Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Bob Ney: The use of public figures is allowed under free speech, so the RNC is going to use Trump's name. Trump's probably looking for some revenue for the use of his name.

Bob Ney: In 1992, I believe it was, & then after 9/11, we had the War Powers Act, & it's been debated ever since. That should be shut down. It wasn't meant to be an open issue all this time. There's a bipartisan move in Senate to reverse it.
