We should never hope for Trump on the ballot. Even if that means Haley fuming it out with Uncle Joe. Trump should not be allowed to run. Period.
Why do you think Democrat leadership keeps saying things like 'we need to best Trump at the polls'. They don't want to take Trump off the ballot because they know it reduces their chances. They're catering to a fascist so they can win an election. That was the 2016 strategy.
It's because every Republican candidate is Trump with less make-up. They all share the same fascist platform.
You better believe they want Trump removed from the ballot, and there's two outcomes why: The first and likely is that Trump wins nomination. On states where he's not on the ballot, there will be people who do not vote at all and this affect downstream voting. The second is that Trump somehow loses nomination. There will indeed be people who write-in Trump, and while this is actually a worse outcome due to downstream voting being affected, this outcome would be largely unaffected by Trump's removal or not. Primary voters are gonna write things in, and especially Republican ones that feel like the system is rigged.
They're literally saying they don't want him removed from the ballot, California rejected it, Jeffries wants to beat him at the polls. If the Democrat leadership wants him off the ballot they're certainly not saying so out loud and I have no idea why you think they are.
