Yup. He's the candidate, sentencing is irrelevant to that.

"If Trump was in jail he couldn't campaign, he couldn't post on social media & he couldn't attend the debates."

Sentence to be enforced immediately? No bail pending appeal?

"If he won he couldn't attend the inauguration & couldn't take meetings or effectively govern for 6 months+"

See above.

"The Republican Party & the US would not only a laughing stock but would in effect be impotent & globally powerless for 6 months+"

The US is already a laughing stock, they have no credibility now.

All good, we'll see what happens sentencing/appeals.

Expand

Trump isn't the candidate until the Republican Convention confirms him, which is a few days after sentencing in July.
The Republican Party could still elect to choose a different candidate.
Bail while waiting an appeal is at the discretion of the judge, not automatic.
