There's plenty of fine people who lean left and plenty of fine people who lean right. There's plenty of douchebags throughout the political spectrum as well. I'm hoping she ends up with one of the fine people, which is more important than their politics.

You really can’t be a “fine” person and vote Republican.

If you had said vote Trump, I would have to agree. I'm not going to cut out all of the right-leaning (not right-nutters, right-leaning) people in the world as bad people. There are plenty of right leaning men who will make excellent husbands and fathers.
This is probably a good litmus test though: I don't have a problem with you marrying someone right of center, but please don't marry anyone who voted for Trump in 2024.

It’s not narrow minded.
At best these people are stupid and/or ignorant.
At worse traitors and/or cruel and/or bigoted.

This could definitely help get the house back to the democrats
New York's highest court, has greenlit Dems drawing a new congressional map in the state in a 4-3 ruling.
This will allow Dems to draw a friendlier map & gain bunch of seats in House.

Would this not also remove him from the general, even if he's the GOP nominee?

well, while I always hate to admit it, NKTOB is right
just primary
I think the GOP could nominate anyone if they want to regardless of what the states do
it's weird, you think it would be bad news for stuff like this to happen to a POTUS candidate, but if anything, it looks like it will bring people to the polls

Voting still happens at the state level. Trump might have to get on the general election ballot as an independent or a write-in, but he wouldn't appear as a Republican. I think. Just spitballing here, could be wrong.

not unless a lot more states join in on not having him on the ballot. he can easily still get the nom without CO and ME.

wait, are you suggesting that the GOP could put forth a candidate for the general election even if that candidate didn't win their primary? i.e., "eff you republican primary voters, we're going with our guy over who you chose"??

Well, maybe not.
I was thinking how they didn't hold primaries in many states for the GOP because he was the incumbent
didn't realize that was standard in both parties and over time
But I could see that if he's off the ballot on a few states and wins a majority of the others, they would pull something like that

Not to revisit the Dems in 2008 but there’s absolutely a path where a party could put forth a nominee who did not win the required primaries. There’s so much political fanfic written about this.
