No.

 

"There are no legal obstacles to running for president as a convicted felon or even from behind bars."

 

“There’s nothing barring Trump from running. Even a federal conviction doesn’t prevent that. … Even if he were mentally insane,” Mazo said. “The Supreme Court has said what’s in the Constitution are the only requirements you need to run for federal office.”

Don't present facts to trumpers....it confuses them as they thrive on BS.

You're a leftist, and you like the things Presidents Obama and Biden did and are doing to the country, I don't. 

 

I'm a conservative, and I like the things Trump did and tried to do, you don't. 

 

The treatment of Trump is really no different than that od any other Republican President, the left has just gotten stronger and more unified. The game plan it that ANYONE standing against the Left will be crushed.

 

Republicans were/are asleep at the wheel for the takeover. 

You didn't reply to anything I posted, you just made broad accusations, suggest some kind of conspiracy by the left and labeled me a leftist. 

 

I think most people would consider me a centrist, but someone from the extreme loony wing of the Trump party would call me and almost anyone else a leftist.

Some here may be leftists; some may be conservatives.

 

In the matter in the NY District court, I am a former New Yorker who lived in mid-town Manhattan in the 1970's when Donald Trump from Queens became "The Don".

 

As an indication as to how some New Yorkers currently feel about the ex-President, I will just post this:

 

According to a 2016 USA Today analysis, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in 3,500 legal cases in U.S. federal and state courts during the previous three decades ...

From the Wikipedia link above:

 

Trump has, however, been involved in far more litigation than fellow real-estate magnates; the USA Today analysis in 2016 found that Trump had been involved in more legal disputes than Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., Donald Bren, Stephen M. Ross, Sam Zell, and Larry Silverstein combined.

So you are basically admitting that it's all about identity politics to you because as a conservative, you should be focused on for example, the economy. 

Trump inherited a thriving economy thanks to Obama who in turn inherited probably the worst fiscal crisis since the Great Depression, He however managed to steady the ship and towards the end of his stewardship, saw the US return to some sense of former economic glory. And what did Trump do with this? He immediately slashed taxes for himself and his mates and added almost $7.8 trillion to the national debt.

By any crucial metric like GDP, job creation, business investment and avoiding recessions, Democrats in the White House do much better than Republicans (just one fact should tell you this; 9 of the last 10 recessions have been under Republicans). I quote directly from Forbes magazine - 'It is simply a fact that since World War II, Democratic presidents have seen 24.4 million more jobs created on their watch—an average of 78.6% more jobs created per year of Democratic administrations—than have Republican presidents. Ditto real GDP growth, 44% higher under Democratic presidents. On the flip side, unemployment has been 18% higher under GOP presidents.'   https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2016/11/07/trump-is-right-about-one-thing-the-economy-does-better-under-the-democrats/?sh=21f31f5b6786

 

So now we have ascertained that the economy is better under the Democrats, what exactly is it that prevents you from voting Democrat?
