Eh. Pence is in it no matter what, I think. He’s just got his eye on the prize, which is probably to stay loyal to Trump and get a a nice spot at Trump and Breitbart’s new media destination for the alt-righters. He apparently felt he didn’t have a good enough chance at getting back into the governor’s mansion, and he was right-wing talk radio guy in the 90’s. So, seems a good fit.

Yeah, even Pence trying to be reasonable is scary there. And the crowd at the rallies is just…

Yeah, that was pretty lame compared to McCain shutting down racist grandma

This is infuriating. The only people involved in voter fraud and the suppression of voting rights are Republicans. For a brief second Pence had a backbone, then he turned into a putrid worm again just 1 minute later.
I wonder how many Republican politician want to declare war on the deplorables along with Trump. I wonder if it could buy them votes.

cuckservative’ I was waiting for you to hit that level.
There is a reason Trump supporters don’t show to vote and it is the same reason they call a good man like Paul Ryan a pussy-whipped cuckservative, because they aren’t Republicans, never have been and they aren’t conservative. A large number of deplorable/alt-right Trump supporters really haven’t had a party since George Wallace, (a segregationist politician who ran against Nixon). They really should be part of the KKK, but I think they are too lazy to get out of mom’s basement and look for sheets, and way too cowardly to actually burn a cross. It’s way easier to sit home and create memes and cute words like cuckservative, google for blacks, and skype for jews. The fucking humorous thing, is most of these people don’t work and collect fake social security disability checks, while the spew racist shit about white-genocide, and complain about ferneigers on welfare ruining American.

It turns out there are a lot more racists in the country than I thought, frankly I hate being on the same planet as them, but no fucking way I’m staying in the same party with them.
So you are seeing the start of a civil war in the Republican party. Trump supporters have more guns and memes, Business Republican like myself, we have more money. When in doubt follow the money, but we shall see.

Poll watchers are a fucking scary situation. I’ll probably end up carrying to the polls, which I normally wouldn’t do since they tend to be in churches around here. Well, unless it’s at the courthouse, then I couldn’t I guess.
I could easily see some nutjob shooting up a polling place because of “fraud”.
You don’t know what you are talking about, Pence advice is exactly right. Have you been a poll watcher? I have.
You realize that poll watchers is what the Carter Center has been sending to 100 fledging democracy in order provide greater transparency in the electoral process. America needs more not less people involved and if it gets the conspiracy oriented Trump people involve in the process some of them will hopefully being converted.
What the hell is an alleged poll watcher? In the two states I’m familiar with California and Hawaii there are names are given to the precinct captain, it is not like they allow any random person to wander around. Democrats have poll watchers also. The rules about what they can do and not do are pretty strict.
Yeah, the Trump campaign’s poll watcher nonsense is really sleezy, but I think it’s another example of Trump’s floundering ground game, because they have no idea what the fuck they’re doing. Poll watchers are very official things. You don’t just sign up at www.riggedeletion.com and then hang out at any old polling place to scare away blacks or Mexicans hired by the Clinton Foundation. Being a poll watcher requires official paperwork, there are hard limits on how many can be present at any given time, and – perhaps most importantly – poll watchers are limited to the specific place where they’re registered to vote. The average idiot Trump supporter who thinks he’s going to be standing with a cluster of like-minded racists to form an imposing human shield against rigged elections isn’t going to be able to do it anywhere other than where he and his neighbors are already going to vote for Trump.

Solid advice for Trump supporters
Washington State is vote by mail only. There are no polling places on election day. Crazy more states don’t do it.
I wish more states would. I would hope more people would vote if it were easier.
A Trump supporter who thinks he gets to call himself a poll watcher by driving somewhere and hanging out in the parking lot to ask Mexicans or blacks for ID.
And ShivaX, dude, I don’t want to turn this into a gun control thing, but “I’ll probably end up carrying to the polls”? What on earth do you think is going to happen that you feel the need to be armed to vote? Come on.

Come to think of it I wonder if Trump himself has ever bothered to vote. Wouldn’t it be funny if he wasn’t registered?
I am sure that’s true, but that woman is sort of the Trump supporter that I think is salvageable. If she gets off the internet and calls into the GOP HQ and goes through the poll watching training, it will be a good experience for her.
(As tempting as it is to take the 20 million hardcore Trump supporters and drown them in the ocean it would create real pollution problem, so something else has to be done with them.)

Very likely nothing. I don’t generally expect anything to happen at the gas station either, but I tend to carry in most situations where it is legal and not a pain in the ass. In November I’ll probably have a winter coat so it’s fairly painless to do it, even though normally I wouldn’t into a place of worship.
