Trump floats delaying election despite lack of authority to do so

There was nothing disingenuous, false, or incorrect in CNN’s factual news reporting. Below is the first paragraph from the OP article. President Trump absolutely “floated” the idea.


(CNN)President Donald Trump explicitly floated delaying November's presidential election on Thursday, lending extraordinary voice to persistent concerns that he will seek to circumvent voting in a contest where he currently trails his opponent by double digits.

Regardless of whether you like the news, it is indeed news.

They were also factual in pointing out that the president has no authority to incorporate such an idea.

Further reading of the article highlights the importance and need of a Free Press. This was a very well written news article.

 

Oh oh peach forta fi, peach forta fi!!!!

 

Yeah, fake news.

This whole issue is dead anyway. It was all cleared up at yesterdays press conference. He trolled. The left bit his bait.

 

maybe i should have been clear the. issue was with posters suggesting he claimed he had the authority to do it

 

It was an excellent well written article another fine piece of journalism by CNN well done. Also if he trolled he lost.


When you troll someone you don’t try to lose ground.

My compliments it’s really refreshing that you owned up to that. Very well done. I agree the article doesn’t state that nor did the president ever claim to have the power to do it. It was clearly an idea floated. And even CNN agrees

 

no it’s not. i suggest you read what treason is...it’s the only crime in the US Constitution...read the elements

no it’s based on what’s actually happening in real time in place like NY and NJ

 

Work for CNN eh? My condolences.

 

Again the article wasn’t fake it reported news. Question. Did trump float the idea of moving the election on Twitter?

 

The DP is the party of rigged elections and vote fraud, but I expect the RP to catch up with them thanks to all the mail in ballots.

 

Nicely said. I'm fairly certain the reason will be some version of "butwhataboutthem."

Children. Every single partisan on this forum. None of them are willing to take the high road and prove a partisan can also behave like an adult. Not one of them even pretends to try to see that the other side's point of view. Politics has nothing to do with getting along; it's one giant game of "I know you are but what am I?"

 

Mail voting is designed to rig elections.
Everyone knows that the DP is the party of rigged elections. The DP even rigs its own primaries.

"While the DNC has offered voter protection assistance to every campaign in New Hampshire — and several, including the Sanders campaign, are participating in some capacity with the DNC — several campaigns were wary of working with the national committee because of the requirements to take part, the source said.

To participate in the DNC's voter protection effort, campaigns had to agree that only the DNC could give marching orders to volunteers if they encountered issues affecting the ability to vote. The worry among some campaigns is that those affiliated with a candidate would have to observe silently, instead of intervening, if there were an issue."

The DP is reallly the ADP, The Anti-Democratic Party.
Sanders was black balled - again.

 

You really hate facts when they don't suit your narrative.

 

Not correct. There is no Constitutional path for what happens to the make-up of Congress should a President manage to delay the election. In that event we are off the map, off the foundation of the Republic.What happens next is an unknown and a scary time.

Nonsense. Vite fraud is extremely rare in the USA. Even by numbers promoted by those claiming it is a big problem, it is microscopic. Of the over 120 million votes cast in 2016, less than 1300 votes have been alleged to be fraudulent in some fashion. Simple math, 1300 divided by 120 million is about 0.01 percent. That is the very definition of "Very Rare".

 

Did you recognize that a voter application form is not the same as a ballot yet?

 

stupidest thing Ive read all week.

and paranoid

 

meanwhile the only recent case of massive election fraud was done by Republicans in North Carolina

 

yes, mere statements can be an act of Treason.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

 

maybe you are unaware of the case ongoing in NJ? of the lawsuit on NY?

but thanks for reminding us of that NC...that dealt with mail in ballots too

 

correct...it goes on...but being concerned about a voting process isn’t giving aid and comfort to our enemies

unless of course the dems now think half of the population that doesn’t adhere to the leftist policies are your enemies...i suppose his concern about the security of our voting process then could be considered treason against the DNC.

 

it can be if you are trying to sow chaos and fear in the USA, which only helps our enemies..or trying to sow the seeds of violent insurrection

 

The simple truth of the matter is that there is absolutely no way of ensuring that only living citizens of the united states are taking part in the election process. That is an absolute, undeniable fact of the matter.

 

dead people cant vote, as they are dead.

 

Fake Don's scheme to discredit the November 3 election is not without precedent.

When he loses - and he is likely to lose - he throws a pissy tantrum and insists the election could not be legitimate.

Even before he was elected, Fake Don frequently made unsubstantiated assertions about widespread voter fraud. He called for a do-over after losing the Iowa caucuses to Ted Cruz in 2016.

He made phony claims about “serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California” after failing to carry those states in the general election that year.

When he lost the popular vote by 2.9 million in 2016, he reached up his flabby butt and pulled out the crackpot notion that millions of invisible, bogus voters all cast ballots against him. (Not one was ever identified or apprehended, of course, despite the fanatical zeal of Fake Don's fizzled voter fraud czar, Uber-Trumpeter Kobach.)

Will he again attack and demean America's democratic process?

The prospect of one dictator wielding brutal power long after Trump had been flushed down the electoral toilet will drive him to attack America's free elections.

It's a certitude.

​

 

Trump completely failed in this regard, and rightly so. The only thing people talked, and talk about, is Trump and his ludicrous idea of delaying the election. For no other reason than his own benefit.

I know that Trump doesn't hold intelligence in high regard but how stupid does he think we really are?

If Trump wants to be the burglar that steals American democracy he has got to make less noise.

This was just a bloody obvious and totally failed attempt to do so.

The Trump-Credibility-Meter has now crashed and burned.

 

maybe you should look at NY and what’s going on there...it’s chaos. It’s real concern.

i suppose if the dems think being concerned about election security gives aid to your enemies...it could be treason to the DNC. but then i have to ask if you don’t care about election security in the united states then maybe you should consider looking in the mirror if you want to see who is the enemy to the united states
