Tucker Carlson: Susan Rice New Frontrunner For Biden VP Pick, And She Is ‘A Threat’
https://thepoliticalinsider.com/tuc...265680b20e543dc2a6473c7b9fa19141&source=TPICI

Given Rice's ties to Hillary, she would appear to be too risky for Biden. Picking someone who won't be a lightning rod for criticism or linking to Hillary should be his criteria #1.

Joe Biden's dementia is getting interesting.
He says he took a cognitive test, then he says he didn't.
Lying or just plain senile, it doesn't matter - the cat's out of the bag - the dems are going to nominate an artichoke (THAT'S NOT EVEN SHOWING HIS CONFUSED FACE AT HIS OWN CONVENTION), and sincerely want you to vote for it to lead our country 😂😂😂

The similar margins, however, do not necessarily mean that this year’s election will play out like it did in 2016.

Trump Says You Can Vote by Mail in Florida After Insisting You Shouldn’t Do That in Any State Ever


President Trump has been adamant that mail-in voting is corrupt. Then he started to lose in Florida

Donald Trump has relished making mail-in voting a boogeyman during the coronavirus pandemic, denouncing the method routinely as part of his longstanding and evidence-free crusade over alleged voter fraud.
But that was before he realized how much Republican voters had started to listen to him. Now, with his re-election chances on line, the president is embracing the practice in the crucial swing state of Florida.

Within the senior ranks of Team Trump’s political and field operations, there have been significant concerns for weeks that the president and GOP’s crusade against voting by mail could actually backfire and result in a depression of absentee ballots cast for Trump come Election Day, according to three people familiar with the matter.

However, all of these sources said that this growing concern has not convinced top advisers in the president’s vast re-election machine to actually stop this election’s legal, rhetorical, and advertising war—backed by tens of millions of dollars on the right—on mail-in voting during the pandemic. Instead, it has merely intensified their internal urgency to find new, broader ways to create a distinction between absentee and mail-in voting, even though functionally they are the same thing. Key to their argument, they say, is the increase in volume would lead to delays creating a national version of the bungled New York City election.

Two of the sources said they have discussed the issue about potential blowback from an anti-mail-in-voting push with President Trump over the past couple weeks, and have talked to him about how the Republican Party’s victories in critical states in the 2020 election could even come down to robust absentee-ballot operations. They encouraged Trump to speak clearly about what they see as the differences between Democratic efforts to expand mail-in voting during the coronavirus crisis, and longstanding systems of absentee voting.

But on Tuesday the message started to change slightly.
Following an interview with Axios on HBO aired Monday, during which the president warned that “lots of things can happen” regarding mail-in voting, if the winner isn’t determined by the end of Election Day, Trump tweeted, “Whether you call it Vote by Mail or Absentee Voting, in Florida the election system is Safe and Secure, Tried and True,” insisting that “Florida’s Voting system has been cleaned up (we defeated Democrats attempts at change), so in Florida I encourage all to request a Ballot & Vote by Mail!”

That Twitter missive was widely seen by election experts, political operatives, and high-ranking officials in Trumpworld as an all-but transparent, if sloppy, attempt to assuage worries that his own messaging could help cost him must-win electoral territory. There are fewer than 100 days left in his general-election battle against his presumptive 2020 Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.

The sentiment among election watchers was that someone in the Trump orbit had tried to get the president to see common sense: that attacking mail-in voting could be his undoing in a state that he needs to win to return to the White House.

“Presumably the Republican party got to him and explained to him that lots of Republicans vote by mail, particularly older Republicans,” said Richard Briffault, a professor at Columbia Law School specializing in election law.

Michael McDonald, an elections expert at the University of Florida, noted that vote-by-mail figures from the state’s division of elections showed Democrats with a nearly 600,000 lead in ballot requests on their GOP counterparts as of Tuesday.

“I think that the Trump campaign realizes that the president's rhetoric may be costing them the election,” McDonald said.

Vote by mail is voter-fraud... except in states Trump could lose if voter can't vote by mail...

How about yours? Glad to see you back Dick.

Fact check: Trump ad edits out microphone and trees from Biden photo to make him seem alone in basement

A new ad from President Donald Trump's campaign deceptively alters a photo of former Vice President Joe Biden campaigning outdoors in Iowa to make it seem as if Biden is "hiding" in his Delaware basement.
The ad also uses two other images in misleading ways: one of Biden at an Iowa house party and one of Biden praying at a Delaware church.
Biden has certainly campaigned cautiously amid the coronavirus pandemic, leading Trump in the polls even as he has limited his public appearances. Contrary to Trump's repeated assertions, though, Biden has made numerous campaign trips outside his Delaware home.


The forehead photo
After the ad's narrator claims Biden is "alone" and "hiding" in the basement, the ad shows a photo of Biden, in sunglasses, looking down and touching his forehead in what appears to be an empty room.
Facts First: This image was edited in two important ways. The real photo, taken by Mark Peterson, shows Biden holding a microphone at an outdoor town hall event at a nature preserve in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in September 2019, during the Democratic primary. The microphone is gone in the ad's version of the photo. So are the trees in the background of the shot, which the ad replaces with an indoor setting more suggestive of a basement.

The floor photo
As the words "alone" and "hiding" flash on screen, the ad shows Biden sitting on a floor with an empty chair in the background.
Facts First: Biden was not alone or at his Delaware home. Rather, this photo is from a party Biden attended in December 2019 at the home of Coralville, Iowa, Mayor John Lundell to watch the Holiday Bowl college football game. There were a bunch of other people in the room -- both party guests and journalists, including CNN reporter Sarah Mucha.

The church photo
The ad concludes with the narrator attacking Biden for his policy record and saying he "never will" have answers to tough questions. It shows Biden looking downward, wearing a face mask, with his hands clasped as if feeling defeated.
Facts First: As Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel noted, this photo is of Biden praying at an African Methodist Episcopal church in Delaware on June 1 following the death of George Floyd.
It's common practice for attack ads to make use of downcast photos of political opponents, but it's notable that the Trump campaign is trying to make Biden look bad with a photo of him in a solemn religious moment.

Trump has no morals, no dignity, no honor, no values, no respect for anyone but himself and will stop at nothing to win the election.

The rally's motto was : It's time to take our country back from radical leftist.
So, Republicans control the White House, the Senate, most of the Governors' seats, the Supreme Court but still the organiser of the rally think Republicans have to take America back from radical leftist ?

Trump campaign launches immediate attack on Kamala Harris after Biden names her as VP

“The addresses that we used were provided by the voters when they registered. If they no longer reside at the address they provided to us, then we would expect that mail to be returned to us, which is what happened.”

Democrats are not going to return squat. They're COUNTING on having as many extra votes as they can possibly get their hands on. That IS what the Mail In Voting push is all about.

The idea that somehow, they just had the wrong address is disturbing. What is even more disturbing is that countless of other mail in ballots could have also been sent to the wrong address, but people accepted them as their own.

There would be no way of accounting for how many ballots could illegally be cast by someone pretending to be someone else.

At this pace, for starters, everyone in Sanctuaryfornia including ALL the illegals, is going to get to vote.

Here where I live we are unfortunately overflowing with illegals. I have no doubt that any of them who got a Mail In Vote Ballot by mistake and KNEW what it was ... they'd use it to vote.
