  • trump sitting out of the debate was out of strategic calculation.

    there is, however, a more interesting question RE his eligibility to hold the office again. Governor Hutch referred to this in the debate, a theory being proffered by some libs and never trumpers in the legal academy, and now by partisans more generally, that section 3 of article 14 of the constitution prohibits Trump from being President again, given his arguably treasonous behavior. ("No person shall be [president], who, having previously taken an oath . . . to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.")

    how this could shake out is hard to say, but its notable that the argument is getting mainstream traction, and if trump is found guilty in either of the federal or georgia jan 6 cases ahead of the election, i'd say there's very likely to be significant litigation on the issue.
