What the people who now want us to ignore the Fourteenth Amendment are arguing is that certain aspects of the Constitution ought to be nullified merely by their unpopularity—not even necessarily among a majority of voters but among a subset of extra-special voters. This is not a standard applied to any other aspect of the American Constitution in any other circumstance. It is an entirely novel standard invented for the benefit of Donald Trump. In effect, they are arguing for a set of unwritten Trump Rules that would exempt the former president from broadly applicable standards.

    If Trump is DQ’d Biden loses the general. It’s thats simple, and the Democrats know this. Trump needs to win the primary for Biden to be viable at all. Shockingly they learned little from 2016.

      Regardless of your self serving attitude towards the law, just like the Trumpers, you’re just full of it, the whole Republican bench is trash. MAGA wants Trump and no one else.

        How is that self serving? I want him gone, its the elected Democrats who dont. Don’t assume things you didn’t read on my comment. Stop distracting and acknowledg this is a purposeful move by Democrat leadership. They don’t want him DQd and have said so publicly.
