Democrats' Anti-Trump Ballot Stunt Isn't Going As Planned
Spencer Brown
It's unclear what exactly the "SAVE DEMOCRACY!" Democrats who continue to undermine democracy at every turn thought they would accomplish with their push to kick former President Donald Trump off the ballot in a handful of states.
When Colorado's Supreme Court decided, in a decision already being appealed by the Trump campaign, that the 45th president was ineligible to be president and therefore should be removed from the state's ballot, Democrats did a few things.
Democrats validated Trump's claims of election interference against him, galvanized Trump's supporters, and gave him loads of earned media attention that further amplified his message. What Democrats did not do: divide the Republican party or poison the GOP against the former president by kicking him off the ballot.
Instead, it caused Republicans to rally behind Trump at a level not seen since the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago and again make him the center of the political universe weeks before the Iowa caucuses. If Democrats wanted to debunk Trump's claim that Team Biden is engaging in election interference to rig 2024 for Biden, this was certainly not the way to do it.
