    Actually? He served in the military (US navy,) and took an oath to defend and uphold the constitution,

    The 14th absolutely applies, and he is ineligible to hold any public office - including city-level positions.

      Of course, we want him to be ineligible. Yet, there’s zero legal authority that has ruled him ineligible.

      Keep dreaming that it’ll happen. We’re truly in the “Twilight Zone” of retardedville.

        Don’t worry about it too much. All a libertarian ballot is going to do is take votes away from the Republican candidate.

      Bingo, the tea party basically created the “do you uphold your oath” shit to cops, they should probably know better.
