But elections aren't "rigged" right?

Can't just let the people choose who they want, right? We have to put our thumb on the scale...to "help out."

I don't know Florida registration rules, but this also may be part of the reason why Florida Democrats just cancelled their primary, so Democrats would be free to vote in the Republican primary.

LOL! They’re truly desperate. They know they can’t beat Trump in a general election. The RINOs know they can’t beat Trump in the Republican primary. So now Democrats and Assistant Democrats are fantasizing about teaming up against Trump in the Republican primaries.

This is not possible of course. Too many states have closed primaries, doo many Democrats won’t bother switching registration, etc etc

The problem with that scenario is in heavy Democrat areas the primary is basically the election. You would have to forgo voting for local or state office Democrats.

"Stopping Trump" I am SO sick of reading those two words, it's endless, every day I see it "Stop Trump, Stop Trump, Stop Trump" Stop Trump in favor of WHAT? Joe Biden?

I read yesterday Biden is closing more coal plants, so think of the logic here: He wants everyone to drive electic vehicles at the same time he is reducing production of electricity. Maybe we should all ride around in ponies.

Wow Nikki Haley the military shill who never saw a war she didn’t love. The Neocons, neocon is someone you feel safer with than the guy who kept America out of war for four years.

How do they write this stuff. Trump is the safe President. He is the guy who let them investigate because he is that clean. He is the one who kept us out of foreign wars. He is the man America wants. You of course will never get Haley. Because Trump voters would never vote for her in the general. But they probably already know that.

Everyone should be able to vote in all the primaries. This two party bs has got to go.

Just dump the whole primary election system. Have one election for president and let the people choose. Simlistic, yes. But... KISS.

Here’s a wild way for Democrats to try to stop Trump: Vote in Republican primaries

Where is the CBS News article on the “Wild Way” for Republicans to stop Biden?

So, we know who our nominee is going to be, can I use my vote to vote for a Democrat in the primary? Actually I live in NH and Biden won’t be on the ballot. How about RFK? isn’t turnabout fair play?

Is this not a variation of something that Rush suggested years ago to stop Hillary?

How does this moron think Georgia and South Carolina control things?

The media was interviewing Democrats that voted for Kemp and Raffensberger because they feared Perdue and Hice were too close to Pres Trump

Well, yes. That could work if the Democrats want to risk losing primary votes in the Democrat Primary for Joe Biden. He will be getting a contender facing him for the Democrat Nominee, and there might just be enough Democrats out there who would vote for the alternate Democrat and actually vote in the primary.

They just thought of this? Hardly. The Dems have been crossing over in every state that has an open primary.

That’s called cheating but we all know the rats have no problem with cheating, lying, and stealing. In other words they are self-described dishonest scumbags.

I’d think it more likely that Democrats would cross party lines and vote FOR Trump. He’s their dream candidate.

That’s how Claire McCaskill became the Democrat nominee for governor of Missouri. Even though she lost, it set her up to be the nominee and winner of a Missouri US Senate seat.

It happened because a wave of Republican voters crossed over to vote against Bob Holden in the Democrat primary. Holden would never have won the general election so it was a useless gesture with the unintended consequence of elevating McCaskill to the national stage.

In order to effectively challenge Trump, they would have to get behind one candidate. Not likely. Because once it’s known that a GOP candidate has substantial democrat support, they will lose any remaining support among republicans.

I bet Troy Denning can’t elaborate on why President Trump is so dangerous. Dangerous to whom? Perhaps the Obamanoids who are intent on taking this country down...

A so-called journalistic news agency, telling folks how to stop a particular candidate.

Let that settle in.
