Can I ask a stupid question? How is he running? I thought he was impeached, and I thought that meant he couldn't run again?
While you are a sitting president, you cannot stand trial until the process of impeachment is complete. Impeachment just means the house of representatives thinks there's enough evidence to have a full hearing in the Senate. Impeachment is not a trial and thus no official verdict can be made, only the Senate can do that.
There have been a few lawsuits citing that engaging in insurrection means he can't be put on the ballot but so far all the courts have said that secretaries of state have to put him on the ballot if he wins the primary.
Jesus, Joe, why say that? You’ll lose a lot of people who are on the fence by admitting your heart’s not really in it.
He may be the best we’ve got, and I’m still voting for him for the same reason he’s running, but Biden has been such a terrible disappointment. He’s wasted the time he’s had.
My concern is... what if Trump runs again when he's 81? What if he wins? What if an 81 year old Trump is literally running the country?
