Rick Wilson cracks me up. I disagree with him on so many things, but he's fun to listen to and read commentary from.

Yeah the story about found ballots has been posted about a zillion times.

I just ask why Trump did a mail in ballot if he doesn't trust it or want them to do it.  I don't get many answers about that.

Ask they why Trump votes by mail. Those answers will be fun.

That's cuz he is a Republican.

If the R-Party ever nominates a normal person for president again, expect the never-Trumpers to back him/her.

Yeah, the GOP won the mail-in ballot fight in Wisconsin and still got their asses handed to them.

I don't think they will; what the Republican party needs to is embrace pure capitalism( not corporate capitalism), free trade, be more opened minded when it comes to immigration, criminal justice reform(Trump's actually done a decent job on this), and most importantly end the drug war. Basically they need to head in a more libertarian direction then conservative.

They really showed their hand on that one, didn't they?

I mean at least they're finally galvanizing the people who don't typically vote into voting.
