Because his argument is bollocks.

Yes, some insane Republicans might try to remove Biden, just as they are trying to impeach him. But a lot of other Republicans and independents are still faithful to the constitution.

This isn't kindergarten where everyone gets an apple or no one gets an apple.

There needs to be legal grounds, and the case against Trump is quite a strong case. SCOTUS will decide, and they will need to provide a legal argument for their decision.

Btw I'm not making the argument. I am stating the GOP is planning to use 14th to remove Biden from ballots in states controlled by (R) Secretary of States and legislators and likely state supreme courts. One example of this is Ohio.

It's the current game plan depending on what SCOTUS rules.

There is no definition of aiding the enemy and it's likely 2024 general election will have Trump or Biden missing from many states.
