    This is going to give a lot of GOP Senators a fig leaf.

    If someone puts a motion in Congress to make it illegal for him to run, a lot of them will vote for it.

      bad law. I’d much rather a law where the candidate has to describe the nature of their past convictions in a written statement submitted with their filing paperwork to run and explain why each one doesn’t affect their ability to run the country.

      Aka reflecting on one’s crimes.

        Except assholes like trump see themselves as victims of a witch-hunt and he would write that out , sorry: he will have a lawyer write that out for every one of them. I doubt he has the attention span for it.
