No, an indictment wouldn’t end Trump’s run for the presidency – he could even campaign or serve from a jail cell https://theconversation.com/no-an-i...ven-campaign-or-serve-from-a-jail-cell-194425 excerpt: So, does an indictment – or even a felony conviction – prevent a presidential candidate from running or serving in office? The short answer is no. Here’s why: The U.S. Constitution specifies in clear language the qualifications required to hold the office of the presidency. In Section 1, Clause 5 of Article II, it states: “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.” These three requirements – natural-born citizenship, age, and residency – are the only specifications set forth in the United States’ founding document. *** Running from behind bars Even in the case of conviction and incarceration, a presidential candidate would not be prevented from continuing their campaign – even if, as a felon, they might not be able to vote for themselves. History is dotted with instances of candidates for federal office running – and even being elected – while in prison. As early as 1798 – some 79 years before the 14th Amendment – House member Matthew Lyon was elected to Congress from a prison cell, where he was serving a sentence for sedition for speaking out against the Federalist Adams administration. Eugene Debs, founder of the Socialist Party of America, ran for president in 1920 while serving a prison sentence for sedition. Although he lost the election, he nevertheless won 913,693 votes. Debs promised to pardon himself if he were elected. And controversial politician and conspiracy theorist Lyndon Larouche also ran for president from a jail cell in 1992. more at the link
Facts aren't something they will ever believe in you could slap them across the face with the fact it still won't register to them.
IIRC dems did that in 2016... And it didn't work out so well. However, it feels like if you were ever gonna do that, now would be the time. Two years is a long time though. Winds could change.
That really is hilarious and probably not all that far from reality. Pretty much everybody tuned him out after 15 minutes of what was a 70 minute speech.
from the Murdock-owned, conservative leaning, NY Post "With just 720 days to go before the next election, a Florida retiree made the surprise announcement that he was running for President…he has stated his qualifications include being a very stable genius. In a move no political pundit saw coming, avid golfer, Donald J. Trump kicked things off at Mar-a-Lago, his resort and classified document library.
