Truly. How many times have we seen this? After a point it sounds more like they are trying to depress GOP turnout than chronicling Dem enthusiasm.

Been watching RealClearPolitics, the body of polls are starting to look good for the GOP.

Of course they're trying to depress GOP turnout.  It's all they've got.

That and voter fraud; illegals and dead people.

When my husband was the Republican County Chairman, he went to the graveyard and put up a sign, "EARLY VOTING STARTS (AND PUT THE DATE)"

The other thing he did was put a sign out in front of our Republican office that read, "Due to Heavy Turnout Republicans Will Vote on Tuesday; Democrats Will Vote on Wednesday"

The Democrat Chairman thought it was real and went across the street to the courthouse and demanded to know why the date was changed for them.

Frank Luntz: GOP facing ‘potential political disaster’ in midterms
By Aris Folley - 08/09/18 09:49 AM EDT

Republican pollster Frank Luntz said the GOP is heading towards a “potential political disaster” in the November midterm elections.

Speaking to The Associated Press, Luntz said that while the president energizes his party’s base, he anticipates Trump’s distractions and rhetoric could deter swing voters in battleground elections in House districts.

“This is political malpractice,” he told the news agency in a report published on Wednesday.

“You can’t find me a time in modern times when the economy was this strong and the governing party was headed toward a potential political disaster like this,” Luntz continued.

Lawdy,lawdy! De sky is fallin! De sky is fallin!

The only hope left is to dump Trump from the ticket in order to make the world safe for RINO's and other globalist scum!

Aren't these the same people that scoffed at Trump beating Bubbette! to start with?

Gee,if I didn't know better,I might suspect they have a personal interest in seeing Trump lose. </S>

It's the Cook County Way.

And don't you dare ask why Democrat and union officials can take the ballot boxes into a closed room without any Republican Judges going in there with them after the polls close.

You'll find that your Republican boss will tell you to be quiet about it - because that 'is how things are done'.

@Right_in_Virginia

They are more likely to suppress the Dim vote as Dim voters,who aren't known to be very bright to start with,start assuming Trump and his supporters have no chance of winning,so they might as well break the seal on another quart of Colt 45 and fire up the bong instead of doing all that hard getting dressed and going to the polls stuff.

@INVAR

That can't happen in Texas because I wrote a law, passed unanimously by the Texas Legislature, that determines who can be in central counting on election night and it details what each person does.  Each party is represented equally.  Before I wrote that law, the Election Administrator, could keep out the opposing party from central counting.  That was happening in our country, the Republicans couldn't go in, so I wrote that law.  When our Democrat county clerk who was in charge of elections, read in the local paper that law had passed, she threw the paper across the room and said every county clerk in Texas hated me.  When I was told that, I said, "I don't care."

That's why it's important, if one is so inclined to do so to become a precinct captain.  There are rules and then there are 'rules'.  Sad but true in some cases.

The dead on voter rolls casting votes is old school.

One year it was learned (okay... rumored because that is all you have when it comes to 'evidence' up there) that an entire elementary school's registered children had voted in an election.

Instances of voter fraud happens throughout the country.  Becoming a precinct captain in your area is helpful as is becoming a poll watcher.

Not disagreeing here, @INVAR

"Registered children"?   What does that mean?

Wouldn't a better description be 'enrolled student body'?   Otherwise, it infers the students actually registered themselves on the voter rolls en masse.  ...which wouldn't surprise me, either.

Up there 'registered' means 'enrolled'.

It also means 'voted'.

So does the word 'Dead' and 'phone book'.  Also means 'voted' - in the past tense.

You wrote the law @Victoria33   What position did you hold and what year was this?

[Absalom]

With all due respect @Victoria33 this is bullshit.  Independents and Reagan Democrats put Donald Trump in the White House --- and they did so knowing exactly who he is.  They are not going to abandon him or his agenda now.  Sorry, you are just plain wrong.

So anyone who expresses an opinion you don't like,
is a wrongheaded bullshitter. Hmm...............
As for those who actually knew Trump, one stands out;
Mary Ann McLeod, a Scottish immigrant and domestic
servant, who married Fred Trump and became his mother.
When he was 13 she sent him to military school,
describing him as "incorrigible" in the family biography.
Now he's an aging 72 and apparently little has changed.
Suggest you try a book from time to time!!!

Why are you babbling so early in the day @Absalom ??  Effects of medication?  Or maybe you need to stop and eat such lunch   

Whatever ... I just hope you figure out why soon.

Yeah, that was a bizarre post. Sorta came outta nowhere. Could make some sense if it were motivated by TDS, I suppose.

Another snarky ad hominem attack leveled by @Right_in_Virginia , just like her Dear Leader.

"Eat such lunch"? You know, there is a preview tab to edit your writings before hitting the dreaded post button. That's ok, I'll bet Dear Leader doesn't preview his tweets before sending them out.

I've discovered that I don't suffer from TDS, but I do have a "low-T" count, as in "zero trust in Trump."

Is that your best Trump-Negative attempt? "Incorrigible?"

The term brings to MY mind, personalities like Gen. George Patton.

Agressive Leaders, risk takers. Winners. Big Idea people. Doers.

    Hey @Absalom you're obviously over the target, hope you have some bomb left.

HTH would you know corbe.  You haven't been near a target much less over it for months!

I don't get why anyone would think Trump voters would abandon him.  Every time I read a negative MSM lie about Trump, it just makes me want to support him more.

I actually think more people are for Trump now because he's performed better as President than anyone could have hoped, well, than I could have hoped.  I wasn't even for him until he was elected and then I was so grateful that Hillary was defeated, I liked him for that.

And now I like him for his attitude and the things he has done and tried to do.
