Oh, so fraud during a primary is okay, but during the general it's not okay?

Good grief you are ridiculous, there was no fraud during the primary. Hillary won, Bernie lost. Get over it. I voted for and donated to Bernie but I can admit that he lost. It's a basic fact.

I hate Trump but I admit he won the primary fair and square.

Sure about that?

Bernie lost every single major population state except Michigan. California was hardly an abnormality. It was the norm. He just didn't appeal to a broad enough spectrum of people.

What makes you think there will be a lot of voter fraud? From the court ruling: "the State has failed to identify even a single individual who has ever been charged with committing in-person voter fraud in North Carolina."

Granted, the law had some other provisions to prevent early voting, but we need ID for many things these days. Just had a store ask me for ID yesterday even though I used my credit card to buy something that was less than $10, but yet asking voters to prove they are who they claim to be is putting a strain on minority communities.
Explain to me how someone can commit voter fraud at the polls and why that person would care enough to commit a federal crime when most people don't even give a rat's behind.

By the way, I support voter ID laws as long as they don't make it difficult for certain people to obtain one. I really don't know anyone who doesn't have some kind of photo ID, but the law in NC was passed specifically to target poor Black communities. IIRC, the NC voter ID law also prevented students from using school IDs. Since young people & first time voters are more likely to vote Democrat...well, it's a little obvious.

We've heard this before. It's been eight years, I'm certain that Obama has already destroyed the republic so completely as predicted that there is really nothing even left fighting for. Or was there and continue to be just a wee bit of hyperbole going on here?

He took all the guns away, right?

Exactly! He won small states and caucuses. Anyway, the way a state votes isn't determined by the DNC or RNC.

States by Population .... Out of the top 12, I can only find one that Bernie Sanders won.

Calif
Texas
New York
Florida
Illinois
Pennsylvania
Ohio
Georgia
Michigan
North Carolina
New Jersey
Virginia

Didn't watch it. Okay, it's not easy to accept the fact that your vote is not secure like we've been taught since elementary school.

In the era of voter fraud in some places, I can understand Trump's frustration. On the other hand, while so many don't like Hillary, I just don't think the Democrats are going to be in full force with their scheming and plotting like they were in 2012.

That said, I think there are still a lot of dissatisfied and frustrated Americans who will show up at the polls and vote for Trump. Why? Because people are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
