He's doing a DIY "run for president"

I bet there aren't any other candidates funding themselves

You do realise, don't you that it does not matter which way you go, the more
people add to the totals of both the more likely it is to get another
debate?

If you really do want him here, then just keep quiet.

That you don't want him banned does not mean you want him here.

I don't want him here, I just think the idea of banning him is ridiculous

If Donald Trump cannot be banned, that will set a precedent and open the door to hate preachers and other undesirable scum we do not want, including some that we have taken years to get rid of. The law is the law and applies equally to extremism whichever end of the political spectrum it comes from.

I've seen one theory that The Donald(tm) is actively trying to torpedo
his own campaign. The logic is that he realises he can't win, and that
it's costing him far more than be bargained for, but he doesn't want to
lose face by standing up and saying that, then withdrawing - so he's
trying to be forced to withdraw, so he can claim that it's external
forces.

The flaw, of course, is that he would have to believe that it does him
less damage to do this than to just say "I'm out"

Yep. We might even have to put up with Billy Bragg, Russell Brand, and
the like...

the biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly
diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential
survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations
into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with
what it actually is.

Agreed, and agreed. I don't think the petition will result in him being
banned, but I signed because of the message it sends.

It's extremely anti-democratic to ban someone just because you find their
views objectionable. That's the road to irreversible tyranny if ever
there was one.

It's isn't, I suggest becasue of his views, per se. It's because he's
attempting to convert others - in breach of the law.
