No. This is a free country. Let him voice his grievances. He will be back in business and TV if he loses and there is nothing his opponents can do about it.

No, he should be banned now. For massive trolling.

That would be nice. But then we would have to deal with similar rhetoric coming from a "John Miller."

No, but I might finally block him.

As long as he is not violating any law with his posts, no. This is a country of free speech and not censorship. The only justification for a ban is behavior, that is found unlawful by courts.

Twitter isn't the government.  Shouldn't they be free to ban Trump if they'd like?

No, but I don't think they'll have to. If it wins his account will (hopefully?) be regulated by his staff, so it won't be his anymore. If he loses I suspect the sudden loss of attention and massive drop in followers that's sure to come will shame him into quitting it on his own volition.

Trump should have been banned from all social networks long ago.

Yes, and then ban the reprobate from real life. Armed guards should nail Drumpf Tower shut and see how long it takes the big orange maggot to starve. You know, for science or something.

I don't care what happens as long as he is mocked, humiliated, and ruthlessly hounded about his brutal loss everywhere he goes. He doesn't deserve an ordinary life. I'd love to see lawsuits coming out his ears, Melania leaving him, all his wealth stripped, and his spoiled kids outted as scum one by one. Don Jr the sexist pig is a good start.

No, he should be placed in an Ecuadorian Embassy and have his internet cut off.

You are not entitled to protection from having your political jimmies ruffled, sorry. :-)

Tweeting does not equal free speech. It's a company that can ban anyone it wants and has banned people in the past.

After? He should have been banned ages ago when he posted that ridiculous anti-semitic piece.

No, let him speak.

I hope Donald Trump's staff would also keep the nuclear football away from him in case he's elected.

Twitter is a private institution and they can ban anyone. That said, it is a unique form of communication that should at least afford some protections of free speech to its users whether that is constitutional or private policy. I think we should wait and see. If he succesfully solicits or incites a felony in the coming days and weeks, he should be perman&. End of story.

Should Trump win the election, the Secret Service is going to have quite a bit to say about Trump's twitter habits.  They took Obama's Blackberry away, and they have a responsibility to assure that the President doesn't leak information that could jeopardize himself or the integrity of government.

Of course, Trump could just fire them all and hire his own goons that will let him do whatever he wants.

Now, if Trump loses, he can tweet away to his heart's content Smiley.
