Politics 23% of Republicans Think GOP Should Nominate Someone Other Than Trump

A couple of points:

1. Vote by mail is controlled by the individual election laws of the 50 states, plus DC and US territories. It’s not likely there will be a uniform application throughout the country.

2. The recent special election for the congressional seat in the California 25th District was conducted almost entirely by mail. The Republican won by 12 points. Some folks believe that vote by mail favors Republicans because it requires planning to do it and getting it in the mail by a certain date, something that may be harder for poorer folks to do.

 

This happens alot. often with little tangible connections other than party affilation.

 

There have been new proposals put forth by congress and with this pandemic crisis it seems the most logical way to go so it's still yet to be determined how this vote will transpire. I fear what this country is going to look like in November and vote by mail seems to be the most logical way to do it despite trumps whining about an unproven voter fraud conspiracy with vote by mail. Time will tell, but it will also keep the red states from closing or moving polling stations in blue districts like they have done in the past. By the way, has the 25th district been red leaning or blue leaning in the past? I know the last election was very close and the fact that the sitting rep had to resign over sexual allegations I would think would also make big help for the republican candidate. Kind of like how Jones won in Alabama over the notorious Roy Moore in a deep red state of Alabama. Also, trump fears vote by mail so not so sure about how many republicans think vote by mail really help them that much. Maybe we will find out.

 

Yeah, I got into a rather heated discussion (imagine that) 2-3 days ago concerning that very issue. IMO, I believe voting, aside from being a right given to us, is also our civic duty. Aside from voting for POTUS in November, there are also other positions up for bid at the ballot box.

 

“In other news, 77% of Republicans think things are going swimmingly and remain devoted to Mr Trump”

 

“The forum” and “civil discussion” have drifted into oxymoron territory since late 2016.......

 

Well, yeah, at least until you questioned my reading comprehension skills...hey, no problem...and you weren't the only one in the convo.

 

It was me. I caused the issues.
I tried to correct the previous miss quote.
Then it blew up from there., no need rehashing.
My error for trying to correct anything.
I wont try to correct this newest missquote either.

 

Actually it was me who questioned your reading skills. I had made what I personally felt was a clear and unambiguous statement (IMHO). Your response not only missed my point, but was (again IMHO) rather rude. So I returned fire. Welcome to another day at SC2. I do make an effort to be polite and pleasant, but like most humans I sometimes fail.

 

I just learned a new trick.

 

The lyrics need some work, but I think you have the potential makings of a pretty good Country/Western song here.

 

Oh man you had me until you went all twangy on me. lol

I was thinking some industrial metal with a self hating front man in all black.
