I think if you've read one Donald Trump tweet, you have pretty much read them all. No need to waste bandwidth. |

The central issue in this election is whether the citizens get to control our government and restore democracy.................

Isn't twitter a private company? As a private company, they can not choose what content gets on their site? And I have comments on Breitbart that got deleted..does that mean that Breitbart violated my "free speech"? |

So..you cannot answer the question Ok..conservatives like yourself often defend private companies rights to choose who they serve..or in this case, determine what content appears on their site/app. So what if twitter is a dem lap dog..they have every right to do so, yes? and it cost nothing for Trump to use twitter..so bitching about them not letting your content on the site is like complaining that your free speech was violated when you asked to leave a party at someone residence because you insulted other guest. Perhaps this is an opportunity for you to start a similar site that has 100% free speech. |

Yes, but the CEO holds the most amount of outstanding shares. There's nothing wrong but don't go around the world claiming to have a diverse opinion or giving glamourous speeches about the importance of a free speech society. |

Offensive comments? The site has every right to remove it. Breibart made its political position clear, not sure why you posted there and complain your posting getting deleted. |

I dont care if they deleted my comments..that's the point comrade Like twitter, they have a right to determine what goes on their site..its not repressing free speech. and the private site does not have to make their political position clear to make such determinations..seems like you have two standards One for brietbart and one for twitter ![]() |

Nope no problem at all....they have pretty clear where their support lies....unlike Twitter...who hired SJW snowflakes but claims neutrality... BTW not to diminish your importance in the world but you commenting on news site is um...not in anyway a front runner of one of the major parties...just the traffic Trump drives alone would make no business sense to shadow ban...much like liberal favorite...Bernie.. http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/02/29/bernie-supporters-accuse-twitter-of-censorship-on-behalf-of-hillary/ |

No one is arguing that....still doesn't change what Drudge wrote...and of course not acting like there is no bias would be helpful.... Their treatment of my boy Milo has been quite telling.... http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/01/09/twitter-declares-war-on-conservative-media-unverifies-breitbart-tech-editor/ |

Like I said, Breibart's position is clear when it comes to political leaning. Twitter claimed to be this free speech champion company but delete tweets that disagree with the company's political leaning. There is no hypocrisy comrade. |

Oh for Christ's sake, who cares. Enough of this lunacy of tweeting every idiot expression that pops into that idiot's brain. |

Unfortunately, Twitter cares. I am sure they are paying someone $30 an hour just to monitor any tweet by trump or by his campaign. |
