Pretty sure most of those are gone too at this point.
The only base they still have and will never lose are the hard leftist crowd, but I know something really unique there - while it's generally considered that these represent the floor 30% he will never lose, the truth is a little more dire than this; he's doing floor in that demographic. Putting it differently, they're having to poll this specific demo just to get numbers that look this shitty, because if they went with any even remotely more hostile he'd look even worse.

Four words : Hillary Clinton's "private" server.

They will pardon Trump, not because of some weird agreement or lack of evidence, but because prosecuting him would set a precedent that would result in open season on our ruling class.
Simply put if there's no pardon and he goes to trial they would have to bring Obama over for the bailouts and drone strikes, W for basically everything he's done and Clinton for shit like Waco, the Balkan wars and other shady deals. Add to that most of congress and a long list of bureaucrats with a rap sheet that goes from corruption in the trillions to war crime enablers.
Easier to just let Trump walk, their NPCs will keep "voting blue no matter who".

Oh, you poor sweet summer child. Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "rules for thee, not for me?" Hell, @verissimus rightly pointed out that they're pushing "DRUMPF HID DOCUMENTS AT MAR-A-LAGO" so hard, and yet, when Hillary's "private" email server got leaked, they squashed that shit faster than you could say, "wait, she had WHAT on there?!"

And that would be a perfectly fine thing to say, if we lived in a normal world. But we don't live in a normal world anymore. We live in Clown World. Believe me, I want nothing more than for you to be right, but as the old saying goes: "never underestimate Clown World".

It would still create a precedent they don't want because if something goes wrong they would be hoisted by their own petard.
Plus this admins' legitimacy its already too low to pull a double-standard this big, it would destroy its image abroad and nobody would trust any promises from a democrat government again, no here or in other countries.

Anyone who's stupid enough to believe the constant disinformation about how Pmurt is gonna stage a coup any second now.
So yeah, he still has about half the Democrats' voters.

How would this be any different than the millions of other times that the Dems had been hoisted by their own petard? There's a reason that "the consequences of the Dems' own actions" is a meme around these parts.
"Vote blue, no matter who" is also a meme for a reason. I get not being a doomer, but at the same time, you have to at least consider all possibilities here. I'm not saying they definitively won't pardon Trump, but it is equally retarded to suggest that they definitively WILL. It could go either way, IMO. I'll just leave it at that, and we can agree to disagree.

This would be a massive petard, one thing its bitching about the capitol when they fueled the 2020 riots, another very different one would be sending a former president to jail over shit they've also done. If that happens they are just one bad election away from moving in with Don at fed-club.
Its not, every Bernie voter I know bent the knee and voted for Biden despite the even more obvious steal of the primaries. Same in 2016, the fact its blue voters are far bigger zealots than red voters.

Biden's already spoken on this. He's not pardoning Trump. The administration and elites personally hate Trump too much to ever do that.

Yeah, but in this case, I think @cybertoaster is over thinking this. It would be completely ridiculous for the Left to decide now to prosecute Trump, again, just to pardon him. What's the point?

It's bizarre that after Bernies hack on the blue side, and the NeverTrumpers on the Red side, that people still think the establishment isn't corrupt.

Trump never was part of the ruling class to congresscritters and he never will be. Why do you think they're willing to go full scorched earth on him? In their eyes, if you want power you have to make yourself filthy in the swamp and there is no other way allowed. It doesn't matter what that piece of toilet paper written nearly 250 years ago says, they're the ones that control this country.
He stole from one of theirs and he threatened to cut off their infinite money machines bleeding Americans dry. They'd rather rule over ruin than contribute to utopia.

Democratic dark money groups prepare campaign to support Biden’s Supreme Court nominee
(article)
Demand Justice, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group led by veteran Democratic strategists, has said it is bracing for a possible fight in the Senate over Biden’s pick to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, who aims to retire this summer provided his replacement is confirmed. The group told CNBC it is planning to spend whatever it takes to get the nomination through the Senate.
Building Back Together, a separate nonprofit run by Biden allies, has signaled to donors and those close to the organization that it is likely to raise and spend up to $10 million to back the nominee, according to people familiar with the matter. These people declined to be named in order to speak freely about private planning.
Emails to Building Back Together were not returned before publication. That group has backed and promoted much of Biden’s agenda, including a $10 million ad campaign touting the president’s signed infrastructure bill. Danielle Melfi, the executive director of the group, previously was a Wisconsin state director for Biden’s 2020 campaign for president. Stephanie Cutter and Addisu Demissie, two veteran Biden allies, are listed as advisors of the group.
While Democrats have a slight edge in the Senate, due to Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote, the groups appear not to be taking anything for granted.
The Senate is split 50-50, with centrist Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema being two of the Democratic lawmakers needed to approve key pieces of legislation and judicial nominees. Both lawmakers are expected to vote in favor of Biden’s Supreme Court pick, with the Senate having confirmed at least 40 of the president’s judicial picks.
Sen. Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., another key vote with the party’s narrow majority in the Senate, had a stroke but is expected to be back to work in four to six weeks.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, is among a group of Republican lawmakers who say they want to support Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court. Murkowski said on Sunday that she wants to see a nominee that will get bipartisan support.
Neither Demand Justice or Building Back Together are required by law to publicly disclose their donors. Demand Justice was previously a project of another dark money group, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, before it split off. The Sixteen Thirty Fund raised over $380 million in 2020 and donated over $320 million in grants to various groups that year, according to their most recent 990 tax disclosure form. The fund also does not publicly disclose their donors.
Demand Justice Executive Director Brian Fallon, who worked for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for president, told CNBC that there’s no limit to how much they may end up spending to help push through Biden’s nominee.
“We expect the Senate will act to confirm Biden’s pick quickly but we will do and spend whatever is needed to ensure that ends up being the case. This is a history-making moment to put the first Black woman on the court,” Fallon recently told CNBC.
Biden’s has vowed to choose a Black woman as his nominee to the Supreme Court. Potential nominees include federal Judge J. Michelle Childs, California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger and federal appeals court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. He said he expects to make his pick by the end of this month.
Demand Justice has already held an organizing call with a variety of other outside groups, such as Black Lives Matter Global Network, MoveOn and the Sunrise Movement to discuss tactics that aim to push lawmakers to quickly pass Biden’s nominee. Progressive Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., was also on the strategy call.
Demand Justice has launched a site that encourages and helps people call their senators as a way to pressure them to vote in favor of Biden’s eventual selection.
“Will you call your senators and urge them to act fast to confirm Justice Breyer’s replacement?” the website asks.
