Should We Redo the Midterm Election?
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | April 11, 2019 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: What were, ladies and gentlemen, the two big lies before the midterm elections? Let’s remember. The Drive-By Media pushed two big lies nonstop, constantly, in the weeks leading up to the midterms. One, that Mueller was about to release his report, which would show Trump was guilty of collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice. The second big lie that was repeated as news repeatedly before the midterms was that the migrant caravans coming north and the crisis at the border were part of a giant myth made up by Trump.

There wasn’t any crisis at the border and Mueller was soon to be reveal his report that would name Trump as having colluded with Russia. There’s a part of me that says we need to redo the midterm elections because so much of the news that shaped public opinion was an abject lie. It’s amazing to go back and actually remember how the news of the day was shaped and what everybody thought was gonna happen heading into midterms. Now, of course, there is no collusion. Mueller report’s out and there’s no collusion, no obstruction, and even the New York Times today (it’s only time I’m gonna mention it) acknowledges the crisis at the border, that it’s never been like this.

I think we lost about 2 years of real reform. The Democrats unfairly got the House and that was a setback.

But I’m hoping that enough good stuff comes out that the Republicans win very large majorities in the House and Senate in 2020 and Trump wins in a true landslide. Then Katy bar the door.

The third lie was that Trump was going to take away our pre-existing condition coverage. It was a major theme here in PA.

Yes, let’s have a redo on the election under the following terms. (1) Voter ID laws applied everywhere. (2) Any illegal alien caught trying to vote gets immediate deportation - no hearing, no detention, no bail.

It is undeniable that the Democrats and the media meddled in the 2018 election by several thousands of magnitudes more than Russia ever did buying a few lousy facebook ads...

Meanwhile the Democrats are honing their voter fraud, voter manipulation skills to be ready for the 2020 election.

POTUS TRUMP is entitled to serve (if he wishes to do so) an additional 2 years due to the unfairness of the constant harassment from across the aisle and their ‘assets’, the MFM.
As did prior Presidents, he has an agenda for this country and should be given the time to see it implemented. TWO YEARS of his term were wasted by d’rats.

“LOVE THAT BO’B”? HARDLY!!

The DOJ has called for the entire ACA to be scrapped, which would include coverage for pre-existing conditions.

We are in a political war. Each side will get some wins. The Dems/Media won the midterms. They also have won the fight to instill strong belief in many that Trump is totally corrupt, guilty of multiple crimes, should be impeached and convicted, is a racist and an abuser/rapist of women.

A significant minority of Americans will believe those things for the rest of their lives.

And a significant number of Americans like socialism, faggotry, baby murder, God-bashing, no borders and ugly tattoos.

There’s a part of me that says we need to redo the midterm elections because so much of the news that shaped public opinion was an abject lie.

If we are going to use that standard we need to Toss out Obama's election. Toss out Clinton's election and Toss out Lyndon Johnson's election.

Media lying to the public has been a routine and ongoing manipulation of elections for many decades. I keep wondering why we tolerate it, but people on our side do not seem sufficiently aware of how much this constant media lying keeps flipping elections that would go in more sane directions if the media didn't interfere.

*LightBulb*
All we need to do is get the FBI to start a counter intelligence operation where they send spies into the DNC and then send trolls in from Russia and offer then dirt on Trump, and then we can pin the 2018 election interference and op-research all on them.
Brilliant! Who else thinks this is a great idea... and why does it sound vaguely familiar?

We will redo it in a little under four years.

There was also a FED induced economic slowdown at about that time. People were a bit worried about the economy.

Trump should have an additional two free years tacked on to this term to make up for the two years stolen from him by the goddamned Deep State.

The third lie was that Trump was going to take away our pre-existing condition coverage.

This even though Presdient Trump said loud and clear at every rally that he would protect pre-existing conditions. I don't want to argue the merits of this protection as insurance, but there was never a chance of that coverage being removed.

Next election, we will probably see Dem ads featuring Maxine Waters interrogating the heads of big banks about the huge debt of many college students. The fact that the banks have had nothing to do with this now-federal-government and seven-times-as-big program for the past (about) 8 years will never be seen by the LIV snowflakes.

No, but the 2008 election should be nullified since the candidate wasn’t and still isn’t eligible.

Eyes forward, there is another election coming up and we need to get rid of Pelosi’s majority.
