seems politically perfect. Every day leading up to the election should see a review of the evidence highlighting his blatant criminality. Dems can work with that.

(2,580 posts)with a contingent of SS agents in arms length not so easy.

Mike Nelson
(10,943 posts)... and Nancy Pelosi timed the impeachments well, too. Part of their success means didn't get President Pence and the media saying how wonderful a calm, grandfatherly type he is... so why not reelect him? And, how great it was that he pardoned the Trump gang so we didn't have to "put the country through all that awfulness."
Pantagruel
(2,580 posts)but had to be brought to fulfill congressional duty. NP didn't time them, Biden didn't time the DOJ or Georgia indictments but the normal, thorough, legal process is working to a politically helpful timeline, IMHO.

CC doesn't present well and Trumpers aint likely all fans, so whose hiding in the weeds waiting until after the latest arrest to announce?
Ron D in rearview mirror shows him trying to outrun in his NICE BOOTS book banning protestors, 6 year olds, oh Ron D was in the military so, oops he is down, the rabid 6 year olds are pelting him with Dr. Seuss books and oh removed the boots and tickling his feet, oh girls YOU NASTY!

(14,075 posts)Too many Republicans are starting to wise up, unfortunately. I think it's even money at this point whether Trump gets the Republican nom, even with him "leading." Trump wisely chickened out of the debate (where he would have been annihilated), but the debate is still gonna be a pig roast with Trump playing the starring role as main course.
Pantagruel
(2,580 posts)is running against a 4X indicted candidate may be easier than the other guys or even a convicted Trump.
Caveat, I was very wrong about a similar dynamic in 2016.

(12,802 posts)know of him and they hate him. I don't think anybody expected him to be so bad.
