Trump saying there’s no need for debates and he should just be made nominee.

I think his game is he wants to be made nominee asap so when those damning indictments come in the next month that he thinks it’ll make it easier in challenging them and making it look like it’s politically motivated.

It’s also why he’s trying to force DeSantis out of the race, and another reason why DeSantis is waiting till the end of May to announce as Jack Smith should’ve had indicted Trump by then

If Trump is indicted does that mean he cant run?

He can still run, I think the only restrictions to bring President are to be over 35 and be a born citizen. But the Jack Smith indictment covers J6, documents, wire fraud from donations so and the trial is likely to start before the end of the year.

Trump will be spending all his resources on that not into actual campaigning, and I can’t imagine being accused of treason will help him as much as the hush money case did

He's right. There's no need for debates but DeSantis should be made nominee. :)

Jack Smith now after Ted Cruz after hearing tape of his plot to overturn 2020 election, he’s up for re-election for senate next year too.

I doubt any of these cases will get to trial before the election. Cases can take ages to get to trial in the US especially if they're complex and the lawyers want to delay.

Biden back out to 1.25 for nominee, I think there's also a hint of people thinking he's still not really going to run as his approval is in the gutter.

DeSantis at almost 4/1 for GOP nominee, that's a crazily good price.

He was supporting Trump a few weeks ago, and argued that alleged financial irregularities are no reason to indict a man that gathered a mob to hang him and actually prepared the noose, before attempting to overthrow the government, killing a few police officers in the process. :)

He supports him in public like a lot of Republicans, but behind closed doors they all can't wait to see the back of him.

Four proud wankers have been convicted for their part in the Capitol Hill riots, one of them not even present on the day. Even less chance of Trump getting away with it now. :D

Can't remember what price Biden was the last time I looked but he's come into 2.86 with Trump at 3.35.
