Donald J. Trump is ineligible to be President of the United States. I say that as a Republican voter for 30 years who served in the military under Reagan.

How he is ineligible depends on your point of view. If you are a Liberal, he’s ineligible under the 14th Amendment for leading an insurrection against the country, as he is charged with in multiple courts. If you are a Republican, then he is ineligible under the 22nd Amendment since a person can only be elected president twice and, by his own accounts, Trump won in 2016 and 2020.

Unless we really want another Biden term, the Republicans need to move on from Trump, as a vote for Trump in the primaries is a vote for Biden in the General Election next year. With all his legal issues, he cannot get enough Independents to vote for him to win. Just look at the past few elections as proof.

As Republicans, we need to go back to being the party of Reagan and move on from Trump. None of the current candidates even come close to that, as they try to out-“Trump” each other.
