Why Has This Not Happened Yet? Nine days ago, Trump said he would immediately request a change of venue for the election interference trial, and that Judge Chutkan be recused. But he has filed no such request to date. Why not?

Belief in the Big Lie is Fading Trump’s lawyers have repeatedly disowned their own specific stolen-election claims in the face of legal pressure. Trump’s 2024 GOP opponents are increasingly saying, contrary to his claims, that he in fact lost the 2020 election. And while as many as 7 in 10...

Smith Proposes Jan 2 Trial Date for Election Interference Case Smith says in a court filing today that it will take no more than 4-6 weeks to present the evidence to the jurors after it starts. (Source)

Is Trump Well? Since before he was elected in 2016, a number of mental-health experts and laypeople have speculated about Trump's mental state. That has gone on for years. Noticing Trump has spent the last few days spewing forth an extraordinary level of venom, even for him, I'm beginning to...

That is not an unreasonable hope for DeSantis supporters to maintain. Some may scoff at it, but it is not unreasonable.

Continuing Losses Rattle the Anti-Abortion Movement While some conservatives like to pretend that Ohio's Issue 1 was merely a vote about the constitution amendment process, voter comments and post-election alarms sounded by anti-abortion groups clearly indicate this was an abortion-rights proxy...

Donald Trump; Team Player ... Not By declining it himself, Trump just gave every other candidate space to decline the nominee-support pledge too. https://news.yahoo.com/trump-says-wont-sign-republican-004206391.html

Except, being found guilty of and being imprisoned for felony crimes, as several politicians have demonstrated. Few if any politicians have come back from that.

DeSantis Polling Plunge Continues In January, according to the FiveThirtyEight average of all polls, DeSantis' was polling 40.5% which was his all-time high. Today, he's at 15.6%. A New Hampshire poll just put him in single digits at 9%, which ties him with Chris Christie. (Source) A Fox...

That's a fair point, and one that makes another; namely, abortion rights votes motivate Democrats more than Republicans, when abortion rights are threatened.

I've said it before. Trump is a flight risk. He would defect to Russia before serving time in a US prison. Just recently, he's talking about living in France.

Yes. Rights are limited by age in many cases. Some say today no one should be allowed to hold public office if they are above a certain age. If implemented, that too would be a case of limiting rights. In the Issue 1 case, the question was not age but voting majority. Should the majority...

In fact, the Republicans did turn out. The issue failed because many of the Republicans who showed up voted against it. They too wanted to keep the right to amend the state constitution in the hands of the people. Issue 1 was soundly defeated by a bipartisan majority of voters who joined...

How do you explain the MASSIVE turnout? "The roughly 2.8 million votes cast dwarfed the 1.66 million ballots counted in the state’s 2022 primary elections, in which races for governor, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House were up for grabs." (Source)

Bingo!

Why This is The Defining Issue A quote came out of yesterday's special election in Ohio which nicely summarizes why the defining issue of 2024 is abortion rights. "The outcome is also a major challenge for opponents of abortion. They might come to see the Supreme Court’s decision overturning...

We all know Biden is old and getting older. Like Trump, he could pass away or stroke out at any moment. If he does, the Democrats will not nominate no one. They will produce a nominee. In the event of Biden's death or withdrawal for health reasons, Harris has the edge, but she does not have a...
