Do you consider Ross Perot's third party run in 1992 and 1996 as sabotaging the respective Presidential elections?
The conventional wisdom at the time was Perot helped Clinton to win. I know I voted for Perot, but I have talked to a lot of unaffiliated who also supported Perot, so who knows?
President Bush breaking his "no new taxes" did anger me.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
udge Juan Merchan said Weisselberg would be sentenced after the Trump Organization’s trial. He said the agreement was for a five-month sentence to be followed by five years of probation. The judge warned Weisselberg if he does not meet all the conditions of the plea agreement, “I would be at liberty to impose any lawful sentence which in your case includes imprisonment from 5 to 15 years.”
The plea puts him at odds with the Trump Organization, where he worked for 40 years, and his testimony could damage the company, if it goes to trial on related tax charges as scheduled in October.
Weisselberg has been fiercely loyal to the Trump family, having worked for them since 1973. Yet even by providing testimony against the company Weisselberg will not implicate any Trump family members, who were not accused of any wrongdoing. If the Trump Organization is convicted, it could be required to pay back taxes and fines, but no individual will go to prison.
OH MY....perhaps the first "bite" by a BIG NAME.....WATCH WHAT HAPPENS
Big difference in "sabotaging" an election vs. helping another candidate to win.
Chew on this, President Trump runs as a third party and gets more votes, both popular and electoral than the Republican candidate. Do the Republicans bide their time and hope that this MAGA movement will become local as has the Tea Party movement and that Trump supporters will return to the fold?
What if an individual comes along to wear the mantle and rallies the MAGA movement? Will the Republican party go the way of the Whigs?
