While Trump is obviously a POS and I'd love for him to be banned from running, not allowing anyone to run for office from prison would set a really dangerous precedent.
The 14th amendment disqualifies him. Prison is irrelevant, but the constitution is just as irrelevant when it is just selectively ignored for convenience.
Its untested and a legal gray area whether or not the 14th forbids running for president.
It would be because of prison; it would be because of leading an insurrection. These aren't even close to the same.
