BS answer.

That's not what I'm hearing being whispered. I would not be too sure.

You do know that someone can decide to run against him? Or the party can chose to have another candidate and they may if he's in too deep with the Russian investigation. But if another republican simply decided they wanted to unseat him they could put their hat in the ring.
Normally that wouldn't likely be an issue. No one in the incumbents party would decide to just run against the sitting president but with trump...

Buchanan/Bush '92

All it would take is one. If this bill passes and Trump wants to run in California.

a reply to: Xtrozero

That lets the IRS see his taxes. Not us. We want to see them. And eventually we will I'm betting.

Besides he's going to be so tangled up in the Russia probe no one but his base will vote for him anyway. Lol

What authorities can ask for your tax returns?

a reply to: Phage

From reading their election laws it appears a person has to qualify for the primary ballot and win in order to appear on the general ballot.

California election Laws

a reply to: Sillyolme

Anyone with subpoena power.
DOJ.
FBI I suppose.

a reply to: TinfoilTP

Well what about all those republican governors then?

a reply to: MotherMayEye

2.) Trump can just give the California SoS some fraudulent tax returns

That's right up his alley isn't it? Just lie. Why not. Integrity and honesty be damned right?

That is a link to the requirements for primary elections. Do you have one for generals?

Can you demonstrate that this law would apply to the general election when it says that applies to the primary?

a reply to: PlasticWizard

No.

Yes - their primaries roll into the general. If you dont qualify to appear on the primary ballot, you wont win the primary and by extension wont show on the general election ballot. The person who won the primary will.

Oh I get it....
This is about those three million more votes that went to Hillary isn't it? You believe that three million illegal votes were cast.

That wouldn't make much sense if they don't win their party's nomination, would it?

Only if they are nominated at the party's national convention will they be on the general election ballot. They can also run as a qualified independent, or as a write-in.

The candidate nominated at the national convention will be on the ballot. It matters not if they are on the ballot in the California primary. If the party nominates them, they will be on the ballot.

There are three basic methods by which an individual may become a candidate for president of the United States.

An individual can seek the nomination of a political party. Presidential nominees are selected by delegates at national nominating conventions. Individual states conduct caucuses or primary elections to determine which delegates will be sent to the national convention.[1]

An individual can run as an independent. Independent presidential candidates typically must petition in each state in order to have their names printed on the general election ballot.[1]

An individual can run as a write-in candidate.[1]

The state web site says. You need a state issued ID card. If you apply by mail you need to show it when you go to vote.
To get a license or ID you need to prove you're legal. You need to prove who you are.

People aren't just coming in over the border to vote in our elections.
It's just another trumpism. Another thing people laugh at him about. How stupid he is to even think it.

This particular post went to the political makeup of the state. It''s relevant because tin foil guy said California was all liberal dems. Obviously that's not true and that is what was being discussed in that post.

a reply to: Vector99

But not the requirement to actually be on a state ballot. That is decided by the state's.
