You might not like Trump, but you have to respect him. The ruling class, swamp rats, are terrified of this guy. And since the left always tells you who poses the greatest threat to their agenda, that has to mean something. You get to decide, and if you live in Minnesota, you still get to choose at the ballot box.
Former President Donald Trump will stay on the Minnesota primary ballot after the state supreme court on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit seeking end his candidacy under a rarely-used constitutional provision that forbids those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.
The Minnesota Supreme Court declined to become the first in history to use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to prevent someone from running for the presidency. The court dodged the central question of the lawsuit — does Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol disqualify him from the presidency — by ruling that state law allows parties to put whomever they want on the primary ballot.
The Trump deranged will still have an opportunity to try and keep him off the general election ballot. The Minnesota Supreme Court made no judgment there, leaving the door open, which we should expect one or more well-funded left-wing groups to pursue. They’ve got the money and the time, but do they have the political capital?
Think of it as a boy in a dress who cried wolf. The Dems have gone all-in for years, throwing everything at the wall, but nothing sticks. Their fourth estate stenographers trumpet every engagement as the big one. This time, we’ve got him. But they never get him, and the current raft of prosecution reveals a trio of corrupt above-the-law prosecutors whose cases are thin partisan gruel.
The Dems made a yuge deal about Trump having unauthorized access to documents he declassified that were in his possession while he still had top-secret clearance (every former president has it). Leaving those facts out won’t survive long-term scrutiny. However, I suspect they hope to keep the will pulled down over voters’ eyes until after November 2024, which is not, contrary to past protestations, election interference.
And there’s the rub. Hate him, love him, suspect he will drive left-Wing turnout leading to a down-ticket wipeout – whatever your concern – if you refuse to stand up and protest how they’ve manipulated the process, you’ve no grounds to complain when they come for someone you do like. And if you don’t stand up, they will.
