundraising goldmine for him and increase his standing with fellow Republicans, a top GOP advisor said.

“It serves to energize the Trump supporters and to give the former president a chance to raise more money from people who are suddenly going to be angry about what’s going on,” Karl Rove, the former senior advisor during George W. Bush’s administration, told Fox News’ “The Story” on Saturday.

“This does not look fair, does not look appropriate. And the response is going to be to drive up the president’s – the former president’s numbers.” he 4-3 ruling, handed down Tuesday evening, cited Section 3 of the Civil War-era Fourteenth Amendment, commonly known as the Insurrection Clause or Disqualification Clause, which bars those found to have engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” from holding office.

The DEMOCRATS and RINOS overplayed their hands. Remorse is setting in.

Trump should issue a public thank you to the Colorado justices for their contribution to his re-election campaign.

Shocked he actually addressed this. The guy ranks right down
there with Jane Fonda, John McCain, Romney, Christie, Cheney,
Ryan, and McConnell. Lindsey should be in there too, since
we know every time he says something good about Trump, he’s
just moments from joining the above people to trash him
again.

It should but will it? All the Dems must do is make a few slick commercials denouncing Trump—maybe with Robert DeNiro or other Trump haters. Run it and the MAGA people will fold up like they did when the Tea Parties were under attack. If this is permitted to stand—the Republic is gone. All votes in the future will be a sham—we might as well live in Russia where the elections are honestly fixed. Nations are ideas—when the idea is gone—what left to fight for? Biden’s Corvette? Hunters Hookers? A new beach house for Obama? When its gone—its gone.

I’ve received 6 texts from the Trump campaign already asking for more $s based on this ruling

IMO < when you turn your back on a thirty year duty that has
been waiting for you to help out, it’s a very evil act.

Ryan and McConnell outweigh the others > IMO, because they
could have turned this nation around with Trump, and they
stood up for the NWO crowd instead.

We would not be where we are now, if not for them.

WEF gained so much ground in the last eight years, because
these two blithering idiots were jealous.
