    They should be allowed to choose the candidate but the state shouldn’t be forced to put him there. He’s disqualified. It should be equivalent to the party dropping out of the race if they pick him…

      That’s exactly what should happen.

      You want to nominate a dog to run for president? You want to nominate a fictional character to run for president? You want to nominate a dead person to run for president?

      Go ahead.

      The state is not obligated to put that nominee on the ballot because that nominee is 100% ineligible to hold the office of president.

        Although thinking about it, it WOULD be hilarious if he was on the ballot while being absolutely for-sure barred from office. At least unless he somehow won, then the evil Republicans would whip up the moronic conservatives and we’d have ourselves an actual civil war…
