...Trump has now been sentenced to no jail, no probation, no punishment. The pin has finally deflated a case that has been sustained for years on a mix of hot rage and rhetoric. The ultimate verdict concerns the New York legal system itself in allowing this sentencing to occur.

In a paraphrasing of Ockhams razor:
A felony conviction of non-outcomes, is a conviction of non-outcomes. Therefore how could such a status be a Constitutional disqualifier for any office of trust or profit? The whole point of the disqualification is to avoid persons who rate some sort of punishment. How can a placeholder conviction have any such use. It is a null-indicator!
Or could it be the Progressive Socialists are banking hope on a mid-term election cycle, that typically results in the incumbant President losing Congressional seats (that could make impeachment more possible?).
For his own safeties sake, Trump better scour that swamp clean like his life depends on it. It might....
We still got him elected!!!!!
Judge Merchan pulled a dirty trick! He announced Trump sentence (which no Judge ever does) so the SCOTUS will not intervene and let it play out. Had Judge Merchan not announced Trump’s sentence then all of the trial could have become under the control of the Federal Court, if so, then when Trump would be sworn in he could have pardoned himself without ever being sentenced! Thereby Trump would not have been branded as a felon!
But for whatever purpose, Merchan, like any viper, strikes while the opportunity is viable.
No sentence would apply after inaugeration, and after four years, who would care?
BUT, still managed to destroy our judicial system as we know it.
This trial is just as valid as the two impeachments... MEANINGLESS!
No nothing......basically the judge agrees there was no case or how could he as a judge just let him get away with it.....if he actually committed a crime?
BUT HE IS A CONVICTED FELLON! It is disgusting! This judge needs to answer for this scharade.......it had no basis!
Revenge is due.
