I'm kinda surprised, but also relieved that conservatives won't be able to point to my state and say we did what they expected. Looking forward to further disqualifications in states that aren't targets for "bias."
What bias tho. In what world do you want to live in where it's ok to have a president of the largest military presence in the world have power when they actively call for a civil conflict and has been arrested by the country they're trying to rule.
I don't consider kicking him off the ballot for his traitorous actions an act of bias. I'm just saying that my state doing so (Cali) would be pointed to as bias because we're "libs" (I'm a socialist).
This is probably a smart move… Trump will never win California but it will open up the Secretary of State office to lawsuits that will only waste money. It’s not like a precedent in California will help other states bar him.
That's what i was thinking. Taking him off the ballot doesn't hurt Trump, but doing so may have political or legal consequences. So they are just sitting this out to not give their opponents ammunition.
I'm gonna assume they're doing this to avoid setting a precedent where a Dem candidate can be removed for any reason later on. Not to say there isn't plenty of reason for Trump, but it's a dangerous place to be.
Yes, we agree. Not exactly what I meant. I'm all for Trump being completely excluded, but the GOP has made a habit of using what's put in place to avoid any wrongdoing to try and disrupt the good ones from getting things done.
