Not so fast, if Trump rents of venue and opens it to the public it does not become his private castle but a place of public accommodation with all the laws applicable thereunto.

In any event, no matter how you define the venue, Trump does not have the right to inflict violence or to incite violence except in self-defense or in defense of another. He does not have the right to run a gang of brownshirts beating up members of the audience. Nor does he have the right to compel silence in the audience by violence although he might have the right to remove disruptors but that is a different matter.

Trump's disgraceful comments which I have catalogued raise a well-founded fear that as president of the United States he would invoke the powers of government, not excepting physical violence, to suppress free speech. There is nothing in Donald Trump's character that suggests he warrants taking such a risk in fact everything points in the contrary direction.

“He does not have the right to run a gang of brownshirts beating up members of the audience.”

Has never happened, only in the minds of the MSM (and Jimmy Fallon’s writers).

“Nor does he have the right to compel silence in the audience by violence”

Has never happened. When Reagan shouted “shut up!!” to a protester, was that violence?

“Trump’s disgraceful comments which I have catalogued raise a well-founded fear that as president of the United States he would invoke the powers of government, not excepting physical violence, to suppress free speech.”

“disgraceful comments; well-founded fear; invoke the powers of government...’

You are such a disinterested, coolly reasoned poster.

What about Cruz wanting to deny Trump supporters the right of peaceful assembly in Chicago?

I noticed the attempted terrorist assassin Bill Ayres was out with the protesters Friday night. Was Bill really offended at Trump’s speech at rallies, or is Ayres offended by Trump’s campaign issues?
