Trump Says Maybe Election Should Be Postponed

[johny5]

Good lord must we be so literal.

So, you're new here...

It's pretty obvious from the punctuation that he was casting some bait to make a point.
But the media is squarely too illiterate to understand that.

Just saw a preview for a story coming up on WTHR and how ticked off voters were for the primaries with the mail-in ballot problems.

Now let's think about this... If they wanted to reduce contact by having fewer voters at the polls, it would have been logical to INCREASE the number of polling places. Instead, they substantially REDUCED the number of polling places. That was a recipe for disaster. Was it stupidity? Or was it done purposefully to increase peoples' frustration with "in person" voting so they would look more favorably on mail-in ballots? You decide.

They're going to be increasing the numbers of polling places and allow more early voting locations for the general elections, but they still won't be back up to the full number of polling places. That is inexcusable. They should be increasing them, not decreasing them.

It's all well and good to increase the number of polling places. The problem is finding people to man them. That is becoming a serious problem, not just this election but starting several elections back. This primary was especially bad. With the Covid a lot of volunteer workers said **** that. With the majority of the ones I see around here, being anywhere from old to downright ancient, I can't say that I blame them.

I have thought a lot over the last few years that Trump must be an idiot for things he says, but it seems to work for him. While I would not have said what he did, he may well have done it on purpose for reasons that make sense to him.

I can just see Trump posting that and then turning to everyone in the room and saying "that aught to cause more than a few heads to explode".

Story on FOX news where he floated the thought because of possible voter fraud. I agree with the possible fraud in mail in voting, but he should have never even uttered that phrase. The Dems have been warning of him "not leaving office" after the election and he says this. This guy is his own worst enemy.

I heard President Trump say "Trump Says Maybe Election Should Be Postponed, Congress has the power to do it". He didn't say he would do it.

Yeah, they did mention that in the story once they showed the whole thing. Not sure how to work around that. Certainly not an ideal situation.

My grandfather told me before i was going to vote for the first time, he said boy nothing in politics happens by accident. Nothing....

Yep, those that dont get The President, should read a few of his books.

Just waving the Twitter laser pointer.

"What? No! We can't change our elections because of the pandemic."

"Good, I agree, we should stick with the established date and system. Glad we could settle that."

The Dems and media have been falling all over each other to get to a microphone and confirm no delays in the date. Hope this bites them in the butt.

I'm flabbergasted it still works after all this time. Our media are not the best and brightest.

I propose, to keep social distancing standards and eliminate overcrowding polling places; that Republicans, Trumptards and non-black-blacks vote on November 3rd and all others vote on November 4th.

That is every bit as true as the follow the money INGO mantra... Rep sent...

Rush Limbaugh is the one responsible for that mantra, not INGO.

Regardless it has been a pert of Ingo for some time now. I never heard Rush say it but hey, its ours now....

How does someone suggest postponing the election and tell school to open in one breath. Don't those seem like conflicting interests?

 

[2A_Tom]

One is serious, the other is

Public schools should never open. All tax money should be refunded and parents should be responsible for their children's education. Whether that be Home school, private school, religious school or tooters.





























I know it is tutors, take it as the joke it was meant.

I did read about the FBI going after Biden's brother and the IRS going after Hunter.

That's not an answer.
