    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.

      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.

          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?
