“IS IT TRUE”
Can you print a copy of both the Democratic and Republican primary ballot? I’m independent and have voted in both at one time or another. If their are no contested races I’ll stay safe at home. I’ve never missed voting in 50 years. Now we have two idiots running for President and I won’t vote for either one. Bring on a strong independent candidate.
If this were to take place it would guarantee Trump the win. Just pick the better of the two.
I agree.
Why ANYONE would vote for a guy who’s track record is THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE all Americans living right now ever remember?
Trump has failed America. Find me a dog. I’ll vote for the dog before I vote for Trump.
We’re you aware that President Trump had to shut down the economy due to covid 19 ?
You must be at least 70 years old and have been lucky to reach such advanced years if you can’t make a simple decision on who to vote for, here’s some help. You will have 2 choices, one wants to take away your right to defend yourself, wants to open the borders, promotes killing babies, wants to limit your first amendment, seeks a godless, classless society and is basically a communist. The other is Donald Trump, an American, who wants to make America great and defends your constitutional rights, close our borders and see that other nations do not take advantage of us. I think I’m starting to see why so many old people and I’m old seem to be prone to getting this virus, except for the ones in nursing homes, it appears to defective decision making.
