    I think your 2nd paragraph there has merit but I had already downvoted you for your first. Once he has a conviction, the GOP will immediately dump him. Conservative news will be all about whichever other contenders will be in the top spot.

      To paraphrase Stephen Miller, the democrats just don’t get it. This is no longer about law, but about power.

      They’re about to grab the brass ring and so few people understand.

      Once he has a conviction, the GOP will immediately dump him. How can you be sure? Trump did lots of things that would normally by disqualifying but somehow the GOP still supports him.

        Add a double line break to separate your thoughts from the quote.

        Good question. I’m not sure. The current talking point is that he’s fine because there’s no conviction. I suppose they could move the goal posts, but hopefully enough of them respect the law enough to not cause trouble.

          You’re gonna be disappointed.

            He’s not barred until someone declares him barred. Who’s to say that the GOP state leadership won’t let him on the ballot anyway because fuck you that’s why?
