Um... not sure that was what he meant. Putting aside his inability to speak a coherent thought (he’s an Obama supporter - what can you expect?) I’m pretty sue when you put syntax aside he MEANT:
“I came out a couple of times hoping to get in to the polling place. Each time, the long line convinced me to come back later.”
That, I believe, was the intent of his comment.
Thanks for raining on my paranoia. The title sounded much juicier.
