    Wait so the republiQans wouls stoop to just keeping him off the ballot for a procedural, effectively meaningless reason?

    Wow who knew they would so easily swing the vote their way when the slightest opportunity would present itself. Certainly not the DNC. Still.

      The repubs did warn after the whole 14th sec3 attempt that they would do something like this. Although the law(rule?) was written in 2010, only in '16 did both parties have their primary before the 90 days(I may be slightly off as I just saw this last night and only once), and if it was the repubs that were after and the dems were already done we all know there would be an exemption no problem. The problem here is with the Dems, they forget that MAGA is not the same as the old repubs, there is no honour or gentlemen’s agreements anymore. The wheels have come off, there is no precedence they won’t flout. The dems should have forsee… oh, right
