I think your 2nd paragraph there has merit but I had already downvoted you for your first. Once he has a conviction, the GOP will immediately dump him. Conservative news will be all about whichever other contenders will be in the top spot.

Good question. I’m not sure. The current talking point is that he’s fine because there’s no conviction. I suppose they could move the goal posts, but hopefully enough of them respect the law enough to not cause trouble.
He’s not barred until someone declares him barred. Who’s to say that the GOP state leadership won’t let him on the ballot anyway because fuck you that’s why?
Yes, but who is tasked with enforcing those rules? Who, specifically, makes the call saying Trump can or cannot be on a ballot? In red states, the answer to those questions is “The Republican Party.”

You’re gonna be disappointed.
with convictions.hes barred from running in several states, so it’s just a non starter.

GOP isn’t a lawmaking body. There are rules in various states about who can be on a ballot.

I don’t know that the GOP would dump him. I think they’ll do whatever their base does and if that means doubling down on a convict then there we go…
