Breaking News from Maine:
Presidential hopeful banned from running in election
Oh, no, wait, sorry, my mistake - that's Russia. In Maine, presidential hopeful Donald J Trump has also been banned from running in the election, but that's no reason to confuse a great "constitutional republic" such as the former Soviet Union with the United States. For one thing, both countries are rife with "Sudden Adult Death Syndrome", but in America its first symptom is not, as in Russia, that you find yourself accidentally falling out of an upper-floor window.
Still, would you really be surprised to see it come to that?
Trump Plunges from Mezzanine-Level Bathroom Window at Mar-a-Lago
He carelessly slipped on a classified document an FBI agent had accidentally dropped during the last raid.
We should note the differences between the Colorado and the Maine rulings. In the Centennial State, the decision was made by four judges doing (please, no tittering) "impartial justice". In the Pine Tree State, the decision was made by a (do try to keep a straight face) "constitutional officer" - the Secretary of State. That's to say, although she's a Democrat working in a Democrat Administration, under the "constitution" (look, knock it off with all the giggling) she has one foot in the executive branch and the other in the judicial branch. So yes, it may look like it's the ruling party directly banning the opposition leader ...but relax, that's just a coincidence, as any constitutional scholar can tell you.
Be that as it may, the key difference is that in 2016 and 2020 the GOP candidate failed to win Colorado, so it's all a bit hypothetical, leading some of America's "conservative" commentators to suggest that Trump might decide "for strategic reasons that he doesn't want to challenge the ruling".
