2:10 p.m.

A judge in Cleveland has issued a temporary restraining order against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign and a Republican political operative from harassing or intimidating Ohio voters.

Why does the GOP not sue the Dems? Are we playing this game with one hand tied behind our backs?

This is insane. The judge is a total tool. Obviously this does just the opposite and allows and even encourages any democrat to intimidate and commit voter fraud.

Voter intimidation or harassment are already illegal, so this order seems to be pointless. If he can prove they are intimidating voters, there are already laws for that. If he tries to charge people for contempt over something he can’t prove, then he needs to be disrobed.

I’m sure judge Gwin is aware of Philly and the black kitty cat party last election.

Who appointed this judge?
