RNC Making Backup Plans For Presidential Nomination If Trump Sentenced To Prison

[ZERO] With former President Donald Trump facing the possibility of being sentenced to prison just days before the Republican National Convention, GOP officials are formulating backup plans in case the former president isn’t able to receive the Republican party’s presidential nomination in person.

"We'll be thinking about it, and we’re working on that right now," RNC Chair Michael Whatley told Newsmax in an interview on June 4, when asked whether the Republican Party is preparing for the possibility that the former president can’t attend the convention because he’s behind bars.

The convention, which will take place in Milwaukee on July 15-18, is expected to draw thousands, but President Trump might not be one of them, given his recent felony conviction and the possibility that, on July 11, Justice Juan Merchan could sentence him to prison.

President Trump was recently found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide non-disclosure payments, supposedly to prevent bad press and sway the 2016 election in his favor. He maintains his innocence and says he’s the victim of a vindictive political prosecution meant to derail his 2024 comeback bid.

Justice Merchan could sentence President Trump for up to four years on each business records falsification count, with a maximum of 20 years.

The former president said in a June 2 interview on Fox News that he could handle being jailed or imprisoned while calling the people involved in his conviction as "sick" and "evil."

Trump Nominee No Matter What
The former president and his attorneys have vowed to appeal the conviction, with President Trump even calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to step in before the sentencing date and overturn the guilty verdict.

While a former Manhattan district attorney predicted that President Trump would receive no prison time regardless of any appeals process, GOP officials say they'll be ready to handle whatever scenario presents itself at the convention.

#1 Wrap it up folks, your convicted felon will never be president again!
Nominate someone sane.
Not all Trump supporters are far right antisemites, but if you're a far right antisemite, you vote Trump.

#2 *shrug* And if you’re a far left Jew-hater, you vote for Joe Biden.

The rest of us make our choices for other reasons.

#4 The deep state back office plan is probably a Dem and Rino GOP agreement to get both Biden and Trump off the November Ballot. Unfortunately for America that means trading the best President in the last 40 years to be jailed with the worst President in the history of America to be retired.

#8 Weren't the Founders all Felons?
Didnt they all get sentenced to hang in absentia?
It's not Freedom's first rodeo.
Trump is in good company.

#9 Gosh, I thought it was Biden trying to put the kibosh on Netanyahu's victory in Gaza and appeasing the Mad Mullahs in Iran.
