lol...check out how far the GOP has sunk into the mud.

ESPN has nothing on this summer's Republican national convention.
Donald Trump’s campaign aides are lining up a slate of iconic sports figures to appear at the convention in Cleveland next month—including former undisputed world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, legendary Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka, former Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight, and NASCAR chief Brian France, people familiar with the planning told Bloomberg Politics.

Kanye inspired a new generation of protesters that relies solely on preventing the other side from speaking. He's inspired a generation.

What an oddly inaccurate assertion. No, he hasn't in any demonstrable way.

Why are these endorsements any worse than Susan Sarandon or any other celeb?

Shutting down a person's 1st amendment rights is the goal of the millinials whenever they protest. It's not about protesting and articulating greivances: it's about shutting down speech itself. Haven't you been paying attention to the protesters?

I don't think you have ever read the First Amendment. While I certainly do not support the drowning out of opposing voices, the First Amendment says nothing about that.

Bare assertion, assumes facts not in evidence.

See above.

Sarandon has an IQ above room temperature. Tyson, Ditka and Schilling? Not so much.

Mike Tyson? The convicted rapist?

Gee, I have no idea why he would be a worse choice than Susan Sarandon or any other celeb.
