No one plays the victim card like conservatives. They feel butt hurt about anything and everything. If the world ended tomorrow, they would take it as a personal attack.

>> Twitter banned ALL political ads, yet somehow only conservatives feel discriminated against?

I don't see any "conservative" political ads. Do you see Trump running ads on Twitter? No.

Twitter is a wasteland. No one is being influenced by these stupid shit expenditures. Trump proved that last time. The ONLY thing that matters is to know who the tiny fraction of influenceable voters are, and to speak to them directly.

Which is what he did when he made SEVEN campaign stops on the day before the election, adding one stop at 1am only five hours before. Because he had the stamina and drive to do it, and HRC couldn't even make it to planned stops. That's what flipped the 2016 election, and is likely to do it again.

Bloomberg threatens to make a real horse race out of it, and while I prefer Trump to Bloomberg, I would find Bloomberg more tolerable than any other leftist in the race.

But Americans would have to be stupid to look past the Trump economy for the idea that Bloomberg is going to improve it. That seems awfully unlikely.

Trump created the best economy in modern history, and it would be stupid to piss it away for no reason.

Does banning political ads square with democracy? That's the question.
