The Republican Party doesn't have to nominate Trump. Any crisis is their doing.

Huh, usually when someone posts dumb shit like this they're purposely trolling. But you seem to just be genuinely oblivious. Good on ya buddy.

There's nothing political about the prosecution of Trump. He committed crimes in broad daylight We all saw them. And Biden's appointed AG appointed an INDEPENDENT COUNSEL to investigate and make all the charging decisions.

Contrast this to Trump who RAN ON THE SLOGAN "lock her up!" And who non-stop threatened to jail his political opponents!

The hypocrisy here is next-level.

The federalist is a right wing propaganda website.

All federal elections are illegitimate. Voter suppression, the electoral college, America's failure to make Election Day a paid day off, extremely frail voting infrastructure, legalized and (barely) regulated corruption (lobbying) and more all worked together to get Trump one single win, but the second time around, even despite all of these things working as advantages to republicans, Trump still lost to a different geriatric rapist imperialist because on top of having wildly lowered popular appeal, he also proved to be harmful to America's status quo.
