Snopes has been shilling for Hillary since last year. Here is a better source http://www.dallasnews.com/news/2016...inton-elections-officials-say-just-user-error
I find irony in the fact that the party claiming a rigged elections are the only ones found illegally rigging the election by removing people from voter rolls and making it difficult to vote as a poor person.
LOL Anyway it makes no sense that someone would rig machines to reveal on the screen that the vote had been switched.
Again, debunked. And I repeat: what in the ever-loving **** happened to you all? Has the potential of a 3rd Dem presidency made some of you seriously lose your minds? My God, between Giuliani, Gingrich, Hannity, Limbaugh, and Trump, it's like the political version of the Caltech Beavers' starting 5 - and I feel bad for insulting the Beavers like that.
lol.. two people on facebook said it happened so there is your rigged election. The worst part of this election is the confirmation bias. Even Fox News is not enough for these people, so Trump will make his own network and make a bunch of money off of these dopes.
Two people on Facebook you don't know said that it happened. It could have been a lie, it could have been user error, etc etc etc. And that turns into "democrats are cheating us a fair election" Life is tough buddy, I feel sorry for you.
You want to see real cheating people out of an election? WI Clerk Cites Students' Dem Lean As Reason Not To Open Campus Voting Site A Wisconsin city clerk said that she had heard "students lean more toward the democrats" and cited it as a reason not to open a campus early voting site, as some college groups had requested, according to an email surfaced by The Nation Tuesday. "I was reading the statutes and read: No site may be designated that affords an advantage to any political party."
Even the creepy republican county clerk says they investigated possible glitches in voting machines and can't find ANYTHING! Keep those tin hats on Trumpkins
So guys & girls, I early voted yesterday and can contest exactly what is going on with the voting machines. Long story short, it's user error, and NO its not CHANGING your vote to Hillary, its NOTIFYING YOU that YOU changed your vote. -What happens is when you press the button to select all for voting down-ticket one way or another, it takes you to the next screen where there are boxes highlighted for the candidates you want to select, and the boxes to check are highlighted in red. If you click on your candidate again, and click next, you get a notification that your selection has been changed. TBH, I am pretty tech savvy and even I did this so it is an issue that they need to make easier next voting season, but it doesn't change your selection to the other candidate. You simply have to make sure you have all the correct boxes checked if you click to all for your party on the first screen. So stop the crying Trumpkins.... nobody is rigging anything. You just don't know how to use computers, or you are embellishing your voting story. The folks at the voting booth all do a very good job from what I could see and were very professional. If all voting boths are handled with 70% of the professionalism I saw, there is no way there will be significant voter fraud at the polls. if your candidate loses, its because he was maybe the worst candidate in the history of American politics. And FYI... he might still win because of many different factors... including a brainwashed alt-right white electorate who will lap up any BS put on their plate. Donald Trump said it best more than a decade ago when he said "If I run I would run as a Republican... they are the dumbest group of voters... They love anything on Fox News. I would lie and they would still eat it up... " Donald was right and it might very well get him all the way to the White House if there isn't massive turnout for Clinton which right now is the big concern for Dems. Voting fraud with rigged machines is just complete paranoia and a loser mentality.
http://www.snopes.com/1998-trump-people-quote/ Not true. But he's definitely not a Republican, just an opportunist.
Ha, I love this "not a Republican (because I said so)" rationale. I'm glad you have access to the special double secret litmus test of real Republicanism, no doubt delivered to you by the ghost of Ronald Reagan one night while you were re-reading the Fountainhead while emailing George F. Will for bowtie buying advice. For the rest of us, he is the Republican nominee for President - that is as real as it gets. He owns your party, and you own the things he says. That's the way it works.
Well, it's not hard to decipher. He made many public statements for 25 years that were at odds with Republican ideals. He was a big Democrat donor for years. He opposes free trade. Big proponent of eminent domain. Was a proponent of a single payer system. And many other issues. And no, I don't own what he says. He might be the Republican nominee, but he doesn't represent all Republicans. You can try and say he does, but you can't tell me (or others) who represents us or our ideals. Just because you say it works that way, doesn't make it so.
Who cares what the Donald Trump of 20 years ago said? The Donald Trump of now and his supporters largely wrote the current Republican party platform, most of which bears precious little variation from the most recent iterations thereof and is certainly not inconsistent with the rhetoric of the last 4 years. By objective standards he represents the views and has earned the trust of your party far more than any other pretender. Obviously, he destroyed the GOP's vaunted "deep bench" (of losers) in the Primary, and as far as others, well, I'll just leave this here: He's also going to garner 80%+ of all Republican votes in 2 weeks. But anyway, yeah "because you said so" is a compelling counterargument. You can't wish away Trump, and you can't wish away what your party has become in the age of Trump, but not exclusively because of Trump.
