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.”

States differ in how they conduct elections. But with the
situation at hand they can still have in person voting by
scheduling the voting over a period of days. Early voting
in some places is schedule in advance for several days. I
know of churches that used to have Sunday service, a dinner
at church and then caravan to the early voting site to vote.
Sunday was a big turnout day.

A probable Canadian, Charlie Brown Cornhead, and Karen Abbott all showed their hands. ALL had minor TDS reactions.
Noted.

He’s not nearly as clever as he thinks he is.
His judgement can also be somewhat suspect.

Ted’s been suspect since the commies rioted in Chicago in 2016.

Not probable, he has a Canadian birth certificate and had Canadian citizenship until he renounced it 2015 in preparation to try to usurp the office of President.

Trump played this well. He locked in the November 3 date for the election (and with the admonition that a winner be declared “before the night is over”) before the Dems could find a lame excuse to delay it themselves.

Is Dallas News like the CNN of Texas?

The Dallas Boring Snooze was the CNN of Texas long before CNN became the CNN of the airwaves. Pathetic rag.

This is why the President will win re-election.

He can drive the news cycle any time he wants, on any topic he wants, and the stupid mass media will jump to chase the squirrel.

Too funny—they _never_ learn!

Did anyone here read this article? Doesn’t match the headline, IMO. Typical lefty media.
