The severity to which Democrats and the left suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome continues to amaze us. For Republicans and conservatives, however, watching Democrats every time they try to "get Trump" is like watching an endless loop of the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. The Acme Dynamite Company foils them each time, and Donald Trump's poll numbers go up once again. As the 2024 presidential election gets closer, and more speculation arises about Joe Biden being physically and mentally able to run for a second term, Democrats appear to get more desperate. But did the recent Colorado Supreme Court ruling removing Trump's name from the ballot also make them a bit more sloppy?
I don’t think Americans realize how close we are to living in a dictatorship. The Supreme Court is the only thing stopping democrats from wrongfully taking Donald Trump’s name off all the ballots. Think about that for a moment.

Democrats want to pack the Supreme court and now…
On Wednesday, following the ruling, Democrat Senator Chris Coons of Delaware appeared on CNN to discuss the decision by the Colorado high court. While Coons and every other Democrat celebrate the move to essentially disenfranchise millions of Colorado Trump supporters, it was something he said to host Kate Bolduan that should raise the eyebrows of every Republican, whether they support Donald Trump or not. Coons stated that “any action that makes it less likely” for Trump to be reelected should be "encouraged." Any action, Senator?
Coons appeared to perhaps buffer that statement and went on to say that those actions would also include voters who would not vote him back into office in the election,
“Whether it is a court that determines he’s unfit to hold office because he took up force against our Constitution or mobilized a mob against our Constitution, or because the electorate throws him out, I don’t think it really matters. If he’s unfit to hold office we should all be encouraged by any action that makes it less likely that he will return to the presidency.”
Sen. Coons may be talking about legal or electoral means to ensure Trump is not reelected, but the actions of his party don't seem to reflect that rational means are as far as they are willing to go. From the minute Trump came down the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015, Democrats have been frantically searching in vain for a way to make him go away. Literally, from the moment after Trump was sworn in, the effort to impeach him had begun. That was quickly followed by Russia collusion and the first impeachment case over a phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which Trump was alleged to have pressured Zelensky into investigating then-former Vice President Joe Biden. Then came January 6, 2021, and Trump's second impeachment alleging he incited an insurrection. Since then, there have been four indictments. Each time, his poll numbers go up.
The Colorado decision won’t survive and Democrats, like Trump’s primary opponents, are putting too much hope into external events stopping Trump.

The great Rush Limbaugh, as he did about a lot of things, explained perfectly what it is that is dogging the left. In a 2020 interview with Trump, he pointed out that "They're (Democrats) able to take out any Republican they choose." Limbaugh finished his explanation,
"...They haven't stopped you. They can't believe it. They're throwing everything — and so they are doubling down on doing whatever they can to try to get rid of you just to prove that they can, and it's frustrating as heck that they haven't been able to."
So, what are frustrated, desperate Democrats to do? The Colorado ruling may be an indicator of that. If Democrats realize that they cannot stop Trump, is it possible then that they will do the next best thing and stop average Americans, more specifically Trump supporters? Fox News Channel's Laura Ingraham took it a step further Wednesday night in an interview with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Ingraham asked Gingrich if he thought Americans would be willing to "move on" if the U.S. Supreme Court does not reverse the ruling. Gingrich did not mince words, saying, "...I think the Democrats are dangerously close to causing the kind of confrontation that would be truly disastrous for the country." Gingrich also happened to mention the last time there was an attempt to keep a candidate off the ballot. That was in 1860, when ten states tried to keep Abraham Lincoln off the ballot. If memory serves, that didn't go well for America.
Colorado is not alone. There are attempts in six other states to keep Trump off the ballot, with 13 other states where lawsuits have been filed. But if the Supreme Court takes up the Colorado ruling and strikes it down, it would likely mean the end of the other cases as well. If that happens, and Democrats and the left are forced to go back to the drawing board, how far does the bar move, and what other "actions" would be "encouraged?"
The new Democrat playbook: stopping Republicans from voting— from taking Trump off the ballot to denying ballot paper to Republican precincts in Harris County. https://t.co/jOYj1V4DmF
