    It's am organization. It doesn't have First Amendment rights. Moreover, if it were nothing more nor less than a gun club that stayed out of politics, it wouldn't be in this fix.

    “He cheats at the highest level. He cheats when people are watching and he cheats when they aren’t. He cheats whether you like it or not. He cheats because that’s how he plays golf … if you’re playing golf with him, he’s going to cheat.”
    — Rick Reilly in the new book, Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump, on President Trump.

  4. Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, and Amy Klobuchar... Strangely enough those four are candidates I REALLY don't want to have to vote for. Tulsi Gabbard isn't doing herself any favors either. She's doing the "Well, the Mueller report is in so let's get cracking with the bipartisan action." Does she not ever watch the Republican? She's stuggling to get enough donors to be allowed on the debate stage anyway. Don't like her either.
