Proposed: Congress would do far more to guarantee Trump does not become President again by mandating audits as President than by attempting to exclude him w/Insurrection referral.
@rotn@emptywheel I won't be surprised if he gets the nomination while sitting in a prison cell for trying to steal the last election. It's still possible. But I think the cashists are looking for a more stable face to give the masses and Desantis is probably it.
@RnDanger@emptywheel Looking back it seems the big early favorite, on either side, is usually a distant memory by the time nominations roll around. They will commit some grave faux pas and be shamed out of the race (Trump somehow managed to avoid this _ I think he may have been the first).
@RnDanger@emptywheel I think we don't know yet who the Republican nominee will be. Hopefully the upcoming proceedings will leave a bad enough taste in their mouths that they'll want to distance themselves officially from the assholery that they've normalized. #Trump
@rotn@RnDanger@emptywheel I am personally hoping for a DeSantis Republican ticket and a pissed off, petty Donald Trump independent ticket to spite DeSantis.
