Not a bad idea.
I am glad the Ron DeSantis is making a principled stand.
Agree.
If he is doing this now, you know at sentencing he will put him in jail.
Thank you for your donation. The amount doesn’t matter. Please encourage all your conservative friends to give what they can, even it’s just $10. And ask them to encourage all their conservative friends to do the same. This is too important to sit on the sidelines.
I would say to Trump………..make them eat where they $hit, burn it down.

The prosecutor is a politician who promised to nail Trump.
The judge’s daughter is a Democrat operative who literally *raised $$ from the trial* while her father presided over it.
The jury instructions said they didn’t have to agree on the crime to convict.
This will backfire.
I also predict, if it’s possible, that Dem AG’s or election officials of Dem-run states will try to get Trump removed from ballots for the same reason... “Felons can’t run”.
I’m pretty sure that Bob Ferguson, AG of the state of Washington will say something similar. By the way, he’s also running for governor.
See my Tucker Carlson thread. He believes assassination is next if this doesn’t slow down Trump.
🙋👍💯
“I hope this isn’t a “I’m a victim” presser. This is bigger than DJT.””

You just exposed yourself as a rat. Trump is the most attacked, threatened, persecuted and prosecuted president United States history.
If anyone is a victim it’s Trump. What a poser you are.
They already went down that road with "insurrectionist."
SCOTUS ruled that the requirements to be President are in the Constitution and that states cannot add to it. "Felon" is not a disqualifier in the Constitution.

Bragg is the hero of the hour in Liberalville America, the man who got Trump. But he had earned him lots of kudos but he best enjoy it now because his fame will not last. Over half of America see him as a symbol of corruption and Lawfare.
I fear the worst for Trump! They need to take him out now, before an appeal tosses the charges. Where is the Supreme Court? Isn’t this what its for? This isn’t normal times.
I brought that up in another thread. Would love to see Hochul order the NY State Police try to bring him back from Florida.
The DeSantis beat down would be epic.
Hey, EVERY ballot is created equally and endowed by it’s creators to be counted frequently!
The nation abhprs him, yes. But he’s a hero in NYC.
The Democrats might rig a trial, but they wouldn’t rig an election, right ?

An excellent question for Democrats to ponder.
“Trump should demand that the RNC move up its convention by a week to get around Merchan’s sentencing date.
And then hold the nomination virtually like Biden and screw Milwaukee. “
____________________________
Interesting thought. Problem is that Biden is doing it to qualify to be on the Ohio ballot and Trump would be doing it to thwart RNC traitors’ attempts to nominate Haley instead if Trump is soon suppose to surrender to custody after that date.
These same traitors, because they are traitors plotting against Trump, aren’t going to go for this moving up of the nomination date. And if there aren’t enough traitors in the RNC to pull off nasty business they aren’t going to be able to do it period, before or after July 11, so Trump may as well thumb his nose at the D’s by having a normal convention.
Moreover, securing the nomination earlier does nothing to stop D states from getting Trump off the ballot due to being a felon, not that it matters in many because he wouldn’t win them anyway, but it could matter in a place like Nevada that he has a chance at this time around.
Here’s my radical idea:
Who should Trump pick as his VP running mate and announce as such at least a week before July 11 who would scare the sh*t out of the DNC/Deep State? This person, Trump should make clear, as the choice of the person, Trump, who won the most delegates is the only other person Trump as delegate leader would accept be nominated instead of him.
This person could immediately put forth his own VP running mate, a person just as scary to the DNC/Deep State.
Both of the two could agree that they regard Trump as the rightful nominee/candidate and that the one standing in as the R presidential nominee will step aside for Trump to resume his place once the dust clears/Supreme Court weighs in.
I’m thinking Ben Carson should be one of these two, probably at the top of the ticket, because he is so likable and saintlike and his stepping aside seems in character for him.
Ben’s VP pick, who should of course be someone Trump is really happy with, should be a bit of a pitbull type. I’m thinking that Missouri AG.
Force the DNC/Deep State to go after Trump’s two chosen men.
(Men—because I really can’t think of a woman who would be a good choice.) The DNC/Deep State would seem even more evil and ridiculous.
Yeah, I know I am going to get pilloried on this one.
So Carson runs, wins (well, okay, loses after he is winning handily and vote counting is shut down at 2 am and then suddenly Carson starts getting behind in vote count, you know the routine) and gets in as President (after months of whatever conflaguration has to be gone through to get there), resigns and rides off into the sunset to become a wise, sage president emeritus type. The other guy becomes president, puts forth Trump as his VP, and then resigns and becomes head of the Justice Dept. or something he’d much rather be doing than be VP or prez. Trump then puts in cool dude #3 as his VP, whoever that is, Vance, Gaetz, etc.
Force the DNC and Deep State to deal with someone just a hair less problematic for them than Trump.
I'm not concerned about a stalking horse candidate at the convention. Trump has it all sown up.
That's why Trump put his daughter-in-law Lara Trump in charge as Co-Chair of the RNC. The other Co-Chair Robert Whatley was part of George W. Bush's Florida recount team in 2000 and is a Trump insider who was on the phone call with Brad Raffensperger in Georgia in 2020.
Not possible. They already went down that road with "insurrectionist."
SCOTUS ruled that the requirements to be President are in the Constitution and that states cannot add to it. "Felon" is not a disqualifier in the Constitution.
It's not in Trump's nature to hide behind someone else. It's his nomination and I expect he fully intends to receive it.
The problem with letting someone else take it "in good faith" is that power corrupts. No one can guarantee that the stand-in (even if it is someone like Ben Carson) will step aside after the nomination. To many players will try to influence the person to keep the nomination so they can insinuate themselves into the campaign, and hopefully, the administration. There is just too much money to be made running a presidential campaign to trust a stand-in to step aside on a handshake agreement to "do the right thing."
No pillories, just concerns.
