PhoolishPhilip: My question is, can he still run in the primary if he's under indictment? If so, could he run if convicted?

Yes and yes.

Under the constitution, all natural born citizens who are at least 35 years old and have been a resident of the U.S. for 14 years can run for president. There is no legal impediment to Trump continuing his presidential campaign while facing criminal charges ' even if he were jailed, legal experts say.

Besides, Trump will not go on trial before the election, let alone the primaries.

Another besides: the next republican president will pardon Trump (even if, keeping this on topic, heaven forbid, it's Trump himself).
