Jesus Christ man, you want to throw out the first amendment over a bad poll? Seriously?
A little reading and comprehension goes a long way.
Where did I say I want to throw anything out? Where did I say I like this lawsuit? Where did I even imply that I want this lawsuit to continue?
The only thing I said was maybe something good can come of it. It's called a thin silver lining.
Headline: Trump sues pollster
You: This could be good, maybe we'll get better polls.
What did I miss?
Because you didn't state what I said.
What I clearly said is MAYBE there MIGHT be SOME good.
Specifically what I said was "maybe there's actually some good that can come from this " which is a massive difference then saying "this could be good".
99.9% of it is bad, but that means that .1% of it might end up with some good. Not sure how any of that is confusing.
