Former President Donald Trump just had his name removed from the Colorado Republican primary ballot by the state’s Supreme Court on the flimsiest of grounds — that he led an “insurrection.”
Like the four indictments we’ve already seen, this only energizes Trump’s base more, and his poll numbers keep climbing. Even the people running against him in the primary (including Chris Christie!) have called out such blatant election interference. Plus, the U.S. Supreme Court will possibly overturn Colorado’s ruling.
I’ve written before that Trump will more likely than not be the GOP nominee, something I have accepted as someone who likes Gov. Ron DeSantis as much as him. This newest act of lawfare will probably be the thing that secures it. However, it has also brought back the uncertainty of what will happen during the general election if Trump scores the nomination. As our own editor Paula just wrote, Blaze TV host and DeSantis ally Steve Deace spoke about this very topic in Iowa, and it encapsulates the uncertainty perfectly.
Deace rightly called out the Democrats and the Deep State for their blatant political persecution of Trump, saying, “Everything they’re doing to Donald Trump legally is complete and total BS, which is exactly why they are doing it.” He warned this removal from Colorado’s primary ballot will not be the last attempt to remove Trump’s name from a state’s ballot, and he expressed certainty that Trump will be convicted of one of the made-up crimes he is falsely being indicted for.
