Democratic pollster Mark Penn said Thursday the Colorado Supreme Court ruling blocking former President Donald Trump from the ballot could “boomerang” on the Democratic Party in 2024.
The divided seven-judge panel ruled in a 4-3 decision Trump was disqualified from appearing on the ballot in the 2024 Republican primary election. “I think overall, I think this can play out as a boomerang,” Penn warned Fox News host Martha MacCallum.
“It’s not as though Trump did something additional that we don’t know,” Penn continued. “He’s suddenly being charged. He has been taken off of the ballot. You know, voters in America, they like to make their own choices. They don’t like to be told what to do and who they can vote for.”
WATCH:
Trump has led President Joe Biden in polling, being 2.3% ahead of the incumbent in the RealClearPolitics average of general election polls from Dec. 4 to Dec. 18.
“I think this is a very precarious area here for the Democrats, because of the potential boomerang and for the country,” Penn said. “The Supreme Court has to act quickly like it did in Bush v. Gore and these other situations and not let this fester and go out of control.”
Prior to Penn’s comments, former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker predicted that the court’s ruling would lead to a “state-by-state battle.”
“I think a lot of Americans are asking themselves about the rule of law right now,” Whitaker said. “Do we have it, or is it just these black-robed unelected folks that can decide, without procedural due process, like you said, that President Trump has never been found guilty or charged with insurrection, but somehow he’s ineligible in Colorado because four out of seven judges said he was? I think that’s very concerning, and as for someone that stands for the rule of law and procedural due process, I think this is an outrageous result.”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA?
