Trump being the republican candidate is a Constitutional Crisis. The 14th, section 3 CLEARLY states
#Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
So unless trump can get 2/3rds vote in both houses to re-qualify him, he is ineligible to hold any sworn office in the United States Of America.
The Constitution is not the bible. The right wing does not get to simply ignore the parts it dosen’t like.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Due process would require being convicted in some form of trial- either an impeachment trial or criminal trial before the disqualification comes into play.
As much as i dislike trump, as much as I feel he’s entirely the wrong person for the job- and indeed is a traitor- due process is important here and he really needs to be convicted first.
I just had a conversation with my dad about all this.
Trump incited an insurrection on jan6 because he lost an election. He’s really not going to not run as 3rd party if he looses.
Which … would be an absolutely beautiful dumpster fire to see.

Go back and read the first section to the 14th.
Due process would require being convicted in some form of trial- either an impeachment trial or criminal trial before the disqualification comes into play.

Until that happens, it’s wishful thinking.
He totally would. The republican party losing without him is what he wants. He needs people to know that without him they’re going to fail
Show, they failed constantly with him, but we’re not dealing with someone who likes the truth
