Will this ruling prevent him in any way from taking public office?
That's $87 000 per day that's not being spent on campaign advertising and RNC activities, so it may be effectively stopping him get elected in a sense.
It would be worth more than that to people who want to get him elected, and he probably has friends in russia who are willing to spend much more than that on campaign advertising on his behalf.
Nah, it's another one of those "there's no laws about this because we assumed no one would elect an overtly corrupt grifter" type situations.
Nope.
In a well ordered world it should, but apparently he can even run if he's in prison...
How do you think it plays out if they are successful in their attempts to get trump not to be able to run for election?
Nikki Haley runs instead?
Only big business likes Haley. Do you not think the MAGA people wont get angry and could rightly say the election has been tampered with?
The MAGA people will write in "Trump" no matter what
In many (most/all?) places, you are not allowed to vote for anyone except the people listed on the ballot. Writing in their own choice would be disqualifying their own vote, so I hope millions of them do it.
In some races in some parts of the USA, there is a legal option to write in a candidate's name and have it be counted.
Typically those tend to be fringe candidates, or protest names like Mickey Mouse, but it is permitted.
But then he will still lose, and they will rightly feel that the election was tampered with. Do you think they will just accept that?
What are you talking about. This is a due justice process, with a sentencing. I was just curious if such a sentencing would prevent taking public office.
Its due process in an unjust way. Do you think that all of these cases just happen to pop up when he was running for president? Its using the government to attack a political rival.
No, it's not the one about the 14th amendment. You know this.
Not everyone knows the difference. Or they could be asking if the financial impact could disable him from running.
Fair. I assumed more bad faith than may have actually been present. I've seen so many Trump posts I forgot that some people are living the good life where they aren't seeing multiple lawsuit posts per day...
Also I heard some rumors that a few dozen internet users are from other places than the US and may not have a clue about laws and rules in a foreign country - or may have only heard a few bits and words and are trying to make sense of them.
Other places than the US? Where would they even come from, space? /s
It’s all Ohio.

There are literally dozens of us
That's exactly why I asked.
