With less than a month to go before voting begins, Donald Trump‘s Republican rivals are once again rallying to his defense, this time after Colorado’s Supreme Court ruled to remove him from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause.

Just as they had following Trump’s successive indictments as he racked up 91 criminal charges, the GOP front-runner’s opponents cast the landmark decision — the first time in history the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate and one the former president has vowed to appeal — as inappropriate, a “stunt” and an “attack on democracy.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis charged the court’s ruling was a plot to ensure Trump wins the nomination because Democrats view him as the weakest Republican candidate.

      I guess what they don’t seem to understand (or are unwilling to understand) is that the more they prop him up, the less influence they have over the party and the much lower chance they have to win the presidency.

      Of all the people to stand behind to the end of the earth, they choose this guy?

        Not only that, but he has shown time and time again that loyalty only goes one way, and he will throw them under the bus the first chance he gets.
