(25,673 posts)Much of it is left up to interpretation, and that itself is an issue. This issue was never anywhere near as cut-and-dried as pundits and celebrity lawyers claimed it to be. Many had formed completely unrealistic expectations of this case based on those statements. We really need to stop taking media personalities and TV lawyers who get paid to support an agenda at face value. We hear what we want to hear and ignore the rest.

"their intent is to stand by Donald when they had a pathway not to do so"
Including the liberals? They're clearly not standing by Donald. That assertion is ridiculous. Read what they wrote in the ruling.
"demonstrated a willingness to lie and cheat"
That applies to anyone would might realistically replace him in this race. Trump isn't the disease. He's a symptom. Until very recently, Haley was running as just another variety of Trump, and the others, except for Christie, are even worse.
He's the weakest candidate because he's damaged goods. He motives his base, certainly, but he motivates Democrats just as much, if not more. Look at 2020. The more losses he racks up (he's already on the hook for $500 million and a criminal trial starts in three weeks), the more we're going to be motivated and the better the chances that independents will swing back to Biden, as they did in 2020.
Haley does significantly better than Trump head-to-head vs. Biden. She almost certainly would be a better GE candidate. The claims that white guys won't vote for her if she's the nominee are just wishful thinking based on silly stereotypes. Republicans will vote for the person with the (R) by their name in November.
