Spencer spoke at the agricultural pavilion on the East Lansing, Michigan campus on Monday. But, only about a dozen people turned out to hear the speech as more than 200 students, professors, antifa activists and anarchists protested outside on a cold, windy overcast day....

My view is that is what other colleges should do. Allow him to speak during spring break, and in the summer, and at other times like that.

I see a Cabinet Post for him when the next Trump Cabinet Member resigns or is indicted by Mueller.
