Trump: You have to get out and vote. You wont have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You wont have to vote anymore.. In four years, you wont have to vote again.

(12,242 posts)On Fox News Thursday morning, Donald Trump had a weird instruction for his supporters: they dont have to vote.
My instruction: We dont need the votes, I have so many votes, Trump said on Fox & Friends before going on a rant about how much support he has in Florida.
Trumps message was preceded by talking about how his campaign had lawyers at every poll booth, suggesting that he thinks that he can legally get the election outcome he wants. He said something similar in October, too, when he told supporters at a New Hampshire rally, You dont have to vote, dont worry about voting. The votingwe got plenty of votes.
At that time, Trump also told his supporters to get out there and watch those voters! If hes using the same words now, it could mean that he wants to encourage voter intimidation at the polls. It would go with the new Republican Party platform hes pushed, which makes veiled threats to secure our elections.

(2,357 posts)I've been trying to imagine alternative ways for rethugs to spin this, to blunt it.
He was so clear -- except the Christian or not part, where he gets to have it both ways. But the voting part? The same both times. Undeniable.
