Here’s the concern I have about Trump running as the Republican nominee.
Under normal conditions, any candidate with Trump’s momentum would easily waltz into the nomination and defeat all challengers in the Republican Party.
However, we know the Democrats and many establishment Republicans will do anything to keep that from happening.
It’s not fair and will tear the country apart but it won’t matter to these people.
Trump is currently under indictment in NY over bogus charges, I fully expect at least 2 more indictment, one in Georgia for questioning the last election and one federal indictment over his handling of documents from the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Additionally, Trump is likely going to lose his civil case against the woman claiming he raped her years ago.
Can the Republican Party afford to nominate someone who is facing 3 criminal indictments and a civil judgement for Rape.
Let’s say he actually wins the nomination and general election and becomes POTUS, if he’s convicted in any of the criminal cases against him, would that not be considered high crimes and misdemeanors and grounds for impeachment, knowing full well a bunch of Republicans would join in to impeach him again.
This is the worst-case situation that needs to be considered.
A conviction didn’t stop Marion Barry.
Heck, it probably HELPED him.
“if he’s convicted in any of the criminal cases against him, would that not be considered high crimes and misdemeanors and grounds for impeachment, knowing full well a bunch of Republicans would join in to impeach him again.

Generally no. Because high crimes and misdemeanors refers to actions while in office. And the prosecutors are not acting in good faith, but instead are acting with a political purpose. And if the people decide to elect a candidate despite convictions, then the Congress would be hard-pressed to remove on that basis. It would be a non-starter.
The purpose of the trials is to prevent Trump from being on state ballots, but it’s not working. And the people in the primaries would just write him in anyway. They’re flailing and failing.
So you’re saying we should just accept the lawfare loss?
Why would the next guy not have the same issues, if he’s any good?
Know what I am worried abot? Squishes like you scaring the sheeple out there. GSo go bray somewhere else you loser. Desantis sucks, Go Trump!!!
So you’re solution is to give in to those people?
There’s a stupid...
Do you think they will be any nicer to DeSantis if he won?
Would DeSantis have the guts to stand up to the slings and arrows as much as Trump has? And he is siding with the establishment swamp dwellers, who want Trump out. Desantis could have waltzed into 2028 easily if he hadn’t proven to be a backstabber.
SURE no noise over Obama’s Classified Documents——
