    While Trump is obviously a POS and I’d love for him to be banned from running, not allowing anyone to run for office from prison would set a really dangerous precedent.

      The 14th amendment disqualifies him. Prison is irrelevant, but the constitution is just as irrelevant when it is just selectively ignored for convenience.

      It would be because of prison; it would be because of leading an insurrection. These aren’t even close to the same.
