    Correct, he he follows through with his threat then he will lose when it goes to court.

    So all he has to do is delay his action until right before the election, so the court can’t react in time and its decision ends up coming after the election is over. At that point, because America as proven time and again that it won’t redo an election no matter how flagrantly election laws are broken, it won’t matter and he’ll have gotten away with it.

        Lol that would be the funniest thing, in trying to wait until just the right time so the courts can’t act in time, he announces he’s going to take him off the ballot and someone says, “I’m, lt. gov, I’m so-and-so from Texas elections division and I just wanted to let you know we proofed and printed the ballots a week ago…” and then he just silently drops the issue because there’s nothing he can do…

        I can see it happening

      Or since he can’t do it nobody will listen and put Biden on there anyways. But let’s see what scotus says about CO first.

      The good news is that these asshats tend to fuck up their strategy and only make things worse for their own stated position. Memes about “Trump is playing 5D chess” were originally about trying to explain away nutty behavior as if Trump is a strategic genius. Given the way other GOP plans have gone–from the fight over the Speaker of the House to DeSantis picking a fight with Disney–this now seems common for the entire party.

      Which wasn’t always the case. GOP strategy used to be tight. Evil, but tight.
