I have seen nothing from Ronna McRomney yet. Maybe she’s getting her hair and nails done, a tummy tuck, and Botox treatments.

What about the Keebler elves running for president?

How about any other federally elected Republican official?

The silence is deafening.

It's almost like Rona McDaniel was a terrible choice. I can't understand how anyone could have backed her for the job.

They call me daily and i tell them daily that if they fire Ronna i will consider
Donating again.
One dude said that he knows she sucks but what ab our kids. I said get her arse out and we will talk.

Nothing will change. Democrats will send money to Repubs to subsidize them like the globetrotters and the Washington Generals.

GOP lawmakers slam Colorado court’s Trump decision - The Hill
quote:

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) railed against the decision, calling it “nothing but a thinly veiled partisan attack.”

“Regardless of political affiliation, every citizen registered to vote should not be denied the right to support our former president and the individual who is the leader in every poll of the Republican primary,” Johnson wrote in a statement, adding he trusts the U.S. Supreme Court will “set aside this reckless decision and let the American people decide the next president of the United States.”


quote:

House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) similarly dug into the justices, writing in a statement, “Four partisan Democrat operatives on the Colorado Supreme Court think they get to decide for all Coloradans and Americans the next presidential election.”

Calling the decision “unAmerican,” Stefanik argued Democrats “are so afraid” Trump will win the 2024 general election and that they are “illegally attempting” to boot him from the ballot.

Stefanik said this attempt will “backfire and further strengthen” Trump’s reelection campaign.


quote:

Without calling out Democrats directly, Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) said “they will do everything they can to block Donald Trump from being president again.”

Banks also appeared optimistic such “attempts” will not be successful, writing, “But it won’t work. It only emboldens those of us who know America is worth fighting for and that Donald Trump is the fighter we need back in the White House.”


quote:

Calling the ruling “extreme judicial activism,” Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert (R) said the ruling was designed to suppress the votes and voices of Colorado residents.

“I am confident the U.S. Supreme Court will remedy this horrible decision so Coloradans will have the right to cast their ballot for our 45th and 47th President, Donald J. Trump. We will fight this every step of the way!” Boebert wrote on X.


quote:

Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) called the justices behind the decision a “disgrace to our country,” and echoed the ruling is “just more election interference.”


quote:

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R), who publicly endorsed the former president earlier this year, said Democrats are “trying to imprison the party’s chief political opponent.”

“Democrats are trying to imprison their chief political opponent and have now apparently succeeded at removing him from the ballot. This is what dictators do,” Gaetz wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, adding he is confident the U.S. Supreme Court will reverse the ruling.

“The American people will decide their next president, not activist judges in Colorado,” Gaetz continued.

quote:

Conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) echoed her Republican colleagues’ comments, arguing the decision “stole the election” away from Colorado voters and “robbed” them of their right to vote for Trump.

“This is an unprecedented First amendment violation that must be struck down by the SCOTUS. This can not be allowed to stand,” Greene wrote on X.


quote:

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) weighed in on the decision, suggesting the Colorado Supreme Court violated an interest of the U.S.

“The U.S. has put sanctions on other countries for doing exactly what the Colorado Supreme Court has done today,” Rubio wrote on X.


quote:

Kari Lake, who is currently seeking one of Arizona’s seats in the Senate, said the decision overturns “over a century of judicial precedent.”

“This is HISTORIC election interference. SCOTUS MUST overrule,” Lake wrote on X.


quote:

Even Texas Rep. Chip Roy (R), who came under attack by Trump on Monday, expressed his opposition to the ruling. In a repost of Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-Utah) post that read, “This lawless, cynical ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court will not stand,” Roy wrote, “Agree.”

A day earlier, Trump went after Roy, who has long backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Republican presidential nomination, calling for someone to primary Roy, though the election filing deadline already passed.

Most of the candidates put out bland statements expressing disagreement with the decision, aside from some like Asa Hutchinson who applauded it.

But there was a pronounced lack of fire. It was the usual low energy loser tone, aside from Vivek, on such an extraordinary event.

The Colorado GOP says they will switch to a caucus format if the ruling stands. Just take state officials out of the process.

Funny OP posted this when I first saw the headline I went and checked Roma’s Twitter. She at least put out a tweet denouncing this and said the RNC would fight it.

Those are just words though…

Just like Meatball creating his campaign to ditch Florida and run for President when MAL was raided by the FBI.

Short of transparent globalist clowns like Christy, they have to oppose it, at least until the Trump problem goes away. But they all need the Trump problem to go away and Colorado has taken the step they were waiting for.

One day the "lesser evil" crowd and the "nuance" crowd is going to wake up to the fact they have been conned, over and over and over again.

The Dems and RINOs are too busy smiling as they enjoy the destruction of our Constitutional Republic.

It’s hard to speak out when you are grinning ear to ear.

RFK Jr. tweeted this:

If Trump is kept out of office through judicial fiat rather than being defeated in a fair election, his supporters will never accept the result. This country will become ungovernable.

Campaigning for the nomination by discussing policy? I guess they could be running around social media like a twelve year old girl, calling the voting public ‘dickhead’ or ‘moron’ or ‘you PHAT!!!”, but they seem more intent on explaining their policy positions.

It already is. Who’s really governing right now except the police state? Think about it. No one.

There isn’t much they can say. The Court decided the case that it had before it. It’s an extremely rare thing to remove a candidate from the ballot in any election, but the Constitution is clear in its plain text.
SCOTUS will take a look.
