[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t wait to VOTE FOR TRUMP. Please leave if it makes you unhappy when he is elected again! [/quote]

Well, hopefully you don't live in Colorado (unless you're planning to vote for him as a write-in candidate).[/quote]
If Trump is barred from the ballot in Colorado his write-in votes would not count either.[/quote]

The Colorado Presidential primary is winner take all pledged delegates to the Republican National Convention. Trump could tell his supporters to all vote for Vivek, elect Trump supporters as the convention delegates pledged to Vivek, and then when Vivek formally withdraws before the convention, his delegates are released from their pledge and can vote for Trump at the convention.

If the SCOTUS says Trump is not eligible under the 14th amendment, then if the GOP nominates him, he still wouldn't be eligible. So what does your hypothetical solve?[/quote]

Nothing in that case. I believe that SCOTUS is not going to uphold the CO Supremes ruling that Trump is disqualified but they also won’t restore the lower court ruling that he engaged in insurrection but is not an officer. They may send it back to the lower court with a narrow definition of insurrection meant for the court to find that Trump’s actions are not insurrection. I don’t think this will be 100% resolved soon and Trump may be on the ballot but with some question that his votes could be voided if he is later found to be ineligible. [/quote]
