Pic Of The Moment: Spineless GOP Candidates Criticize CO Supreme Court Decision To Kick Trump Off 2024 Ballot

[EarlG]

Trump's 2024 rivals largely rush to his defense after Colorado court ruling

"Pavlov's salivating candidates" -- ring Trump's bell and they all start drooling.

4. LOL...I thought I was losing my marbles.

5. Is there a republican ANYWHERE that thinks about what they are saying prior to spewing out garbage like this??

[IronLionZion]

6. In 2016, he promised Hillary was going to prison

and Mexico would pay for the wall.

This time I want him in prison. They might limit his social media privileges but I want him to campaign from inside his cell. His rallies will be less effective without him.

[getagrip_already]

12. If he goes to prison, it will have a wall... a twofer!

And he won't have to pay a penny for either!

[Takket]

7. "We don't need judges to make these decisions"

Uh. Yeah we do. That’s why this is literally embedded in the Constitution. She can tell voters she supports a constitutional amendment to allow insurrectionists to serve if she doesn’t like it. Good luck with that.

[Emile]

8. And anyone of these Republicans get in a pardon

for the Orange Traitor will be their first action.

[C_U_L8R]

9. Of course they don't agree with the Constitution

They're Republicans.

[czarjak]

14. The "All men are created equal" part is a real stumper though.

[Maraya1969]

10. YES! He didn't listen to the last vote and only left after he destroyed the capitol

and many people's lives. And they think he should be able to reproduce that again?

[dslyahoo]

11. Always try to have it both ways

When an issue is being tried by a judge or court, they say let the voters decide. When the voters’ decision doesn’t go their way, they say let the courts decide. The end result is nothing is ever acted upon or decided on.

[MyOwnPeace]

19. Exactly!

The 'people' voted in 2000 - and the courts gave us Bush. The 'people' voted by a majority in 2016 and the Electoral College gave us tRump!
The 'people' voted in 2020 - and tRump refused to give it up - and millions have continued to support his flawed reasoning.
The bottom line - RepubliKKKans only think it's fair when it goes their way, either by votes or courts.

[Ohioboy]

23. What you said

[AllyCat]

13. Wow, is this spot-on or what?

What is the purpose of a constitution if it is not also enforceable by the courts?

[republianmushroom]

15. Well Haley and Christie, I think he should be in prison along with some republicans politicians, myself.

More republicans who don't believe in the Constitution , yet they want to be president..

[YoshidaYui]

16. Amen

He should not run.

[bucolic_frolic]

17. I'm expecting big things from Cheeto

This week, Mein Kampf and blood poisonings.

What's for the Christian Holiday week? Joe Stalin on the bennies of pogroms?

Maybe sacrifice a few journalists in the process. Need to tell them who's the BOSS!

[oasis]

18. Kick

[TeamProg]

20. A: Republicans are DUMB AS FUCK. 2 mutch Focks Noos. nt

[malaise]

21. K & R

These are sick enablers

[Johonny]

22. Anything to avoid rule of law

[Ohioboy]

24. Someone needs to remind Haley and Christie of two things...

First, we have a Constitution and rule of law.

Second, you both are trying to run against Trump, please act like it.

[Martin Eden]

25. They are saying the Courts should ignore Constitutional rule of law

For political reasons.

[onecaliberal]

26. Christie and Haley do not believe in the US Constitution.

They're still eating that orange shit bag and all his turds.

[Delphinus]

27. I remember when

the Supreme Court weighed in about GWBush - were you fine with that, Nimrata, Chris? The voters tried to get their say in that and were overturned.

[sinkingfeeling]

28. There are plenty if spines lying around orthopedic offices.

[AleksS]

29. And as if TFG didn't file

1,000,000 (failed) lawsuits to overturn the elections.

How quickly they forget their own efforts to hand the elections to the courts instead of voters. (I'm definitely not expecting them to remember back as far as, let's say, 2000?)

[panfluteman]

30. And What Makes You Think that There Won't Be a Second Insurrection if Trump Loses in 2024?

The point that was made in this picture of the moment is absolutely spot on! I couldn't have said it any better myself. Frankly, I'm kind of surprised that Chris Christi, who didn't raise his hand about supporting Trump if he was the GOP nominee in 2024, would suddenly turn wishy-washy and make such a statement. I don't think he really thought things through before making that statement, as its implications could be seen to nullify his whole position against Trump.

[SunSeeker]

31. Republicans love delegitimizing courts and the rule of law. nt

[lastlib]

32. To those who say "let the voters decide," I have one question---

WHAT'S WRONG WITH FOLLOWING THE F**KING LAW??!?

It's in the furshlugginer Constitution, FFS---right there in plain English, in the 14th Amendment, in Section 3!

There are some things that voters don't get to decide--like things that are written into law, in documents like the US Constitution--and presidential elections.

[NowISeetheLight]

33. Voters

We need the voters to decide... unless it's a glob of dead cells that could've been a fetus... then all the RepubQcan Christians should decide and not voters.

God I gate fucking hypocrites.

[Squaredeal]

34. All these Republican candidates are such hypocrites.

They know better. Don’t take anything that they say as being honest.

[liberal N proud]

35. Yes, the snakes show their true nature

Nothing brings the snakes together like telling one of the snakes the can’t have that.

[Kablooie]

37. Yes. Voters should determine the meaning of the Constitution. Not judges.

Get rid of the Supreme Court and put a team of average voters there to resolve Constitutional issues!
