    The point where he is convicted of treason, insurrection, giving aid to the enemy.

    Can you quote me the line in the 14th Amendment where it says that the candidate must have been convicted?

    He couldn't get on the ballot. In fact, I once saw where he wished the constitution was changed to allow him to be on the ballot.

    So what you're implying is that government can decide who can be on the ballot based on if the candidate is favorable to government. You guys are literally imitating Cuba and other dictatorships.

    Electoral Officials are charged, in this third world country, with ensuring candidates meet required qualifications.

    I asked you a simple question.

    Why are you unable to answer?

    Have you even read the 14th Amendment once?

    I’m accusing Biden of stealing the 2020 election and that’s all it now seems to take to get someone off the ballot. I’m playing by your rules.

    So, the Supreme’s will have to decide … won’t they?

    But! If tRaitor tRump loses in the Supreme Court he’s off the ballot everywhere.

    These are not our rules, but those written in the Constitution.

    Which you don't know.

    To be disqualified, a candidate must have offered comfort to insurrectionists or have participated in an insurrection.

    Can Trump's willingness to offer pardons to MAGA criminals convicted of sedition be considered "offering comfort"?

    LoL

    You're the one who says there must be a conviction.

    I say the opposite.

    Have you read section 3? ..... Tell me where the Constitution talks about conviction.

    If you really want to play this game, then I can argue that Biden gave aid to our enemies by allowing them to sneak across the border. I can agrue that Biden gave aid to China in so many different ways. How far do you want to take this?

    LOL, this is why the GOP loses elections, cause they believe forcing folks such as yourself into believing that is all it takes.

    Ask the Women and youth in our Country, you know......the majority, how they will vote come 2024. I'm sure your polls don't reflect how they intend to vote. LOL

    You can argue.

    That doesn't mean it's true.

    Stop wasting time on this Forum and bring an action against him based on that. See how you go.

    The majority in EVERY poll has Biden losing against EVERY GOP candidate and it gets worse with every poll. I'm sure KJP and CNN can explain how they're wrong. They may even call those people deplorable.

    Yeah, and all the polls had Hillary beating mango in 2016. All the polls had Mango defeating Ole Joe in 2020, all the polls had a red tsunami in 2022.

    How did all of those polls work out at the end again? LOL

    If the Supremes agree with the States, reading rightists posts here will be entertaining as hell. LOL

    But we all know that the Trump wing of the SCOTUS will bend the knee for mango mussolini cause they lack integrity.

    2022 proved this. If the GOPs game plan is to continue restrictions on abortions in the States they run, they will always lose. If the GOPs game plan is to appease angry old boomer, Christians by labeling youth as freaks because of their sexuality, they will continue to lose elections.
