President Trump floated the idea of changing the date of the election


Recommended Posts

'He can not postpone the election.' Why not? See what the Radical Left done to President Trump for all this years since 2016 and to all of us 100 mln Trump supporters.

They managed to destroy America and the entire world together with CCP and "Covid - 19", manage to normalize mindless violence as the new liberal paradigm. The left has rioted constantly since the election destroying millions of dollars in property. The left has viciously attacked innocent people for simply supporting the candidate of their choice. The left has decapitated
Trump in effigy. The left has stabbed Trump to death in effigy. Now their abject violence is coming to full fruition. The left is getting the savagery they have incited and demanded. The left has made it crystal clear that they WILL kill anyone even who subscribes to an ideology different than theirs. We have to fight back, our lives depend on it.

America can not be Marxist Communist and Americans do not shoot innocent people or plan attacks on political groups with opposing views. Look at us conservatives, we walk the walk and talk the talk. We may be belligerent sometimes and in your face but we do not carry out violent acts like Democrats do by any stretch of the imagination.

We are the true Patriots because the huge majority of the military is conservative, the huge majority of Christians are conservative and the huge majority of decent citizens in the US are conservative. The narrative by anyone else reeks of anti-American sentiment and dogma.

GITMO is waiting for the democrats involved in the massive coup against Our President DJ Trump!!

Supercut Shows Fox Personalities Saying Trump Will Never Do Something. He Just Did.

They spoke too soon.

When Joe Biden warned in April that President Donald Trump would “try to kick back the election somehow,” the presumptive Democratic nominee’s concern was dismissed by personalities on Fox News and Fox Business as fearmongering and a conspiracy theory.

“What an idea, what a conjuring,” declared Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, a staunch Trump supporter, at the time.

Those same personalities were exposed on Thursday, however, when Trump tweeted this baseless claim about mail-in voter fraud as a reason for possibly delaying the election.

 

The progressive watchdog group Media Matters for America brought the receipts for the TV personalities with this montage:

Republican lawmakers reject Trump suggestion to delay U.S. election

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top U.S. Republican lawmakers on Thursday rejected President Donald Trump's suggestion to delay the Nov. 3 presidential election, saying the contest should be held as planned even as they mostly backed his concerns about mail-in voting.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told television journalists from his home state of Kentucky that the election would go ahead as scheduled, and House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy rejected the suggested delay out of hand.

"Never in the history of the federal elections have we ever not held an election, and we should go forward with our election," McCarthy, a Trump ally, declared at a news conference.

 

McConnell, in an interview with WNKY-TV that was excerpted on Twitter, noted the United States had always held its elections on time, through wars and economic downturns. "We'll cope with whatever the situation is, and have the election on Nov. 3 as already scheduled," McConnell said.

Trump earlier on Thursday raised the idea of delaying the Nov. 3 U.S. elections, which the Constitution does not give him the power to do. Congress has the power to set the timing of elections.

Democrats condemned his words immediately and said they were an attempt to distract from devastating economic news and other crises.

Many fellow Republicans made clear they did not agree with the president, either.

"I think his concerns about mail-in voting are valid, but delaying the election is not the right answer," Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, told reporters.

"I think we can be able to safely vote in person in November," said Graham, who chairs the Judiciary Committee. "I think delaying the election probably wouldn't be a good idea."

Another conservative Republican senator, Ted Cruz, told reporters: "I think election fraud is a serious problem, and it’s vital to stop it. But no, we should not delay the election.”

Senator Marco Rubio, also a conservative Republican, said the election date would not change.

McCarthy said he understood Trump's concern about the integrity of mail-in voting, distinguishing it from absentee voting that he said can be easily traced and confirmed.

"If you just mass-mail ballots out, people have moved, voter rolls are not updated, and that's where you have real problems in elections," McCarthy said. "That's what the president's talking about, he's not talking about absentee voting."

Voting by mail is not new in the United States - nearly one in four voters cast 2016 presidential ballots that way. The decentralized nature of U.S. elections make it very hard to interfere with mailed ballots, experts say.

Republican Senator Mitt Romney also rejected the delay and noted that about 90% of voters in his home state of Utah submit ballots by mail.

"It works extremely well," Romney said. "You can't tamper with paper."

Trump's statement on Twitter comes as the United States is enduring a coronavirus pandemic, nationwide protests against police violence and racism, and the worst U.S. economic contraction since the Great Depression.

Opinion polls show Trump losing ground to and trailing Democratic challenger and former Vice President Joe Biden.

