Election 2024 Foreplay

In the context of the election, how republicans are dealing with Trump’s indictment:

1. Biden is corrupt
2. If you prosecute Trump the world will burn down
3. Damn, these allegations are serious and his GOP opponents have a lot of ammo now showing that Trump lacks self control and has poor judgment
4. Trump should just drop out.

The GOP is going through all of the stages of battered women’s syndrome in real time.

May not have to wait for him to drop out. If convicted he will be disqualified from ever running for public office again.

Well that is a possibility but without congressional action there is technically no laws prohibiting anyone, including Trump, from running for and being elected president from a jail cell.
 
I would need to confirm but I heard otherwise there are laws in place that prevent a convicted felon from running for public office of the US presidency. Is that not so?

Good thing you figured that out, because top lawyers haven't. As it stands he can still run.
 
NPR:

If Trump is convicted and faces any jail time, he could still run for president and appear on the ballot — even though if he's convicted of a felony, he wouldn't be able to vote in Florida. (He can thank DeSantis for his hard-line stance on convicted felons and voting.)

Trump Names Hunter Biden As His Running Mate So DOJ Will Stop Investigating Him

PALM BEACH, FL — Former President Donald Trump seemed to have outsmarted federal prosecutors once again, as reports out of Mar-A-Lago indicated the 45th President and current 2024 candidate had chosen Joe Biden's son, Hunter, as his running mate, leading the Department of Justice to halt all investigations against Trump.

"It really is a brilliant, ‘4D chess' type of move," said disheveled political analyst Steve Bannon after Trump made his announcement. "There's no way the DOJ or the FBI will do any investigating when Hunter Biden is attached to the campaign. Checkmate, losers!"

Within minutes of naming Biden his new running mate, Trump was notified by the government that the indictments against him were being thrown out, leading Trump to make a celebratory post on his Truth Social account. "TRUMP WINS ONCE AGAIN," he said. "I REMAIN UNDEFEATED AGAINST THE CORRUPT DEEP STATE'S EFFORTS TO TAKE ME OUT. HUNTER BIDEN IS MY NEW RUNNING MATE, MAKING ME INVINCIBLE TO ANY INVESTIGATION. HE'S EVEN MORE TRUSTWORTHY THAN MY PREVIOUS RUNNING MATE. SO MUCH WINNING!"

Unable to continue their quest against Trump, DOJ officials admitted defeat. "It's over," said a source within the department. "We're not allowed to go anywhere near Hunter Biden, so Trump and his campaign can now run roughshod. Much like the women Hunter hires at night, our hands are tied."

At publishing time, new vice presidential candidate Hunter Biden, who had last been seen passed out in an alley after a 3-day crack cocaine bender, was unavailable for comment.

You did not read carefully. So far he has only been indicted not convicted. I said if convicted. The law is clear on that.
