Fifty-eight percent of GOP voters said in the new survey convicted felons should be allowed to become president if they are elected. YouGov noted that just 17 percent of Republicans held that opinion in April.

In February, 34 percent of GOP voters said criminality was among their least desired traits. Now, 19 percent say the same.

Incredible.

I am fine with felons in general being elected, although if their crimes are abusive of their office, campaign finance related. or undermine democracy then they shouldnl not be eligible.

So Snoop Dogg should be able to be elected, but Trump and Rod Blagojevich should not be able to hold office.
