If Trump is jailed, it will be a travesty, one of the biggest travesties in the history of this country.

But Trump can still run for president while jailed. The Constitution lists the requirements for the presidency. Jail or felony status is not among them.

Back in 1920 socialist Eugene Debs ran for president while in jail. He got over 900,000 votes.

But here’s the thing. A jailed candidate is obviously severely limited in how he can campaign for office. That just might be the goal of the Democrats.

If that does not strike the beginning of an "uncivil" uprising, then nothing will.
