Does the #Resistance want to re-elect Trump?

Why would the #Resistance want to re-elect Donald Trump? Well ... no more Trump, no more #Resistance. 

The Resistance Is Going to Make Donald Trump President Again | Mediaite | Isaac Schorr:

December 20, 2023 - "The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to try to kick Trump off the [state] ballot on Tuesday was the decadent, spurious, irresponsible, inevitable, and logical conclusion to the longstanding practices of the Resistance, which for six years has been the former president’s greatest asset. 

Trump couldn’t just be a vain, self-serving charlatan willing to seize upon every advantage available to him. He had to be a Russian asset ... and/or blackmailed fetishist with a secret video ready to drop at any moment.

You could never admit that, despite the divisive, overheated rhetoric, Trump was smart to address the crisis at America’s southern border. Instead, his successor quickly shelved the effective policy measures that were implemented, deepening the crisis.

There was no time to investigate the role the Chinese Communist Party played in starting the Covid-19 pandemic because Trump had uttered the words 'China Virus.' 

The Trump administration’s prodigious and ultimately successful effort to develop vaccines to beat back that pandemic couldn’t have been acknowledged as a triumph until Election Day, so the vaccines had to be smeared as dangerous, experimental drugs.

How many man-hours were devoted to searching for the pee tape?

What were the cable news splits on coverage of the substantive issues at the border versus Trump’s comments about it?

Were Jonathan Chait or Kamala Harris ever held responsible for their reckless conspiracy theorizing?...

"Trump was no lock to reprise his role as the Republican standard-bearer as recently as March of this year. Voters seemed to have tired of the former president, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had closed the national polling gap between them to 15 without even declaring his candidacy. He was even besting Trump in some statewide polls in Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Michigan.

"Enter Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who dropped in a flimsy criminal indictment against Trump in the spring that just about everyone intuitively understood would not have been brought against any other defendant. Within a month, Trump’s lead had doubled. The more substantive indictments that followed had the same effect despite the fact that they were much more meritorious. Four separate criminal indictments in such a short period of time in the lead up to an election were ... seen as a political effort to keep Trump off the ballot.

"Not only did the indictments cause Republicans to rally around the leader, it gave him the confidence to skip out on the primary debates that would have given DeSantis, or potentially Nikki Haley the opportunity to expose and supplant Trump.... Now Trump leads both of them by 50 points, and if there was ever a chance of an alternative pulling off a miracle upset, it was dashed by the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to try to remove the nearly presumptive GOP presidential nominee from the ballot.... 

"Trump already leads Biden by three points in polls, and he doesn’t need to perform nearly that well to win the election. In 2020, Biden won the popular vote by 4.5% and the Electoral College by more than 70 votes. But really the election was only decided by his razor-thin margins of victory in states like Georgia (.23%), Arizona (.30%), Wisconsin (.63%), and Pennsylvania (1.17%). Trump, by the way, is presently positioned to win all of those and more."
