    Any real impact from blue states barring Trump, or are we just hoping to set enough of a precedent for a red state to actually grow a pair and kick him too?

      He is blocked from the primary. Blue states still vote in the Republican primary, this means Maine and Colorado will be won by someone else. There is a chance if enough states do it, won’t have enough votes to be the nominee

        If that happens the pay will just change the rules and select him at the convention.

        They’re all-in with this doomsday cult.

      Isn’t Maine not all of nothing for electoral college votes? So while minor if trump did run he would lose some amount?

        That’s fine, right now it’s the momentum that counts. Hopefully other states will follow. I don’t know how this process works but I’m hoping he’s spread thin enough while fighting them all at once. Maybe that’ll do something to his pockets and stress him tf out, idk,

      No impact because the Supreme Court is going to overturn their interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
