Voter fraud like this is all risk and no reward. I want to know how his idea really works. I voted in CA. Brought my voter guide with me, no ID was shown. They looked up my name on the humongous printed spreadsheets, crossed it off and I signed in the blank spot confirming it’s me. I fill out the ballot, they drop it in, confirming my votes all count and I leave. So how could it actually be possible for me to just switch hats, use a southern American or British accent, go back in and say, “Sorry, old chap. I believe you’ve crossed the wrong name off. I haven’t been here yet”? It’s the same five people at my orange table (non-partisan crossover, aka Independent). Is he really saying all voter volunteers are stupid? Probably. ---

Is he really saying all voter volunteers are stupid? Probably. Well, since Trump’s target audience is ‘people who NEVER think things through,’ he’s probably okay with the ridiculous scenario. They’ll never criticize him for saying something that’s idiotic on its face, because they’re incapable of realizing it’s idiotic on its face. ---

Man, the Trumpster went to comparing heckling at restaurants with the pipe bombs when pressed to name a liberal inspired domestic terrorist attack. The Al Jazeera guy should attend the White House briefings and start his question by saying “Jim Acosta asked me to ask you…” and then proceed to expose whatever bullshit that Trump or Huckabee Slanders replies with. ---

Yeah, that interview was rough. I started to feel bad for Steven Rogers. “They are bringing weapons over the border!” LOL, anyone can get any weapons they want here, nobody has to bring them over the border. ---

When his absence became a scandal, the White House said the decision had been made because Marine One reportedly could not fly in the rain, and Secret Service did not want Trump traveling by motorcade. One Republican briefed on the internal discussions said the real reason Trump did not want to go was because there would be no tent to stand under. **“He was worried his hair was going to get messed up in the rain,”** the source said. “[John] Bolton and everyone was telling him this was a big mistake.” A former administration official said Trump hates being outside in wet conditions. “What I honestly think? He woke up and said, ‘It’s pouring rain. This is a joke and I’m not doing this.’” my bold His hair. But nobody respects veterans more than Trump. :rolleyes: ---
