    What if Trump is actually jailed and/or barred from running? Wouldn’t that make DeSatan the next best candidate? Even if just one state bars Trump from running, that should be enough to end his campaign and hand the nomination to DeSanctimonious. He’ll still lose the general election to Biden, but still.

      It might, but luckily DeSantis is so unlikeable and has zero charisma, that the republicans would never win a presidential election with him as the candidate.

      If Trump is jailed, he wins the election. You can run for office from jail. If anything, it will improve his image among people likely to vote for him.

      If a Blue State bars Trump from running, that doesn’t matter, because he wasn’t going to win that state anyways.

      A Red State would never bar Trump from running, because it would be political suicide for any Republican to stand against Trump in such a way.
