Trump doesn't like the mail-in ballots but he doesn't like polling places either.

If people cannot vote by mail, how are they supposed to vote? Where are the polling places? It has been reported that there is one polling place in Louisville, KY that is supposed to handle 600,000 voters? If that is not suppression of the vote, then what is?

But, even with all the other suppression tactics, they have to slow down the mail to have a chance at winning.

There should be numerous places to vote. That is what Democrats want. If they can't get those, then they want to be able to have mail-in ballots.

That is what Trump and the Republicans oppose.

Even their own voters they hate. They merely tolerate them as a means to get power, so they can serve the ultrawealthy and be rewarded for it. They resent having to pander to the rubes which make up their base.

Most Repukes would do away with all voting by everyone, even their own voters, if they were sure they could stay in power.

It exposes him as a fraud and a failure, and as a con man, and a corrupt businessman, and now as a loser seeing his numbers spiral downward out of control, so expect him to corrupt poll numbers one way of another trying to con us into believing he's doing much better than he is, or like he tries to do with crowd sizes or his wealth. The truth also undermines his made up propaganda he peddles daily, and he attacks those that speak it, or write it exposing him. Just like what this election will soon show, he's nothing but a lair, and a treasonous and corrupt person who refuses reality exposing his many flaws as a human being.

Of course it would be Biden who would get the "gimme" because he has the short putt.