He's going to garner Republican votes because Republicans hate Hillary Clinton and would rather roll with Trump than see a "third Obama term." And you don't seem to understand that not every Republican is the same. There are MANY Republicans who truly hate Donald Trump and absolutely don't believe he has an ounce of Republicanism in his body. I talk to far more Republicans than you, so don't tell me how Republicans think because you simply do not know. You also have absolutely no idea how contentious the party platform committee meetings were. I know because I was in the room for both the local conventions and the state convention. You have absolutely no idea how much infighting there is between Republicans right now. Many of them don't agree with Trump, many hate him, all of them fear Clinton and some are choosing what they perceive to be the lesser of two evils. You paint everyone with a broad stroke. And his comments of 20 years ago are absolutely relevant. If not, than stop talking about his comments about grabbing women by the p***y 11 years ago. You don't flip flop on major issues to suddenly become Republican in a year that should have guaranteed a Republican victory. He's an opportunist. You constantly want to rag on Republicans so you refuse to admit that, but every Republican knows he isn't Republican.
Vote rigging? fraud? Things are about to get real. TPM "In a dramatic escalation of a long legal battle between the national Democratic and Republican parties – and in what is arguably a fitting culmination to the year of Donald Trump – the Democratic National Committee is asking a federal court to hold the Republican National Committee in contempt of court for allegedly violating a decades-old consent decree limiting so-called "ballot security" activities at poll places. The Democrats' filing Wednesday, among other things, ask that the consent decree -- which is set to expire Dec. 17 -- be extended for another eight years. The DNC is also asking the court to block any coordination between Trump and the RNC as it relates to Election Day poll monitoring activities that many fear will amount to voter intimidation."
You misread, friend - while it's pretty easy to figure out what pushes your buttons, at least in the context of this august forumI'm not portending to be Dr. Charles Xavier reading people's minds via a massive machine and determining who has an "ounce of Republicanism" (Aside: what is an ounce of Republicanism? That's a punchline by itself - is it the distilled essence of Sam Brownback's farts?). There very well may be "many Republicans" who hate him, yet there are many, many, many more who love him, or who tolerate, or who aid and abet him such as yourself. I'm merely looking at the objective evidence, which includes: *Trump winning the Republican Presidential primary *Trump being on the Ballot as the official Republican Party Presidential Nominee in 50 states & DC *Trump *still*, despite being an utterly toxic, brand destroying embarrassment, being *very popular* in the GOP, probably it's most popular figure, recently reaching his highest intra-party favorability mark of the season, despite the titanic disaster of his last 6 weks. *Trump *still*, despite being an utterly toxic, brand destroying embarrassment, has the support of GOP leadership, despite having repeatedly insulted and belittled them and publicly humliated them (see Ryan, Rubio, Cruz for the holy trinity These aren't opinions, or a wishful vision of a pretend Republican party like @ima_drummer2k or yourself - it' s just reality. First, I express sympathy for you having had to spend time at state and local party platform committee meetins, it sounds truly horrifying and hope for your sake that you were not there voluntarily . Second, we have plenty of idea how those things went, at the national level because it was reported on at the time - basically, Trump put in a bunch of pro-Russia sh-t, the rest was standard GOP dogma/dogcrap about the estate tax, pro life. Same ****, in a different, more openly racist alt right bottle. Who cares? Sorry, but you don't get to do this. Trump didn't take over the Republican party on his own -this has driven about a thousand thinkpieces and longform articles in the past few months. Read any of Janelle Bouie's work, or Dylan Matthews or Ezra Klein or Will Saletan or really anybody. Trump took over a Republican party because it let him, starting in 2008. Racism is a long held tenet of Republicans dating back to Nixon but the election of 2008 (and birtherism) kicked it into overdrive and brought it out into the open. This didn't start with Trump, he merely picked up the ball. Anti intellectualism/elitism (see climate change denialism, e.g.) has been the other pillar of this strategy - and the mass sorting/polarization of the internet has just reinforced this. Again, this didn't start with Trump, he merely picked up on what others had done. Basically, a beast of anger, racism and stupid was cultivate dso that GOP'sters could win mid-terms and off-year elections. And it worked. The only problem is...it worked. You're right that he's an opportunist - and the opportunity was created by a bankrupt party apparatus that has no ideas, fed its racist paranoid base a diet of lies as a trade off who then one day woke up and realized they don't really give a **** about the Koch brothers not wanting to pay estate tax. As an active Republican, you own this. It owns you. If you don't want to be associated with it, don't be a Republican.
Sam, you have no desire to have civil discourse, just insults and condescension. Par for the course for you. Republicans are not racists, but continue to believe whatever it is you wish to in your fantasy world. Democrats just love to throw out those terms, it's like they've forgotten the actual meaning of them. I'm a Republican and Donald Trump does not represent me, despite what you insist.
