If #Trump gets removed from the ballot in one State, it will only benefit Trump.
He has to be removed in all States or at least most of them.
@mpopp75 how would it benefit Trump?
@volkris One state wouldn't ruin his chances to become nominee (and possibly President again) and he can portrait himself as victim even more.
@mpopp75 I see what you're saying, but with polling showing that it's such a close election so far, one state really could ruin his chances to be elected.
I'm actually in the camp saying that both Biden and Trump are so horribly in popular, with the public really wanting a different choice, that the first party to choose a different candidate is the one that's going to win.
And so based on that I end up wondering if Trump being off the ballot in a single state might be enough to prompt Republicans to go ahead and choose somebody different.
The way I frame it is, the first party who actually wants to win the election can win by choosing someone different.
So far Republicans have shown themselves to be more interested in fighting than winning. But Trump being off ballots might be enough to prompt them to reconsider.
We will see! Unprecedented times we are in.
@volkris It is hard to predict who will win the actual election. But it's almost a certainty that Trump will be the Republican nominee, unless courts stop him.
What I agree with is that it would be good for Democrats to pick somebody else. (Of course it would also be good for Republicans, but that won't happen, unless they are forced to.)
@mpopp75 Well again, I'm not saying it will happen, but I do hold out the possibility that Republicans will come to their senses and decide they would rather win the election and therefore choose a different nominee.
And things like these make that more likely, making an even stronger case that going with Trump risks losing
