Trump Openly Admits Voting Reforms In COVID Relief Bill Would Endanger Republicans

You’re not supposed to say the quiet parts out loud, Mr. President!

On Monday morning, President Donald Trump told the co-hosts of “Fox and Friends” that House Democrats had tried to include “crazy” proposals in the $2 trillion COVID-19 relief package that passed last week, including measures aimed at easing the voting process for Americans during the coronavirus outbreak.

Trump says out loud what GOPers say in private. He did it for racism. Now it’s on voting. Expect no major GOPers to disagree.

The House Democrats’ bill would have also made Election Day a national holiday

Do this. Or move the veterans day holiday to election day.

“They had things, levels of voting …"

Can’t have things like high levels of people voting.

That would be too much like representative democracy and what the Constitution and liberty suggest might be a good thing.

“They had things, levels of voting that if you ever agreed to it you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,” Trump said.

That may be the first true thing he’s ever said.

Keep trying, Dems. Embarrass them with Donnie’s candor. He admits Republicans can’t win if every eligible citizen can vote.

Democratic political ads practically write themselves. Ah, yes, Agent Orange admitting if more people vote, the more Republicans lose.

If the GOP had its way the only people who could vote would be White, male, Christian property owners.

Read the article carefully, though.

There are no quotes from anyone who works for her, or has worked for her. Its a lot of supposition from “centrist Dems” that they actually quote.

I say this because, politically and pragmatically, AOC endorsing Warren over Sanders was clearly the superior path, if she had to endorse someone (and she didn’t have to endorse anyone). But she chose to endorse Sanders anyway.

So I am a little skeptical. Plus, its Politico, and they have a pretty consistent record of getting inside baseball pretty accurately with republicans, but absolutely completely wrong with Democrats.
