    He’s a twice impeached convicted rapist. What more do you need to keep him off the ballot?

      For that to disbar from the office.

      Fortunately, leading an insurrection does, and the post Civil War case law is very clear it doesn’t need a criminal conviction.

      This, btw, is common knowledge at this point, so if you see some idiot screeching about the “rule of law” just tell them this is the law.

        Sure, but we’re talking about a job application… I don’t think the difference matters there.

        He is a rapist. It would not matter to the GOP if he had been criminally convicted so your point is pretty moot.
