DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday declared former President Donald Trump ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause and removed him from the state’s presidential primary ballot, setting up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to decide whether the front-runner for the GOP nomination can remain in the race.

Trump needs to sue the state of Colorado for 20 billion for defamation in the reddest district in Texas.

I guess that make me a disenfranchised voter.

Just vote in other states.

The left isn't following any rules, why should you?

You are correct sir. But if this silly precedent stands, there will be nothing keeping , lets sayTexas from banning Joe Biden. And so on and so forth. I cant imagine the fact that other blue states have passed on this nonsense helps this insurrection crap in the big picture.

I doubt Trump could win. Colorado. That state has gone the way of California
I would think kicking Trump off the ballot would be disenfranchising voters to select a president.
What other states are trying this?

These things happen when you recruit liberals from California and other places to move to your ski towns, etc.

Denver, by all accounts, is pretty much a lost cause.

This is prof that depending on your perspective, art imitating life or life imitating art, John Dutton wasn’t wrong when he hated the developer guy.

Liberals ruin everything.

"I actually did the “homework” and determined that you FAILED to name one"

Yeah, you did it kind of like how a judge on a whim deems a presidential candidate guilty of insurrection and says they cannot be on a ballot. Good job. Here's a golf clap.

He was removed from the Presidential PRIMARY ballot. Not the General election ballot. Is that significant?

No. That's a fairy's (spelling intended) tale spun by never trumper consultants.

Now you’re just posting stupidity that exists only in your fevered imagination.

Who are you supporting for President? He’s probably no good, or someone like you wouldn’t be supporting him.

Have a nice day!
