@georgetakei Many people seem to think that being a convicted felon should disqualify you from presidency, and I just wonder how you can't look around and see the risk of such a policy, were it to be created.

It's so obvious that all you would need is a corrupt judge, a corrupt DA, and a random jury in Texas to get a conviction. And if the timing of that is in the summer or the fall of an election year, that changes everything. It's such an easy way for the Republicans to grab power in the future. You know they would try it, and you know they might succeed. Why would you even consider giving them that weapon?
