Fifty-four percent of Americans -- and even 24% of Republicans -- approved of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to kick Donald Trump off of its 2024 ballot.
The Supremes will likely overturn it, but this is the best possible opportunity for the GOP to right the ship. I think if just one justice will cross and vote with the other side, Roberts goes with them. His legacy can go from Citizens United and overturning Roe to stopping the second insurrection from happening and saving democracy.
There’s also a slightly higher chance that they leave the whole thing alone and say it’s up to the states to decide. If enough states, especially swing states, bar Trump from running over the next several months, the GOP may need to call an audible at the convention.
