Maine barred Donald Trump from the primary ballot Thursday, making it the second state in the country to block the former president from running again under a part of the Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office.

The decision by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) is sure to be appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court last week found Trump could not appear on the ballot in that state, and the Colorado Republican Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. The nation’s high court could resolve for all states whether Trump can run again.

    I wouldn’t vote for that rat. People don’t know how to vote straight, Goofy is the clear best option.

      Goofy is a terrible choice. He has voiced no concern of the safety of others and has been quoted of saying, “and I’ll fuckin do it again.”

      Despite his terrible choices and lack of surroundings both physical and political, he has also said, “Now, how come you always think I’m gonna lead you into some sort of calamity?”

      His complete disregard for the safety of others is another red flag and I, for one, will not vote for that goof.

        He’s at least a good dad.

        Maybe the rich duck then. He doesn’t seem like dishonest even though he’s rich, which means he’s bad.
