Cruz, Cornyn, Abbott reject Trump idea to delay the election, as Democrats see a brewing autocracy

Cornyn, who is facing Democrat MJ Hegar in his bid for a fourth term, played down the president’s trial balloon as mischievousness “so all you guys in the press, your heads will explode.”

Cruz rejected the idea. “Election fraud is a serious problem. We need to fight it and stop it,” he said. “But no, the election should not be delayed.”

Abbott’s spokesman, John Wittman, sidestepped whether Trump’s idea is a good one but said: “Texas has adopted procedures and guidelines to ensure safe and fair elections,

Trump did a rope-a-dope, but Biden was asleep. These other guys were supposed to wait for Biden to wake up and have his chance at a gaffe.

Obviously Trump wasn’t serious about delaying the election. What he was trying to do was bring attention to the crap going on regarding the mail-in voting scheme. Worked out well.

I suspect that Cruz’s problem is that he can’t comprehend Trump’s strategy, something he displayed earlier this week when he whined about Trump’s tweets (no different than my FDR-Democrat parents).

Rush said that Trump is playing with them again. He said this, to trigger the left and to one-up them on the fraudulent mail-in voting idea. If voting is so hazardous due to the virus, he is saying, then we will just postpone the election. He doesn’t mean a word of it. Cruz and the rest are being dolts. They still don’t get Trump and his strategies.

It was a trolling question.

A mail in election spells the end of Republican party and the Republic.

POTUS is forcing his opponents to discuss the potential for voter fraud regarding mail-in ballots (i.e. You don’t want me to delay the election? Then what plans do you have to address the rampant voter fraud that is almost guaranteed with mail-in balloting?). His enemies didn’t want to talk about it before, so now he’s forcing them to. Troller in Chief.

“Texas has adopted procedures and guidelines to ensure safe and fair elections

What has caused a lot of distress in America for decades has been this sort of talk by politicians.

There is no safe and fair election coming this year! What nonsense.

He should say the Easter Bunny will bring candy right on time and Santa will not be a minute late in making his rounds to all the good boys and girls.

And Dems, Black Panthers militias, BLM and Antifa will allow safe and voter friendly polling places that will look like a Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post Cover.

And the two sides can shake hands before the election and say "To my noble adversary, may the best person win. Win or lose we both respect our rights as Americans. Agreed." Don't we wish!

And no need to worry about this, the last election in American history, which will ensure total Marxist rule and suppression of the American people for 1,000 years. Unless Trump wins.

Two good books:
