Can't run if you're a convicted felon ;) Not that I have faith that the system will work correctly...

'No felony convictions' isn't a constitutional requirement.

Honestly, I’d be surprised if he gets convicted of anything and even more so if he actually goes to jail. I just don’t see it happening tbh
MrSafely
Agree, but I believe everyone that is close to him, including family, may be prosecuted, and if convicted and jailed, I’d be ok with that.

Trump will be free to hold his campaign rallies every single day if he wants to, but rallies cost $$ and I wonder where that will come from.
mutatedspleen
Didn't he just raise like $170m by wringing out his supporters? Something tells me they will happily pay for his bullshit.
AllBent
Well, since he never pays his bills... His rabid supporters maybe?
Yep, and so his rallies need to make money and if they do make money, he'll keep having them.

I read some b.s. about Congress having to accept the electorate and Republicans can reject and then it goes to the House
mithiwithi
Going to the House requires a lack of majority in the Electoral College, but there is not presently any mechanism for that to happen. 1/2
The only mechanism to exclude electors at this point requires the House of Representatives to agree to it. 2/2
Each State gets one vote in the House and Republicans will out number Democrats and Bob is your Uncle 4 more years
I have no idea if this is the way it works or not... oh and somewhere in here the Democrats will take it to SCOTUS who will say no standing
Masonrig
Suffice it to say, that is not correct in the house, only the senate, but the motion would need to pass by a majority in both.

Only in the event there is not a majority winner. Biden is the majority winner.

Can and will and won't matter because a majority of the house would have to vote to throw out the electors votes.
Yep, but we still have to put up with another three weeks of Trump/GOP promising to magically "win" this way. Goal posts keep moving.
I was mildly worried about faithless electors. I'm not as worried about bitching. Let them keep demoralizing themselves so it hurts them
in the Georgia runoffs.

Don't always compare Hitler to Trump, that's not fair to that man. At least Hitler built the Autobahn!

Oh no he definitely was imprisoned but in like a castle.
That's where he wrote his book.

He'd also be nearly 80 by that point...

Not true, Trump just doesent care about anyone else than himself and hates everybody else, it just happens to be racists like him..

Hitler was young. Trump will most likely be gone in the next decade. I don't think he'll survive his prison stint

He won't be arrested
Especially if he's washing Putin's balls in The Kremlin.

For federal crimes. If he doesn't flee NY has him on tax shit. That actually gets rich (or "rich") people.

You forgot their planned attempt to have Congress refuse to certify the electoral vote on Jan 6th, which has no chance.
DrBoatyMcBoatface
Well they certainly fucking tried
Wiznatts
The biggest reason it has no chance is currently it would lead to Acting President Pelosi. If Rs controlled both houses it gets stickier.

I want the Rs to try this, and the Ds to go along with it just to watch the R reaction when they realize they've installed President Pelosi

seriously im sure even reading that sends a pang of fear and revolution down their spines

Oh my God we would see mass suicides in the GOP. They could never live with themselves.
For an example of Congress actually exercising their ultimate control over who becomes president, see Hayes-Tilden 1876.
PutItInNeutral
Yeah, but the Republicans like to 'fuck around and find out'.
More like "fuck around and nothing happens"
Technically that's what they were hoping for, because each state only gets 1 elector in that case, and reps control more states.
delecti
Isn't that only if there's not an electoral college majority? We're past that point now.
The goal is that they challenge and invalidate enough votes to bring Biden under 270. It's stupid, but it's technically possible by law.
Rayfasa
What happens if they don’t. Like if the GOP doesn’t?
tarnok
Pelosi would sooner jump on a gorillas dick than not pass the vote in the house.
backoffman
You know Democrats have a majority in the House, right?
Yes, but doesn’t it go thru the senate too? Or no? Asking for a friend...... who took poli sci 40 years ago
JustChargeYourDamnPhone
Worse case scenario nothing happens Pelosi takes over which nobody wants. If no certify House picks pres, senate picks VP. Still no Trump.
glamdring1
Both house and senate would have to vote to throw out a states votes for anything to happen.
AstroExplained
The way it basically works, from what I recall, is a states votes are counted unless a challenge is made, by 1 member of both chambers. Then
Each chamber has to go to debate. The challenge is only held and votes cast out if BOTH chambers vote by majority to do so. Since the

If they don't, then Nancy Pelosi becomes acting president until things are resolved. If the GOP wants to make THAT happen, I say let them.

Do you think he could write something like that? At his age? He is just throwing a temper tantrum before Ivanka drags him out in a few weeks
No but he can rally people behind him and have someone write something.

I seriously doubt it, not for federal crimes, it a a bad look for a former president. But we need it. NY might just lock his ass up though

They will absolutely follow him to Russia. They will NOT be bound to follow his orders if the sitting president orders him brought in.
