So if you are convicted of a felony you can no longer vote, but you can run for president??? Pathetic!!!

[jorino]

He's the first to be convicted but not the only to commit felonies.

[MrGgmann]

So you can be convicted of 33 Felonies and still be president…smh.. god bless America

This is going to be a hell of a presidential election season. The man can still run for office from jail.

[teamofone]

Any normal man found guilty with 34 felony charges would be sentenced to jail immediately.
