QUESTION: Could Red Don run for office after he's convicted in federal court incitement ? tia

Sounds like MAGA Media's go to reasoning for not going through the impeachment trial is Trump should go through regular courts if he committed a crime as if crime is the only justification for an impeachment trial.

1. Absolutely.

He can run even if he’s in prison at the time.

2. thx, so instead of some talking heads getting ahead of this stupid reasoning they're left ethered

... at fast talking MAGA Minions.

That gets on my nerves the most, they should just lurk free republic or any mix aisle forum and get ahead of maga stupid talking points

3. Depends on the crime for which he's convicted...

... and the office he wants to run for.

4. If convicted of insurrection, the 14th Amendment will bar him from Federal office.

Anything else, no problem, other than the obvious logistical difficulty of running a campaign from a jail cell.

5. But there are lots of other offices out there

Many states bar convicted felons from running

[lagomorph777]

6. I'm glad many states would bar him, and also - would he run for school board?

Seems kind of pointless for a Narcissist to do that.

8. He might run for Governor somewhere

Can’t see his ego wanting to take any sort of demotion... but there are states where he could win easily

[Celerity]

7. Yes. He can run even if he is convicted and removed by the Senate, IF they fail to do the 2nd

vote to ban him for life. Alcee Hastings is an example of that. As a Federal Judge he was impeached, convicted, removed, but not banned (October 20, 1989). Now he has been the Dem US House member from FL-23 and FL-20 for almost 30 years.
