All you need is a sizable “donation” to get to meet the dumbass. He is nearly 80. pretty easy to cause a “fall”.

Just knowing that I'd never need to hear him speak again would be a huge win for me at this point.

Unfortunately, it seems the left never passed rifle-quals.

Have any of the attempts been carried out by a leftist? Pretty sure they've all been lolbertarians and groypers.

Apparently the last guy, at the WHCD, was a leftie. He seems to be the first though.

He sounded more like a moderate who’d finally had too much. But I could be wrong. Also considering how far right the center has moved, he could be left of center and still be what we’re all used to call conservative.
