The NY Times - Why Trump Is So Hard to Beat
31 July 2023
The first Times/Siena poll of the G.O.P. primary shows he still commands a seemingly unshakable base of loyal supporters.
In the half century of modern presidential primaries, no candidate who led his or her nearest rival by at least 20 points at this stage has ever lost a party nomination.
Today, Donald J. Trump’s lead over Ron DeSantis is nearly twice as large: 37 points, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll of the likely Republican primary electorate released Monday morning. ...
The MAGA base doesn’t support Mr. Trump in spite of his flaws. It supports him because it doesn’t seem to believe he has flaws.

Of that lot I think Scott is the sole candidate who isn't nuts. Admittedly he wants to return the US to the robber-baron era of the late 1800s, but at least he sounds rational in doing so.
The Democracts in contrast only seem to have one nutcase, RFK Jr. So the Republicans have as many sane candidates as the Democrats have crazy ones.

The NY Times - After Paying Lawyers, Trump’s PAC Is Nearly Broke
31 July 2023
Former President Donald J. Trump’s political action committee, which began last year with $105 million, now has less than $4 million left in its account after paying tens of millions of dollars in legal fees for Mr. Trump and his associates.
The dwindling cash reserves in Mr. Trump’s PAC, called Save America, have fallen to such levels that the group has made the highly unusual request of a $60 million refund of a donation it had previously sent to a pro-Trump super PAC.
The super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., has already sent back $12.25 million to the group paying Mr. Trump’s legal bills ...
Another Trump bankruptcy in the making? 🙄

BREAKING !!!
The NY Times - Trump Indictment - Trump ‘Spread Lies’ in Effort to Cling to Power, Indictment Says [UNLOCKED LINK!]
Former President Donald J. Trump was charged with four counts in connection with his efforts to subvert the will of voters in 2020.
“Despite having lost, the defendant was determined to remain in power,” prosecutors wrote.
The indictment was filed by the special counsel Jack Smith in Federal District Court in Washington.
It accuses Mr. Trump of three conspiracies: one to defraud the United States, a second to obstruct an official government proceeding and a third to deprive people of civil rights provided by federal law or the Constitution.
Prosecutors said that Trump and his co-conspirators devised fraudulent slates of electors in seven states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Some of the fake electors, the indictment said, were “tricked” into participating in the scheme.

EDIT: I have just watched Jack Smith broadcast live, outlining these allegations. Trump should be very, very afraid.
