Perhaps I am a Pollyanna, but all Republicans are good at is lying and cheating. I will never believe that 7 million Americans actually voted for tfg. If that had been the case, the pubes would have cheated enough more votes to give him the win. What makes sense is that they were able to cheat up to a total of 7 million and that was not enough. I have absolutely no idea how many real Trump voters there are, but I tend to see that most of those who say they are are probably not really voters. Just like they are not football players or Olympians. They watch the action and offer their critique. In other words, they are damn f...ing lazy.
