Now the 4chan dem media complex has backed itself into a corner where it will have to defend voter fraud.
snip-
If Trump’s media enemies like CNN once again ignore the March for Life, they will discredit themselves. It is very clear to me that President Trump intends to destroy the credibility of his media enemies. He realistically understands that they are implacable enemies seeking his impeachment and removal from office (on grounds yet to be ginned up) or, as a fallback, defeat for re-election and a midterm election disaster for the GOP. Weakening the credibility of the media is a continuing goal of his administration.
That is the context in which his multiple remarks concerning illegal votes has to be understood. I think President Trump knew that if he made remarks about illegal voting, the media would spring to action and present the opposite position and would characterize his thinking as a lie. The problem with this is that a lack of evidence is not proof for the contrary position. We simply do not know how much vote fraud there is because nobody takes the trouble to investigate how much there is. When a voter presents himself at the polls or requests an absentee ballot, there is no automatic search to discover if the person is a legitimate voter. The very act of asking for voter ID is considered discriminatory by many, including some in the courts.
California has adopted a system for granting voter registration to people receiving drivers’ licenses. If the applicants don’t specify illegal alien status at the time, they receive a license that entitles them to register and vote. Even if they do specify that they are here illegally, they still get a license where the distinction is hard to see.
Illegal aliens aside, there is the question of people voting under the name of other people, especially the dead who have not been purged from voting rolls.
John Fund has written and co-authored two well documented books on the extent of vote fraud. The MSM are now demanding proof for Trump’s assertions, opening the door for the Trump administration to conduct a detailed investigation of vote fraud, which has to have been a strategy all along. When the investigation will be attacked as an effort at “vote suppression,” the Trump administration will have media demands for data to point at.
Because nobody can deny that there is some vote fraud, the question becomes, “How much?”
If positioning the media to demand what he all along wanted (but knew that the media would attack) is irrational, I do not see the logic.
And as for a president “lying,” outgoing President Obama issued a whopper just before he left office:
Obama said the U.S. is the only country in the advanced world that makes it harder to vote rather than easier.
"And that dates back, there's an ugly history to that that we should not be shy about talking about," he said.
In fact, the United States is an outlier in terms of voter ID and ease of voting.
So the question that the MSM is pushing is, “How much vote fraud is there?”
And Trump has a “character issue” in accomplishing this.
