The Colorado Department of State warned that it would be “a matter for the Courts” if the state’s Republican party withdrew from or ignored the results of the primary.

    I think they see a useful personality. Hard to build a cult of personality when normally, your best orrators come across like a prudish pastor trying to do calculus while receiving head…

      But probably better to find one that can wait to do all the crime AFTER they seize complete control of the government. Right now you have a good chance of being charged if you step into his orbit because he can’t stop committing crimes and then doubling down them when confronted (like his defamation case where once he was done he doubled down and set himself up for another).

        Yea, but my point is: look what they’re working with. Frigging Mike Pence was picked to counter the less scrupulous parts of Trump’s character.

        It’s Trump, because every other Republican is quite literally too stupid, obviously evil, or too boring. Or a mixture of the three in most cases.

        That’s always the problem with fascists being effective: They’re very lame people.

          Pence was to get the gullible Christian vote, then quickly after Trump learned it was about being racist, not religion at all, and stopped even pretending to care about religion or Pence.

            That’s completely wrong. Remember the whole posing with the (upside down) bible in front of the church?

            That was years in…
