I don’t think a Presidential candidate can afford to be seen as violating the laws that apply to the rest of us. I don’t understand the controversy.
To paraphrase David Horowitz, the controversy is never the controversy. His conservatism is the controversy. This man is the biggest threat to the pigs at the trough and they will try and harm him from now until, God willing, he leaves office in 2024. If Bush is any indicator maybe even after that.
Of course it makes no sense. Good thing is that the attacks will get tired soon and have less impact. Let them attack stupid things with stupid ideas early.
