PM:
New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlon said on Monday that the state would not be seeking to remove Trump’s name from the primary ballot.
Scanlon told NBC News he is “not seeking to remove any names from the presidential primary ballot, and I have not said that I am seeking to remove any names from the presidential primary ballot,” after hundreds of calls from Trump supporters flooded his office on Monday.
Scanlon said he does expect there to be challenges to Trump’s qualification to run in New Hampshire under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which says a person cannot hold a public office is they “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the United States.
The phone calls came after Charlie Kirk spoke out against the recent spate of articles prior from The Atlantic, New York Times, and other outlets saying thst elections are bad for democracy and that Trump should be knocked off the ballot. The articles claim that Trump should be prohibited from being on the ballot by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which was drafted to keep Confederates from becoming politically elected leaders after the Civil War.

So how and when did PDJT “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the United States??
FJB/Fdoj
NH is still Trump country despite out of state liberals moving there.
The guv, Sununu is a never Trump swamp lackey but he got elected because of his father.
Nothing much good comes out of the GOP these days.
(apologies to the very few good GOP members)
This is sooooo 1984. The Misinformation Bureau says that Trump incited an insurrection against our country, therefore it is true. Anyone disagreeing is imprisoned and called unpatriotic. Truth is lies, and lies are truth.
But guns are still guns.
suck dick nword
The Republican establishment agenda and interests overlap the Democrats agenda and interests. The entire Republican establishment is far closer to the furthest left Democrat than they are to Constitutional conservatives.
They only do the right thing when it is their own interest and they have no opportunity to dry shave their base.
Will they be removed from office by NH voters?
There’s a poll over on Revolver that states 30% of Trump voters will write his name in if he’s not on the ballot. Personally I think that percentage is off. By about 70%. It also goes on to say RDS is done.
https://revolver.news/2023/08/new-fl-polling-data-destroys-desantis-entire-raison-detre-and-blows-up-the-establishment-republican-narrative/
Sure Jan…
“[Desantis] would lose Miami-Dade to Joe Biden. Donald Trump would carry it.. a ton of Hispanics are telling us ‘I’ll write in Trump’”
Bwahahahaha!
This is TOTAL OPPOSITE of what happened in 2020 & 2022.
We have precedent already but go ahead with that fantasy.
BTW, writing a name in, no matter who = 4 more years of democrat rule.
Even 30% is ridiculous. A pipe dream.
If RDS is done, why is Trump so worried about him?
The only people I’ve noticed worried about him seem to be the ones who are invested in him. He doesn’t impress me as particularly bright. All he had to do is keep doing what he is doing in Florida, keep his head down and his mouth shut on Trump and he would have been sitting in the cat bird seat going into 2028.
Trumps got 999 problems. RDS is not one of them.
Without RDS as insurance, if Trump drops out, you would have Pence, Nikki, & Christi as your candidate.
IMHO, Trump does a whole lot of things that don’t impress me as particularly bright…
Yes Brad, yet I hear more venom from Trump about RDS than I do about biden*, the DOJ, DA’s, etc.
Now why is that?
You might as well write in Ross Perot because the same Clintonish result will happen that happened in 1992…
I mean, go ahead. I get it.
It would be a protest vote and I honestly don’t blame anyone for doing so. I really don’t.
That said, please be honest and admit that the results will be 4 more years of democrat rule.
From Trump (As in, how to alienate potential general election voters by projecting lies during a state emergency)
“So now it is learned that Governor Ron DeSanctimonious unnecessarily approved a 20% hike in Florida Electricity Rates, the largest in history (by far!), after taking a 9.5 Million Dollar Campaign Contribution from “money machine” Florida Power and Light, and subsidiaries,” began Trump on Truth Social Thursday morning. “Next up to check out is the Insurance Industry, where DeSanctus gave up the store. His campaign and poll numbers have ‘CRASHED’ to a point where it doesn’t much matter anymore, but what a shame for Florida!”
Sounds to me like Trump has his priorities ALL fucked up if 999 ain’t DeSantis.
What a dirtbag move…
Trump deserves what he gets when he can’t stop the diarrhea of the mouth.
^^^^ Have you checked the polls lately? Just asking.
Live Free Or Die…
…in New Hampshire?
aka, “Once Upon A Time…”
I’m not saying DeSantis has a chance in the primary if Trump remains.
I’m asking why the hell is Trump attacking DeSantis during a statewide crisis?
A state Trump calls home?
If DeSantis is only 0.1% a problem, why fuck over a popular governor during a crisis for no apparent reason?
Trump is Trump’s own worse enemy…
“I’m asking why the hell is Trump attacking DeSantis during a statewide crisis?”