Trump faces rare rebuke from GOP for floating election delay

Associated PressJuly 31, 2020
 
 
 

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump repeatedly tests the Republican Party's limits on issues including race, trade and immigration. Now he has struck a boundary.

GOP officials from New Hampshire to Mississippi to Iowa quickly pushed back against Trump's suggestion on Thursday that it might be necessary to delay the November election — which he cannot do without congressional approval — because of the unfounded threat of voter fraud. They reassured voters that the election would proceed on the constitutionally mandated day as it has for more than two centuries.

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley was especially blunt: “All I can say is, it doesn’t matter what one individual in this country says. We still are a country based on the rule of law, and we want to follow the law.”

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu vowed his state would hold its November elections as scheduled: “End of story.” Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who leads the House Republican Conference, said, "The resistance to this idea among Republicans is overwhelming.”

 

The top Republicans in the House and Senate, who have spent the past four years championing Trump in Congress, also distanced themselves from the notion of a delayed election.

It was a rare rebuke for Trump from his fellow Republicans but one that might not last. There was little conservative opposition to Trump's broader push to raise questions about the legitimacy of the Nov. 3 election, including his suggestion later Thursday that a delayed result because of mail-in ballots would be a sign of fraud.

The simple reality remains that Republicans up and down the ballot this fall need Trump's fervent base on their side to have any chance of winning.

The dynamic has forced Trump-backed politicians to walk a delicate balance as they condemn the president's most erratic behavior and ideas while trying not to upset his die-hard loyalists. At the same time, many Republican leaders are struggling under the weight of health, economic and social crises that the Trump administration has failed to contain.

The government announced Thursday that the U.S. economy plunged by a record-shattering 32.9% annual rate last quarter as the pandemic forces a wave of layoffs that shows no sign of abating.

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, in an interview with The Associated Press, said he feared “a new wave of economic downturn” as he grapples with pressure to institute a second stay-at-home order as coronavirus infections in his state surge. The first-term Republican governor said he would do “everything possible” to avoid another shutdown but could not rule out the possibility.

Reeves encouraged Trump to embrace a reelection message focused on his ability to revive the nation's economy, a familiar suggestion from frustrated Republican officials, though the president has shown little interest in adopting a consistent message.

Reeves said he opposes any plan to change the election date: “I don’t personally think a delay in the election at this point in time is necessary." But he said he remained "100% committed to doing everything possible" to help Trump beat Democratic rival Joe Biden in November.

“I don’t believe that the president is losing significant support from Republicans,” Reeves said.

Indeed, Trump confidant Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University, said he would support Trump's call to delay the election "until things are normal so people can walk in.”

“If it takes a few more months, then so be it,” Falwell said in an interview, raising the prospect of limiting the president's powers if the delay extends beyond his first term.

There have been a handful of moments that strained the GOP's allegiance to Trump since he emerged as his party's unlikely presidential nominee four years ago, yet his party has increasingly acquiesced to his turbulent leadership as his presidency progressed.

Just weeks before the 2016 election, several elected officials, including then-House Speaker Paul Ryan, publicly turned their back on Trump after he was caught admitting sexual predatory behavior in an “Access Hollywood” video. Less than a year later, the Republican National Committee rebuked the president after he claimed there were “very fine people” on both sides of a deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. And Republican leaders briefly raised concerns last year when Trump was caught pressuring Ukrainian leaders to investigate Biden — an episode that would ultimately lead to his impeachment.

There have been a series of lower-profile flashpoints over the last four years that prompted modest concerns from Republicans that were quickly forgotten, and the latest debate over the election date may soon fall into that category.

Trump cannot change the election date without the approval of Congress, and policymakers in both parties made clear they would oppose such a move. Trump's ultimate goal, however, may have less to do with the election date than undermining the results of the election if he loses.

Current polls suggest that Trump is trailing Biden by a significant margin in several swing states.

The Republican president did not deny that he was trying to cast doubt about the election results when asked directly during Thursday's press briefing. Instead, he repeatedly cited the prospect of voter fraud, which is virtually nonexistent in U.S. politics.

“I don’t want to delay. I want to have the election. But I also don’t want to wait for three months and then find out that the ballots are all missing, and the election doesn’t mean anything,” Trump said, warning of the possibility of “a crooked election.”

Back in New Hampshire, a swing state where Trump hosted a virtual event Thursday night, Sununu said the president's comments about the election date would not affect his continued support for Trump's reelection.

“Look, the president says things and tweets things all the time,” the governor said. “I don’t know what his thought process is there. I can only speak for New Hampshire, and we have a great system.”
