Bum Ditch.

Trump not only cares about fair and honest elections, he even cares about fair and honest horse races.

Klow-bitcher needs to go beat the staff member who put her up to this.

There is obviously something in the water of Minnesota, the state that gave us a pro wrestler as a governor, an imbecile comedian-groper as a senator, a murderous Somali policeman, and now this crazy-as-a-loon woman. I do not think I will be traveling to that blighted state any time soon. Don’t want to catch whatever it is that they’ve got!

Of course the phrase “securing America’s elections” means fixing them so Democrats never lose.

Klobuchar strikes me as the Democrat candidate with virtually little or no presidential presence whatsoever ......a big, big nothing.

Klobuchar is a U S Senator she can introduce legislation. Why hasn’t she?

How does Trump put up with this endless barrage of groundless accusations?

Funny. Hearing the RATS talk about honest/fair elections. They are that way ONLY when the RATS win.

I am far more concerned with domestic interference: voting in multiple districts, dead people voting, seniors incapable of making a valid decision “sending their absentee ballots”, bussed around voters, non-citizens voting, etc. etc.

Klobuchar is either ignorant of the principles underlying our Constitutional form of government or she deliberately misrepresents it in order to promote the Progressive ideology.

Perhaps the most thorough, well-founded and complete explanation of how the Framers of America's Constitution of the United States of America "constituted" a form of self-government which was--in the words of Benjamin Franklin, "A Republic. . . if you can keep it. . . . " can be found in John Quincy Adams's "Jubilee" Address, delivered, by invitation of the New York Historical Society, in New York City in April 1839. That Jubilee Address magnificently explained the reasons for the Framers' choice of republic over that of a democracy.

If you want to have handy for constitutionally-illiterate Progressives who may call this a "democracy," then you want to read that Address.

Today, in 2019, when confronted with a decision between individual freedom and slavery, otherwise known as liberty and tyranny, Americans who prefer freedom must be armed with ideas and principles which are "self-evident" and plain. Otherwise, they cannot fend off the onslaught of the "counterfeit ideas" of Progressive ideologues.

When America's Founders and Framers of their Constitution wanted to convince ordinary farmers and citizens of the merits of a written "People's" Constitution to limit the powers of those to whom they entrust the powers of government, they published and circulated 85 essays, known as THE FEDERALIST.

It's time for citizens, once again, to examine those strong and clear words of Madison Hamilton, and Jay. They are just as clear for today's audience as they were then. Circulate the following excerpts to your friends. Even the least politically savvy will "get" Madison's meaning, especially in light of the power grab now going on in Washington. After all, THE FEDERALIST was the Framers' authoritative explanation of their Constitution, and directed by the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia in 1825 to be used as the text for its law school in its studies of "the general principles of liberty and the rights of man," and said by Jefferson to "constitute 'the general opinion of those who framed, and of those who accepted the Constitution of the U.S., on questions as to its genuine meaning.'":

"The house of representatives... can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interest, and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788

"The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788

"Such will be the relation between the House of Representatives and their constituents. Duty gratitude, interest, ambition itself, are the cords by which they will be bound to fidelity and sympathy with the great mass of the people." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788

"If it be asked what is to restrain the House of Representatives from making legal discriminations in favor of themselves and a particular class of the society? I answer, the genius of the whole system, the nature of just and constitutional laws, and above all the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America, a spirit which nourishes freedom, and in return is nourished by it." - Federalist Papers, No. 57, February 19, 1788

"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." - Federalist Papers, No. 58, 1788

"This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure." - Federalist Papers, No. 58, 1788

"The propensity of all single and numerous assemblies (is) to yield to the impulse of sudden and violent passions, and to be seduced by factious leaders into intemperate and pernicious resolutions." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788

"Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue; or in any manner affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change and can trace its consequences; a harvest reared not by themselves but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow citizens. This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the few not for the many." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788

Note particularly the following words of wisdom from Federalist No. 63, and take heart. You are doing what you were meant to do when you speak out on intrusions on your liberty.  According to Madison:

"As the cool and deliberate sense of the community ought, in all governments, and actually will, in all free governments, ultimately prevail over the views of its rulers; so there are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be the most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career, and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice, and truth can regain their authority over the public mind?" - Federalist Papers, No. 63, 1788

Trump should immediately respond to this with calls to enhance voter security including VOTER ID

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar (MN) discussed election security with Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union." According to Klobuchar, President Donald Trump is not serious about protecting future elections from foreign interference.

Is she completely unaware, then, of how Trump made it one of his initial priorities to start taking action against vote fraud, and blue states immediately dug in their heels and refused to cooperate with any attempt to get an idea of how large the vote fraud problem is? And is she unaware of how blue states give ID cards/driver licenses to illegal aliens, and do not check that they are US citizens when allowing them to register to vote?

From where I sit, it looks to me like not only is there rampant foreign interference in elections, but that Democrats are doing everything they can to increase the foreign influence.

"Well, meddling is what I do when I call my daughter on a Saturday night. This was actually an invasion of our democracy, okay?"

Said by a member of the party that says tens of thousands of people coming into our country illegally is not an invasion.

Using the same logic these liberal Democrats use shouldn't we call any Russian who actually tried to change our election results an undocumented campaign worker?

He really doesn’t. He’s done little to nothing to make sure the democrats do not cheat. He could have put eunuch Mike Pence in charge of it, but so far, nothing—and it’s too late. They took California, the senate seats in AZ and in states like PA and NJ...no one fought to hold the mooselimb enemy agents accountable (they should not have been on the ballot for multiple reasons)...Tom Fitton has done more to ensure we do not get screwed again. But unfortunately, he has little pull. And something tells me they will pull out all the stops in 2020, while our weakcu-t republican’t loser leadership will once again, fail us.

SNow Princess needs to understand Obama was the one failing to secure the last election. As for the President, he should one up her by asking if she would agree that a census question asking about citizenship is a matter of National Security. Is it possible that illegal aliens might not have our National interest at heart?

Home run for Trump.
