If he's found guilty in Georgia, even if he doesn't do time, I think it's very unlikely he will be on the Georgia ballot, which will cost him 16 electoral votes he would have otherwise been almost guaranteed to win.
And then all we need is other states like Michigan, California, etc to not let him on and they will have to run someone else who isn't a treasonous traitor who sold/gave away secrets to Russia, NK, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.
There was a day not long ago when the entire republican party would be calling for trumps head and want him strung up in the middle of town. Now there are no crimes they won't ignore if it means getting the dems and making as many people suffer as possible.
Their only position now is "whatever Democrats want, we want the opposite."
Exactly. During Obama they reverted to being obstinate toddlers. Ideas that were originally their idea were all of a sudden the worst thing ever because Obama said it.
Feels by design at this point
It's always been by design.
Honest question from a foreigner: is it possible for the electoral college select a write-in candidate?
If so, Trump not being on the ballot may not be enough to keep him out of power.
