Trump's speech isn't being held hostage by the government, so it's not a matter of free speech. Fawke Em Mar 2016 #45

The media's role in this is huge casperthegm Mar 2016 #49

I agree casperthegm monicaangela Mar 2016 #58

excellent point; they already are trying to use it against Bernie and supporters amborin Mar 2016 #119

Trump incites racial violence. His supporters have a physical agenda that needs to be confronted Cheese Sandwich Mar 2016 #48

Many of his supporters are racists and look for confrontations casperthegm Mar 2016 #53

Trump encourages violence. To me it's fascism. They have the right to speak and we have the right to Cheese Sandwich Mar 2016 #57

Yes, we have every right to protest casperthegm Mar 2016 #74
