Delegate Math and the Futility of Haley’s Challenge to Trump
Delegate Math and the Futility of Haley’s Challenge to Trump
It’s not the final vote count in South Carolina that explains why the race might end so quickly. It’s the delegate count.
It's going to be Trump vs Biden, which is why I'm backing Biden with both volunteer time and a donation
You're viewing a single thread.
Haley's path to the nomination is Trump getting disqualified, not winning delegates.
Her path is for Trump to be ineligible, incarcerated, or interred. Every one of those outcomes is possible, if unlikely. But if that happens, she ends up being the only other Republican with any delegates at all.
"Incarcerated" wouldn't stop Trump from being a candidate (or in fact taking office, for that matter).
It would be difficult for the Chief Justice to administer the Oath of Office if the electee is detained in a Georgia State prison....
I'm sure it can be done in a booth with a plexiglass barrier between them.
Why would that be difficult? I'm sure the prison will get used to letting in all sorts of people. World leaders, various grifters of the week, ambassadors, etc. Not that it'll ever happen, the SC will say he can pardon himself. That's why he put them in after all.
He might also drop dead. People focus on Biden's age, but Trump's fat, old, and likely suffers from dementia.
I find it really hard to believe that the Supreme Court will allow that
The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over a political party's nomination process. That said ...
