The fact that Donald Trump as a convicted felon was elected is actually not unique to the Republican Party in this election cycle. There have been other felons who have been found criminally responsible for serious crimes, people who have pled guilty. who have been elected in other states as well for example in monroe county a commissioner who was elected there pled guilty to serious felony drug charges in indiana a republican who won a county seat has pled guilty to sexually assaulting his own daughter a guy by the name of john jessup And in Missouri, they are introducing a law, the Republicans are, it's called the Trump Law, to allow felons to run for office in the state of Missouri.
