    If the individual states don’t allow him on their ballot although he hasn’t been found guilty by courts or congress how long is it before the pre-election period is just red states eliminating blue nominees?

    This is bad precedent.

      On what grounds would they be removed? They can’t kick somebody off the ballot if it won’t stand up in court.

          Thanks. It’s a legit question though. A rogue Secretary of State could try but you know it’ll land in court and the Judiciary will decide based on the merits of the case.

          Personally I support this precedent being set. We should uphold our laws to protect our country. If a Democrat ever lands in a similar situation then this precedent will be good to have had set.

      But then the argument is we shouldn’t follow the law because the GOP might break it

            I told you my reasoning, I clarified it and if you’re looking for an argument about it you’re not getting it from me.

            Have a nice day and thanks for the conversation.

              I just asked a non confrontational question. If you can’t deal with that, that’s your business
