    For starters, the president of the United States once said that a convicted felon winning the election would be a constitutional crisis, and then he proceeded to do that.

      So we’re listening to Trump’s opinions on the constitution now?

      According to BBC:

      The US Constitution sets out relatively few eligibility requirements for presidential candidates: they must be at least 35, be a “natural born” US citizen and have lived in the US for at least 14 years.

      So despite what he thinks on the matter, electing a convicted felon appears to be constitutional.

        He’s also not capable of running if he legitimately believes he’s won two elections already.

          No, what’s wrong with YOU? The felon argument is a shit one. It’s important being a felon doesn’t bar you from running so shit bags like Trump can’t just make all their opposition into felons and pretend it’s legal.

            It’s in the constitution. I suggest you read it sometime. You can’t make shit up like trump and expect to be right.

              No, you should try reading it. There’s literally only one crime that blocks you from running for office and not just being convicted of a felony. I’d rather have it that way.
