The best part is which states insisted that the Extradition Clause be right in the Constitution, and that those other states were forced to comply.

I don’t know. Playing to the MAGA crowd hasn’t been a guaranteed winning strategy. In fact, it’s resulted in more losses than wins, except maybe in the House. I think if the GOP just stopped catering to that crowd, they’d be fine.

Alan Dershowitz has very recently given the anti-semites in his party the green light.

You may be right. However the GOP candidates/representatives/etc. haven’t figured that out. They seem convinced that without the redhat brigade they’re toast, and haven’t dared risk losing them.

I think it’s a calculated weasel move.
He knows extradition probably won’t be required, as Trump’s lawyers have already said he’ll show up in NYC. So he gets to bluster and play the tough guy knowing full well it won’t be up to him. But more of the base will see him as a hardnosed MAGA stalwart.

DeSantis: “You owe me, Trump! I’ve come to collect!”
Trump: (laughs, points at the line of hundreds of lawyers, contractors, politicians, employees, and family members he’s stiffed over the last 50 years). “Get in line.”

It is hard to believe this guy might run for President. I wonder if he’s stupid enough to call out the National Guard to block the New York State Troopers if needed? Sort of like a reverse University of Alabama “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door”.

I don’t believe he is. It’s a weasel statement. He sounds like he’s going to block it, but he didn’t SAY he would block extradition, only that he wouldn’t help with it. He has no choice, in any case. The feds can and will show up and take Trump into custody if they want. But more likely they will arrange to have him show up in court quietly and without drama. Then again, knowing Trump he’ll make a Production out of it and demand they handcuff him, because he thinks that’ll play well with his base.

I’m really hoping he tries to make a break for Russia - heading to the airport in a golf cart, followed by the entirety of the FBI blue lights flashing and sirens howling.

Perhaps not in general elections. But in GOP primaries, playing hard to the MAGA crowd has been very effective. And you don’t get to the general election without winning the primaries.

He is angling to pick up MAGA types when/if Trump’s legal woes catch up to him sufficiently to start peeling supporters away. Going hard against Trump will alienate them; ineffectively pretending to defend Trump will keep him as a palatable successor to the MAGA throne.

Soros never directly baked Bragg. Though of course he gave to some org that did donate to his campaign, it’s a bullshit claim.
When Soros eventually dies, who is going to be their new boogeyman that they will dog whistle about?
