Colorado GOP finds a clever way to keep Trump on the ballot after the Supreme Court removed him…

The Colorado Supreme Court has laid all its cards on the table. In a move of extreme desperation, four Democrat-appointed justices have gone out on a limb to try and disqualify President Trump from the GOP primary by banning him from the ballot. Many experts are describing this as an actual “attack on our nation’s democracy” and a clear case of election interference.

Reuters:

Dec 20 (Reuters) – Donald Trump was disqualified from Colorado’s presidential primary ballot by the state’s Supreme Court on Tuesday, an extraordinary ruling that could be struck down ahead of the November 2024 US election.

Here is a look at the decision and what it means for the former U.S. president and frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination.

WHAT DOES THE RULING SAY?

A slim majority of the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump is disqualified from appearing on the state’s ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bars anyone engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” from holding federal office.

A lower court judge previously ruled that Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021, during a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters amounted to insurrection but stopped short of disqualifying him, saying Section 3 does not apply to presidents.

The Colorado Supreme Court paused its own ruling pending review by the U.S. Supreme Court, which Trump said he will immediately seek.

In case you’re wondering who was behind this disgusting anti-American move, here you go:

This is the Colorado Supreme Court…

Independent candidate RFK Jr. had this to say about Colorado’s un-American move:

I’m not a Trump supporter (if I were, I wouldn’t be running against him!) But I want to beat him in a fair election, not because he was kicked off the ballot. Let the voters choose, not the courts! #Kennedy24

Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has pledged not to participate in the Colorado primary if this decision remains in effect. He’s also calling on the other candidates, whom he refers to as ‘wannabes,’ to follow suit.

Vivek:

I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump is also allowed to be on the ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley do the same immediately – or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous consequences for our country.

Many were disappointed that Ron DeSantis released a weak statement that didn’t even use President Trump’s name.

The good news is that the GOP in Colorado is not sitting back either; they’re fighting. The party has come up with a plan to keep President Trump on the ballot if this Marxist decision is allowed to stand. The strategy involves transforming the entire process into a “caucus.”

You won’t have to because we will withdraw from the Primary as a Party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand.

Brilliant strategy, but let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, because this draconian decision should be immediately overturned. Right after the decision came down, the Colorado GOP put the gloves on, ready to fight. Here’s what the chairman had to say to Laura Loomer:

Professor Turley states that he has never witnessed anything as blatantly undemocratic as this in his entire life. That’s a remarkably striking statement coming from a man who is a highly respected constitutional professor.

Dilbert comic creator Scott Adams said it best:

I’m loving the Colorado overreach.

The decision will be reversed.

Trump’s poll numbers will go up.

But best of all, this gives you permission to assume the 2020 election was rigged — without proof — because “stop Trump at any cost” is evident in this decision. https://t.co/SP3Dih7q5i

Scott is spot on. This move just goes to show that progressives will stop at nothing—even going so far as to remove valid candidates from the ballot—in an attempt to keep President Trump out of the White House. Now, just take a moment to consider what they might have done in 2020, when they had the so-called “pandemic” and a tsunami of sketchy mail-in ballots to bolster their efforts. Scary, right?
