BREAKING: CNN drops bombshell on Trump, reveals that “A Colorado judge has rejected three more attempts” by Trump “to shut down a lawsuit seeking to block him from the 2024 presidential ballot based on the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban.”

But it gets worse for Trump…

CNN reports that “the flurry of rulings from Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace are a blow to Trump” because “the case now appears on track for an unprecedented trail starting October 30th.”

In his 24-page ruling, Judge Wallace destroyed Trump’s demands that the case be thrown out, ruling that the key question of whether Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has the power to block Trump from the ballot based on the 14th Amendment “is a pivotal issue and one best reserved for trial.”

Even worse for Trump and Republicans, “Wallace also swatted away arguments from the Colorado Republican Party that state law gives the party, not election officials, ultimate say on which candidates appear on the ballot, ruling that, “If the Party, without any oversight, can choose its preferred candidate, then it could theoretically nominate anyone regardless of their age, citizenship, residency. Such an interpretation is absurd; the Constitution and its requirements for eligibility are not suggestions, left to the political parties to determine at their sole discretion.”
