Should Obama run for president? Or W?

 Should Barack Obama run for president as a Democrat?  Or W as a Republican? The Constitution says they can’t run for president because they already served two terms. Right? 22nd Amendment.

So what?  

The Constitution also says Trump can’t run for president because he led a conspiracy to overthrow the government.  14th Amendment. 

So, if Trump can do it, why not Obama? Or W?

What the hell?  

Just a thought. 

Ridiculous, of course, but no more so than letting one who violated the 14th Amendment run for president.  

But, by running for president, and by supporting his run for president, Trump and the Republican Party demonstrate that they totally disregard the Constitution and the Rule of Law, believing instead in the rule of threat, the rule of force, the rule of violence.  

Like ten year old bullies on the schoolyard their operating principle is “Oh yea? Who’s gonna stop me?”

Uh, the Rule of Law….is going to stop him.  

Trump should be, and I believe will be, barred from the presidential ballot on a number of states, including “toss up” states and even some “red” states. 

He disqualified himself.  Pathetic little person.
