Yes or no? Should a convicted felon be allowed to be elected the President of a nation? Look at the images before spouting off.

Yes, the Democrats did everything possible to stop Trump from winning and it totally failed

@nedkelly what's ironic is if they had left everything alone they would have most likely won

@Gibbon don’t have to. You do it to yourself.
Let’s re-try these cases in a non far left extremist city with woke judge and see if they pass the sniff test 😏
@RoguishEyes yup..
Just the convicted felon talking point they have on replete makes my eye twitch..
Hasnt been sentenced yet..
Potential convicted felon perhaps 😎

If you look back to US history, many of our hero's during the Revolutionary War, (George Washington, Nathan Hale, Paul Revere, etc.) that revolted against England, would have been executed for treason had they been caught.
Had they been caught and tried, they would have been convicted felons and executed, but they weren't caught and instead became hero's. By English standard definition, they were all treasonous traitors, but yet they became the driving forces and creators of what became today's US gov't.
So, to answer your question, it all depends on which side of the fence you're on but YES, a convicted felon should be allowed to run and be elected depending on the severity of the crime they are accused of committing.
Not convicted until he is sentenced.
@RoguishEyes trollin trollin trollin 😉 lol
@Sojournersoul Mandela WAS sentenced.
@RoguishEyes I know he was.

When it is purely a political witch Hunt conviction then yes or do we need to tear down that nation and rebuild a new one
@dale74 Just like Nelson Mandela.

i was just in South Africa btw...gave me new respect for Mandela and what he went through. the sad thing is that Apartheid is still going on there except the colored and not the blacks. Trump wasn't convicted btw although they sure tried
@akindheart The point of this post is that if liberal icon Nelson Mandela can be elected president of a nation, then so can Donald Trump and the Democrats need to shut their faces. 😉

@RoguishEyes i know i didn't answer the question. i guess the post hit me in the emotional plexus...forgive me.
@akindheart American Democrats are whining "convicted felon", "convicted felon", "convicted felon", and at the same time worshiping Nelson Mandela. lol Typical.

Why not, they let a CIA murder/hitman become president

Bush Sr.

Trump is not a felon until he’s sentenced. You must be part of the losing side

Yes of course. Any state can make any innocent individual a convict and thus keep said innocent individual from running for office. Banning convicts is one sure way to increase political malpractice.

Isn't it funny how every single one was a political prisoner
@Toofargone Political Prisoners tend to be Political Prisoners.
BigImo · 26-30, F
@Toofargone every single one of who?
Maybe if they didn't mean it.. 🙄🤔😂
I see what you did there. 🙂
SW-User
Next you will be comparing him to mother Theresa lol.
@SW-User A corrupt fake religious leader who cozied up to dictators? Yeah, that fits.
I guess it depends on what the crime was, and whether or not he or she got a fair trial.

so happy Israel's greatest defender is back :)
@llswag I’m Israel’s greatest defender on SW! 🙂 Oh YES
They'd never make it or could afford to run.

I immediately thought of trump upon reading the question
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@RoguishEyes that was before I saw the images.
@Moneyonmymind That's why I just asked for a yes or no answer. lol
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@RoguishEyes I’m making you my new enemy 💥🔫
