      I mean, you don't want a Trump getting in office and then stopping someone from running for president with a bunch of bogus charges. That's why there aren't that many ways to completely disqualify someone. It's a concept that's proven to be timely as it's part of how Putin stays in power.

      … the presumption is that we should all be smart enough to realize the charges are real and not put the felon in the Whitehouse.

      Because stopping him from running would require a constitutional amendment of some sort, OR he be disqualified under the 14th.
