The thing is, I don't mind the idea that anyone, even felons, can try and run for President. Not all felons are made equal and we know many civil rights leaders and political activists have been to prison across the world.
If the US was even close to what it professes to be, this guy would have been to jail for fraud 10 times over before the idea of president was even a thought. THAT'S where the failure is. And then, yes, for some reason being afraid to prosecute someone for real crimes because why? They control a mob? All the more reason. This is a country that dealt with LA riots, self-bombing Philadelphia, all sorts off awful crowd suppression of people fighting for REAL injustice, now all of a sudden all that power is afraid? Pathetic.
