To me, that is about the most telling thing.
Imagine top Republicans -- joined by Top Democrats! -- coming out and saying "We know the elections are honest. We know this for sure. And just to prove it to you, both parties are going to push for election reform to make it as pure and clean as possible. Transparent. Auditable. You will clearly see that we have been telling the truth: totally honest elections in the US."
But neither party is doing that. Instead, both parties are basically saying: "Shut up. We're not cheating and if you say that again, we'll put you in jail."
Which does not breed confidence.
“Which does not breed confidence.”
I always like droll, tongue-in-cheek comments like that.
