Upon further review, I've been thinking of Yeats's words about the best lacking all conviction. And it's convinced me some judge or election official should act to bar Trump from running based on the amendment. It's clear that he attempted insurrection and we need to press the case. Ideally it would happen soon and quickly be taken up by the Supreme Court. Let's see, at least, whether this Court believes in the Constitution.

I don't have a lot of hope it will succeed but it will be a real godsend if it does.

Since we likely can't count on the RNC enforcing anything, we'll probably have to wait until he gets the nomination and therefore would have to be blocked from the ballot. I too have grown skeptical that I can expect reasonable things to happen regarding Trump, but their article makes a very compelling case.
