With less than a month to go before voting begins, Donald Trumpā€˜s Republican rivals are once again rallying to his defense, this time after Coloradoā€™s Supreme Court ruled to remove him from the stateā€™s presidential primary ballot under the U.S. Constitutionā€™s insurrection clause.

Just as they had following Trumpā€™s successive indictments as he racked up 91 criminal charges, the GOP front-runnerā€™s opponents cast the landmark decision ā€” 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 ā€” as inappropriate, a ā€œstuntā€ and an ā€œattack on democracy.ā€

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

    Iā€™m sure all this cozying up will get them positions in his cabinet until they slightly annoy him. Even his last VP had his life threatened. Why do people want to be anywhere near this fascist asshole?

      Because birds of a feather flock together.
