Sore Loser Already

Trump has filed a lawsuit over some voters in Nevada being able to cast their ballots beyond the close of the polls. Of course the voting laws allow those in line at poll closing to cast their ballots for however long it takes. But that does not stop him from whining.

So you're OK with voter suppression as long as it's Trump voters being suppressed?

It's Trump trying to suppress voters by claiming that those in line before the polls close shouldn't be able to vote.

Yep, that and his track record of seriously trying to trash anybody or anything that doesn't kiss his ass.

Maybe Trump intellectually saw it as a matter of principle. You know, early voters shouldn't be allowed to vote late.

You have thus distinguished yourself from Trump. He would never own up to a mistake.

But the folks who observe politics and find Hillary to be the best available choice recognize that a lot of factors make this a tough election - even though it shouldn't be.
