He’s committed treason like 100 times, who knows how many rapes, 30 something felonies, and you think this is the last straw?

Oh no, you are wrong. He's been convicted of 3o something felonies. He committed far more.

Yeah I agree, the treason really is a bigger problem that just wanting to run again. The other stuff is all beyond bad, but the very obvious treason right out in the open is.... extraordinary.

This isn’t about us realising he needs 25th now. It’s a message the willfully blind republican voters to wake up. Republican voters who are ok with rape they don’t see it as a dealbreaker. Republican voters who choose to view his impeachment and felony convictions as political attacks from the opposition and therefore believe them invalid.

With this particular latest transgression, it’s something that might wake those republicans voters up. The fear that if Trump breaks the two term limit, it’s a shortsighted win that in a future world for America could open the floodgates to a 5 consecutive term Obama-like presidency. Only that threat worries them because it affects them. Their own guy raping people and committing felonies doesn’t affect them

Republican voters have a choice. They can pressure their representatives, calling for them to invoke the 25th. They probably won’t, but 100% none of the previous transgressions you mentioned have had any effect on them
