Donald Trump, a ‘Rigged’ Election and the Politics of Race (the leftist agenda continues)
New York Times ^ | AUG. 21, 2016 | By MAGGIE HABERMAN and MATT FLEGENHEIMER

As he seeks to revive his embattled candidacy, Donald J. Trump has seized on a new argument to rally his supporters and to explain away a possible defeat in November: that Democrats are preparing to exploit weak voter identification laws to win a “stolen election” through fraudulent voting.

The claim has spurred outrage among Democrats, and has alarmed some Republicans who worry his tactics will backfire, angering minority voters and threatening the party’s chances in close races further down the ballot.

Since 2010, Republican governors and Republican-held state legislatures have fought for stricter voter identification laws, which Democrats argue are intended to hinder turnout by the poorest voters — many of them black and Hispanic — who tend to vote Democratic.

The New York Times is the agenda-setting leftist media outlet of them all.

Where do they find these people?

“As he seeks to revive his embattled candidacy.” That is in the first sentence and that says it all. A false premise from the start sets the tone for this worthless piece of drivel. The sooner this piece of rabid leftist crap goes away, the better this country will be.

Let us hope this time next year they will have to search diligently to find these people, wherever it was they found them in the first place.

The left’s desperation is becoming apparent now. I know this election is far from being in the bag for Trump with what we know will be massive vote fraud from Hillary, but it’s good to see the MSM and the left in the same state of panic our side has been in the last eight years.

Next stop for these two brilliant writers is the Paluka Gazette with a reading audience of 300 tops. Most of us here can write and can deal with reality better than these two supposedly trained “journalists”.

“As he seeks to revive his embattled candidacy”

Remember when we used to look down on Pravda?

They were an easy target for our scorn.

By the smirk on her face and the weak look on his, if i didn’t know better, I’d say he just found out she’s sleeping around on him and is too weak to do anything about it. /ba-dum t’ssssh>

What is it with the NYT and their multiple bylines?

Couldn’t Maggie write this on her own? She needed a man to help her with all of the complicated political terminology?

He can perhaps be excused his very boyish haircut.

He graduated college in 2011.
