I love you Jeff, but GIVE IT UP.

Republicans cannot even unite around the concept of FREE SPEECH...not even TED CRUZ.

They’re hopeless. Trump will get to the White House, he’ll just have to do it through the support of others.

Might depend on whether you define the voters as the party, or the people running around with their hair on fire inside the beltway as the party.

>>Republicans cannot even unite around the concept of FREE SPEECH

We could unite around it, but modern interpretations have changed it into “freedom of expression”, so that dipping a cross in urine, burning a flag, holding “God hates fags” signs at a soldier’s funeral, and physically disrupting a rally become “speech”...

....but throwing the jar of urine in the artist’s face, kicking a flag burner’s butt, knocking down the fag signs, or physically stopping a disruption are a violation of this “freedom of expression”.

Freedom of speech means that you have a right to a soapbox, just like everyone else. But the other guy does not have to provide it, or stop speaking because you are ready to talk.

The First Amendment was made for people who don’t have a suicide pact with stupidity.
