MODERATORS
That will likely come down to a decision by our supreme Court, who haven't been known for making very reasonable (or ethical, or logically consistent) decisions as of late.
My personal hunch is he'll be allowed to run. Happy to be surprised, though.
He will still lose when he is allowed to run. Because if he is allowed to run EVERYONE will show up to vote him out. Because he's got way more people that hate him than love him. He lost by a lot last time. And it's even worse now that we have had to hear about him non stop since he has been in the spotlight.
I suuuuuure hope so
That sounds a lot like how I thought in 2016. I hope you're right, but my faith in my fellow citizens hasn't been restored yet.
It's tired and worn out, but my faith is so low that I look both ways at a roundabout.
He'll only lose if everyone who comes out votes for the same guy. If people protest vote for a third party, Trump will win.
He isn't polling very well against Trump... I have my doubts
Polls are only for boring people with nothing else to do but bicker. There are plenty of people that vote that don't bother with all the grandstanding before the actual elections.
The Supreme Court with a majority of Republican originalists would bend over backwards to let Trump run for presidency
