Make it a little harder for liberals to vote?

“And then they remind me that there’s a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who that maybe we don’t want to vote,” the 59-year-old said, in footage shared on social media.

“Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. So, I think that’s a great idea.”



This is a US SENATOR speaking about democracy in America today!!!

Of course that is not an American quality.
I wonder how it compares morally with the idea of getting all the illegals in that you can, and trying to get them the right to vote for the people who promoted their illegal entry.
Maybe we need to make that a little more difficult.... since it is not only un-American, it is immoral AND illegal. Do you not realize that what Maxine Waters and her crowd has been promoting shades that senator's statement by a mile? Reasonable people on either side know it does.

How about we all just respect and uphold the the law, respect the nation, and respect each other? And when I say we all do that, the left is not excluded, even though it normally thinks it's free to apply a flexible standard.

 

It was under Obama that we came up with a bipartisan immigration reform bill that included tens of BILLIONS of new money for border enhancement, explicit jobs protection, and visa changes to combat how nearly half have actually come LEGALLY.

You've got NO ARGUMENT. The Senate passed that bill. Boehner blocked it even though the House would have passed it.


And, I gave you a case of a US Senator EXPLICITLY STATING that it would be fine to assault our democracy for partisan political gain.

I'd also point out Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Mississippi, and the despicable case of North Dakota Republicans making it impossible for many native Americans to vote by requiring street addresses many simply don't have.

I like your platitude, but your attempt at defending the Republican assault on democracy rings hollow.

 

IF a single illegal is voting in any state it is BECAUSE THOSE PAID TO WORK ON ELECTION DAY ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOB!!!The safeguards are in place to prevent any unregistered voter from voting, if it does happen it's because PAID ELECTION WORKERS ARE NOT DOING THE JOB THEY WERE HIRED FOR!!!

 

If we had a test on history and economics to qualify as a voter, it would knock out about 90% of all libs.

But those tests are unconstitutional. Pity.

 

Sure. Got proof?

 

And if the same tests were required to run, we wouldn't have Trump. I'm against it, but I see the appeal.

 

Trump would do well on the economics test. History, not so much.

 

Nope. Trump thinks that trade deficits are literal monetary deficits. He's said our country would be billions of dollars richer if we traded with no one. That may be the most economically ignorant statement ever made by a sitting president. No one who stayed awake for the comparative advantage portion of their Intro to Econ class could take that seriously. Almost every economist since (and including) Adam Smith, except for a handful of far left "economists" and Peter Navarro would laugh you out of the classroom for ignorance like that.

 

I don't see any evidence of him being especially competent in economic policy.

His experience is as a user for his own personal gain - finding ways to defeat the intent of laws that affect his businesses.

That isn't useful in figuring out what is good economic policy for the majority of Americans.

We're running significant deficits today because of his tax cuts - cuts that have targeted the wealthy.

He has us trying to work with significant tariffs with exceptions made to try to save specific politically important sectors.

 

It sounds outrageous every time a Republican says it out loud. But it is the main and most effective political belief. Democracy does not benefit those who cater, not to the people, but to the small elite. So the way to impose it is to undermine Democracy. Make it more difficult for Democrats to vote. Or prolong an investigation beyond its shelf life to undermine a candidate. Or to do all possible to stop vote counting the minute the candidate of their choosing is ahead. It's what Republicans do. If it weren't for the times Democrats manage to defeat their financial power and propaganda and grab some influence, we would have a dictatorship And Republicans would be the first wondering 'how did this happen"?

 

His goal is "fair trade" and he'll do or say what it takes to get there.

 

Well, he's better on economics than every liberal because he believes less government equals more prosperity for all.

Liberals who think more government will advance an economy are a few bricks short of a full load.

 

No amount of jingoism addresses what I said. He actually claimed we'd be billions richer if we cut off all trade. Again, this is probably the most economically ignorant statement a US President has made. We could power the entire country with how fast Adam Smith is spinning in his grave. "But he wants (stolen liberal slogan) 'fair trade' doesn't change the fact that his opinion about our country being richer without any trade at all is as dumb as a sack of hammers.

 

So far he's been for more government in economics, not less. And he used ONLY liberal economic sources on the campaign trail. Trumpists who think that more government will advance the economy are short just as many bricks. Sorry.

 

I agree. But I've learned not to take what he says too seriously. Take what he does very seriously.

 

So, like his unconstitutional tariffs. Yeah, those too.

 

He's done much deregulating. I hope he continues.

 

He's done some deregulation and some extra regulating. Tariffs are regulation.

 

How much economics does one have to know in order to inherit 400 million dollars from your dad and then pretend your made it all on your own?

 

I do take what he does seriously. That is why I keep telling people that tRump has poor character. He is rude, dumb, and a habitual liar.

 

OP

I believe the right to vote in general elections ought to depend more upon intelligence quotient than any political leanings.

 

It would not surprise me if this notion caught on. Folks are seeing just how wrong the left is.

 

Well- when it comes to hollow, if I'm beating on an empty barrel.... you are thumping on a giant sinkhole.

 

Ironic given that your beloved BLOTUS would FAIL those tests!
