Rep. Swalwell hits Trump over delaying election: "you can't default..you can't file an extension..."




Rep. Eric Swalwell
@RepSwalwell

This isn’t a court case that you’re going to lose — you can’t continue it. It’s not a loan you’re behind on — you can’t default. And these aren’t taxes you owe — you can’t file an extension. It’s an election, and the certainty of it happening is like the sun setting in the west.

Donald J. Trump

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

Even if he were to somehow delay it, the 20th Amendment says Pres starts a new term on 1/20. TheBlackAdder Jul 2020 #4

I'd only add, the election is not a hooker you can pay off or a contractor you can stiff.

Even if it's delayed, it could only be for a couple of months. He'd be out of office on 1/20/21, regardless.

there will be a big court case that Trump loses. Hopefully this results in Trump spending the rest of his life in prison.
