2. I think the biggest reason is to prevent Garland from indicting him.

He will proclaim it all political if Garland indicts a “current candidate”.

10. I agree. It is a way to avoid consequences for his criminal activities.

He has been on a crime spree and thinks he is above the law.

Being a sitting president may shield you from indictment - being a presidential candidate does not.

hopefully this will be the down spirial for the GQP in many red states. Even many in the red states can't stomach what their 6 fucked justices are doing.

9. Actual Republicans don't want him to "run," since he'll overshadow all the races

And contaminate anyone running as a Republican by association. Adam Kinzinger, who has seen the truth, isn't running again.

I saw her post some photo done up by a trumper illustrating how he couldn't possibly have grabbed that steering wheel, etc.

I figured she was a repub as she lives in a tiny town in the middle of the country but this! Part of me wants to ask her - HOW???? He's so awful, so dangerous, loathesome and disgusting!

Sadly, she lives on SSDI due to a bad industrial accident (Texas- where else?) so you know he gives a sh*t about people like her.

Its just a crying shame, a seemingly nice intelligent person, after all we know about him, could still be defending him.
