Contributing sentiments towards policy:

38% : Trump, who was awarded four years of the presidency by one of the U.S. Constitution's most undemocratic features, has no right to complain when another part of that Constitution threatens his candidacy.
28% : To the editor: David Lauter's balanced analysis of the 14th Amendment issue makes it very clear that the U.S. Supreme Court will never allow Trump to be taken off any state ballot.
28% : It should never be forgotten that the Senate could have put this issue to rest if its Republican members were courageous enough to convict Trump at his second impeachment trial in 2021.
27% : People who warn that using the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment to kick Trump off the ballot would harm democracy in "our" presidential election forget that there is no such thing.
26% : Recall that in 2016, American voters handily "defeated" Trump at the polls by nearly 3 million votes.