I’m going to take a wild guess and say Trump doesn’t like the guy or trust him. Or respect him for that matter.
““So now it is learned that Governor Ron DeSanctimonious unnecessarily approved a 20% hike in Florida Electricity Rates,”
That appears to be true.
Well Brad, it’s tone fucking deaf to attack a guy who is managing a crisis while you sit all day meeting with lawyers.
Dumbass move…
If Trump says it about the 20% hike, I’m going to believe the opposite.
Dude lies as much as biden*
Appears he is auditioning for an MSNBC gig…
This is why:
“DeSantis has proven to be an exceptionally competent governor, and while most Republicans outside Florida think of the governor in terms of his bravery in fighting the culture war, most of his popularity in Florida stems from his ability to actually do the meat and potatoes of governing exceptionally well.”
Cool. I’m going with Trump on this one. You don’t raise peoples utility rates 20% right before a disaster. Or anytime for that matter.
When I look up the details and prove Trump is full of shit I’m certain you will apologize, right?
LOL, Did I do something worthy of an apology if you find conflicting info? Wow.
Trump does not know how to govern so he takes it out on someone who has to make the tough decisions.
Fact check:
Electricity rates increased across the country.
Florida was somewhere in the middle for increases and has lower rates than many states.
WOW
62% since 2019. They should elect a Governor that protects the people.

I’m waiting for my apology. LOL
He has shown this time and again, and especially so in responding to hurricanes. DeSantis does what few politicians do well: do a deep dive into the mechanics of an issue, think through priorities, prepare, and then execute a plan. The results speak for themselves. Even his detractors have a difficult time criticizing his emergency management skills.
He is that good.
This is how it’s done:
https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/08/31/this-is-how-its-done-n574854
“Trump does not know how to govern so he takes it out on someone who has to make the tough decisions.”
Than don’t vote for Trump. Be a man of conviction. Write in RDS.
I may just do that, Brad.
Good suggestion.
We’re getting 4 more years regardless…
Young Republicans poll:
Ron DeSantis squeaked out a win with 36.6% and Donald Trump took second place with 35.4%.
https://www.twitchy.com/justmindy/2023/08/31/young-republicans-yr-straw-poll-desantis-win-n2386763
Dude, are you copying and pasting off his campaign literature? LOL
Let’s see RDS get a border wall built, while every damn elected official in DC fights him, then come talk to me. What your rattling off is mouse nuts compared to Trumps accomplishments. In business and government. Compared to Trump RDS is an amateur.
When DeSantis leaves office in Florida, a dem can’t come in and undo everything in 30 minutes.
That is governing, like it or not.
Here is my suggestion for Trump:
Stop criticizing DeSantis.
Instead, take some notes.
Sure, the 2 AM ALL-CAPS ranting on twitter were fun for all but they achieved nothing but animosity from independent voters.
You will win the primary by focusing on your accomplishments and not lying about RDS.
You are way ahead in the polls but the American people still want to see you debate.
You are being challenged, so why don’t you go slay the dragons on stage?
I suppose biden* won* by staying in his basement, you will no doubt win while sitting in a courtroom.
Here’s my suggestion for Trump. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Avoid every debate. Hold rallies opposite their bull shit debates. MAGA!
Yet, it is broke…
Winning the primary is an exhibition game.
Trump has a chance to unite everyone.
Just like biden*, he prefers to divide.
Hence 4 more LOOOONNNGGG years.
Sigh*
You see things drastically different than I do. We are at war. You still have faith in the federal government. I suggest we agree to disagree and I’ll write in Trump if need be and you do the same with your candidate. If you’re referring to the conservatives uniting than they should unite behind the front runner. Not the guy in third or fourth place.
You sound fairly reasonable with that suggestion Brad.
Like you, I don’t want the guy in third or fourth place either.
Whomever that is? Vivek, Nikki, Pence?
It’s a two man race and one man is way ahead, the other is busying cleaning up after Mother Nature.
So far only four people have qualified for the next debate anyway.
One other thing about “Uniting Everybody”. He did that last time. And the deep state, Mitch the Bitch and company, played him. That’s how we got Christopher Wray. The last thing I want to see is Trump trying to appease these assholes. In fact I want to see him destroy them.
Ah but therein lies the rub…
In order to destroy them it must be from within.
Good luck getting elected with a MAGA-ONLY platform.
LOCO,,,, STFU. your are not as smart or informed as you think. In fact your are severely lacking at both. STFU.
meathead the backstabber sells out to globalist a-holes, duh, not too complicated. Those same a-holes oppose MAGA. DeSantis is toast and you backed a loser. That is your real problem and you are still trying to justify a mistake. Very Joe of you.
