It’s been several weeks since we’ve had a mailbag post. And I’ve missed it!
Here’s an exciting/scary fact: We are now just 308 days away from the 2024 general election. That’s only 7,392 hours!
I spent a big chunk of time today laying out where I think things stand in the race — primary and general election — right now. I hope you take the time to read that piece (it’s a little long!).
My (quick) conclusion: Donald Trump and Joe Biden are going to be the GOP and Democratic nominees, respectively. And Trump starts the general election with a slight edge.
Agree? Disagree? And what questions do you have about where we are — and where we are going? Also, while we’re at it, what was your favorite Christmas present?
The comments section awaits…
About the 14th amendment, I think there is a very clear case of Trump "giving aid and comfort" to the insurrectionists (who HAVE been convicted) by saying he will pardon them. IMO this is easier to prove than him being an insurrectionist. Is anyone making this case? Why not??
Love your posts and appreciate you telling it like it is.
Dear Chris
Well... my hair is on fire. I have questions about the Supreme court and its inevitable/eventual rulings on all things Trump. 1. What are the chances that the Supreme Court says that Jan 6 was not an insurrection, that Trump cannot be tried for "deeds" committed while in office and that the American public does not get to hear all of these cases laid out for them? I am convinced, beautiful dreamer... i know, that most Americans are not really paying attention and that when they get to hear that Trump tried to pressure states to not certify, that he did withhold documents, that he did participate in an insurrection they will not vote for him. If the Supremes weigh in before any court cases can commence, the chance to alert Americans will be gone. I do not expect him to ever spend even a day in jail, but i want my fellow Americans to at least hear what he has been accused of. Dear god in heaven. sorry to harsh your mellow just 2 days into the new year.
