But yet there has to be fraud because a Republican lost. A lot of this happened in 2018 when Senator Kirsten Sinema beat Matha McSally for the Sen. Jeff Flake seat. The turnout of mail-in ballots were reversed but Republicans want to stop the count so Martha could win. Now I hear the state is looking to limit mail-in ballots. Maybe I need to lawyer up based on 14th ammendment... I've done it since 2014 and it is easier than finding out where exactly I need to go for a polling location since not all are used in each election.

Republicans dare not go there. We all know where any claim like that goes and it is the backfire effect and they'll blame antifa.

I wouldn't vote for Trump or any lackey who ever kissed his ring.

I make up my mind in the voting booth.

Under Obama unemployment fell from 9.9 to 4.7. Trump claimed the numbers were wrong.

Trump inherited a substantially improving economy in 2017 and built on that momentum. Using the same methodologies as the Obama Admin, unemployment declined from 4.7 to 3.5 in 2019. Then came Covid.

I wanted to see how the Trump Admin was going to oversee the “ V- shaped recovery” as he projected.

Nope. Voted for him in 2016, sat out in 2020 but endorsed him; I learned my lesson. He doesn't deserve another chance. He won't learn from his mistakes and he'll just appoint personnel that undermines his "agenda".

I'll likely sit out or vote 3rd party. Now if things get REAL bad and if the GOP somehow gets someone more competent who can embody real populism against their own will, I'll consider it.

I probably vote for DeSantis over Trump at this point, but I don't believe they would be running against each other.

There is no chance of Trump running as an independent candidate, he already said.
I knew that before he said it anyway, because its impossible for an independent candidate to win, and we know Trump is here to win.

I agree with you 100% about Romney. But I had to vote for him as it was either him or Obama. Not voting was never an option for me. Neither was voting for a third party candidate. However Romney was my last choice in the Republican primary. I voted for Rick Perry. I'd even vote for Kasich who I also can't stand if it came down to that.

It's just that I despise and loathe the Democrat Party so much so that I'd vote for a cold festering lump of **** over any one of them.

The problem I have with a third party candidate winning is that you could have someone elected that only 34% supported while 66% would be opposed to if the 66% were split evenly.

Romney ran as a conservative. We didn’t know he was what he is. Same thing with governor Larry hogan in my former state of Maryland. I will never vote for another Democrat again, but I also won’t vote for traitors like Romney and Hogan.
