But even if the spineless members of the GOP did in fact give in to Democrat demands and put Biden into office, this would set off a chain reaction amongst Republican voters who simply could not abide by such an abdication of duty, which would largely result in a massive restructuring of the country in a way that is not even comprehensible.
Timothy Jankowski - American Thinker "Not since Gavrilo Princips assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 has the politically-motivated action of a single individual threatened to plunge an entire nation into strife and crisis like the decision by Maine’s Democrat Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, to keep Donald Trump off of the state’s primary ballot.
"Does that sound like hyperbole? Allow me to explain.
"Donald Trump’s path to re-election in 2024 is simple: Hold the red states that he won in 2020, which he should do with ease, and win back the swing states of Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia. That outcome would result with him receiving 270 electoral votes, the exact margin needed to regain the presidency.
"The push to remove Trump from state ballots is largely irrelevant. He’s not going to be removed from any red state ballots and there are no signs he will be removed from the aforementioned swing states. Even if every blue state were to keep him off the ballot, the scenario laid out above would remain not just possible, but likely… with one exception: the state of Maine. Unlike most states which apportion their electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, Maine divides its four electoral votes by Congressional districts; in 2020 Biden won three, while Trump managed to win one from the more rural, conservative region of the state.
"Now let’s assume that the election plays out in the highly likely possible manner as suggested, with the caveat that Trump is not on the ballot in Maine. This means he will lose one of the votes he held in 2020 bringing his electoral vote count to 269, one vote short of the number needed to win. The result will be an electoral college tie meaning the election will be thrown to the House of Representatives to decide." . . .
Remember the insane . . ."As in Colorado, they throw the 14th Amendment and “insurrection” accusation at former President Trump.
"The problem is that Mr. Trump has not been convicted of an insurrection, or for that matter, even charged in a court of law. To my knowledge no one arrested on January 6th was charged with the “I” word either. I guess that’s what happens when a mob of people shows up without guns.
“ 'Insurrectionist” has now joined “racist” as the new “shut down all dialogue” buzz word in the Democrats’ vocabulary.
"My guess is that Maine’s Secretary of State knows that this insane idea will be overturned by the Supreme Court. She is only doing this to add some value to her resumé, or maybe to get a show on MSNBC. Once the Supreme Court (hopefully) shoots this down, she will say that the justices appointed by the “insurrectionist” protected Trump.
"In the meantime, the people who burned businesses and police stations are walking free because that was definitely not an insurrection." . . .
. . .The Maine decision by fiat will likely first travel through the judicial system in the state, as the determination of the Secretary of State holds no legal basis outside the authority granted to an individual office holder." . . . But she will be a hero.He said he had decided to "add her name to the ignoble list of Democratic officials claiming to defend democracy by preventing its exercise for millions of Trump supporters" and that "Maine shows why the Court needs to rule quickly, clearly, and hopefully unanimously in rejecting this pernicious theory."
"He did not think much of her reasoning." . . .
