ScotiaNostra Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Is there any chance Trump will get convicted before US election? I see some woman who worked for him has pled guilty and looks likely to testify against him. Also Cohen is now in court. Will he get convicted and does that automatically rule him out of standing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness. TBF, I wouldn't want to vote for any of his opponents either. The Democrats are almost as bad. He's maybe coasting on his self-aggrandising desire to point out how shit they all are. Well, that and the racism. Pretty poor requirements for a leader, but he's certainly not keeping any inspiring figures or genius problem solvers out of office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Harris replaces Biden, the D margin slims a bit, but anyone replacing Trump raises the D margins significantly. Haley polling worse than DeSantis, who’s trailing Trumps numbers significantly. Biden will step aside for health reasons spring/summer 2024. Hopefully Whitmer or Newsom will step up. Harris is not at all popular. Trump will be a convicted felon, surely he will be out of the running. I’m not sure who in that clusterfukk of a party will be the nominee tbh. Should be a resounding win for the Dems but we’ve said that before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 It'll be hard to get a conviction for Trump in Georgia, you need a unanimous verdict from the 12 jurors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just couldn’t imagine how that would go, revolution or revelation? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember at the last election your Democrat front runners were Biden (late 70s), Sanders (80s) and spring chicken Warren, who was 70. This to face a mid-70s Donald Trump for the presidency. Then in Congress you have Pelosi who is 83 and McConnell who is 81, and showing signs of age-related problems. Even with Feinstein's death there's another 90 year old in there. What do they have against retiring? Simple, the money 'earned' is too good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crackpots will fall out with him about something and we’ll see a vote of no confidence. Sometime in the new year is my bet. The modern day Republican Party tho, dearie me. They must be super confident in their voter suppression efforts as they pander more and more to their every decreasing extremist base. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised if the move/vote to oust him occurs due to the next Temporary Spending agreement… It’s not clear if one Member can trigger a confidence vote anymore.

Not sure if they changed that rule. McCarthy certainly said they should.
