Barnum’s American Museum opened on the corner of Broadway, Park Row and Ann Street in 1842. It was an enormous success, until it burned to the ground in 1865. But Barnum had a problem, the museum was “too” popular. People were so thrilled by the wonderful exhibits that they didn’t want to leave. So, Barnum put up signs saying: “This Way to the Egress.”

Most people did not know what an “Egress” was, so they willingly followed the signs which led them to the exit, and they found themselves outside on the street.
Today the United States Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, ruled that: “States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold “state” office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.”
This obviously destroyed the decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to remove Trump from the ballot, but it also makes it extremely difficult for any of the other “indictments” against Trump to succeed. This is a devastating blow to the national effort by the DOJ and local prosecutors to block Trump from being a candidate for President. That includes the cases brought by Jack Smith and the infamous Georgia case accusing Trump of trying to overturn an election. If the people prosecuting these cases are wise, which is extremely unlikely, they will see the obvious and end the nonsense. That will leave only the absurd cases in New York. One regarding an alleged sexual assault in a major department store where the plaintiff can’t remember the year and for which there are no witnesses. Another the case where a liberal Attorney General and a Liberal Judge decided that Trump somehow defrauded people with simultaneously making them a lot of money. Then the case alleging that Trump’s payment to silence Stormy Daniels was a major felony. The key witness in that case is a disgraced attorney previously convicted of perjury. These cases, while expensive to defend and embarrassing will do nothing to prevent Trump from running for President.
The Supreme Court, in its unanimous decision, has provided an Egress from this absurd abuse of power by the DOJ and liberal Democratic prosecutors. This ends the liberal naïve hope that somehow, somewhere, one of these absurd legal cases will stop end Donald Trump.
This now forces the DNC to look in the mirror and acknowledge three things. One, that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee and he will be on the ballot. It is increasingly difficult for Democrats to even pretend that Joe Biden is capable of beating Donald Trump. This is further complicated by the presence of Kamala Harris as the only viable alternative. If you shoot at a king, don’t miss. They took multiple shots at Donald Trump and missed every time.
It is impossible to predict what Democrats will do, but they will do something. They will consider doing anything to stop Donald Trump. They desperately need to choose a Democratic Candidate for President, but the Democratic Bench is absolutely empty. The only thing certain is that doing the right thing for the right reasons is the least likely outcome.
Those people who have a long history of not acting reasonably or rationally are extremely unlikely to act reasonably or rationally now. However, like the naïve people who followed the signs to the “Egress” in Barnum’s American Museum, they have just found themselves on the outside and they can’t even look inside. They have two choices, accept their fate, or look for someone much wiser to provide direction.
