All right, Terry. What is your position on mail-in voting?

Voter registration reform is critical.
Voting must be IN PERSON at your registered precinct on election day.
And a finger dipped in indelible ink will help negate multiple voting fraud.
TOO LATE to get that done for this elselection however. America, it was nice knowing you.

If you care enough to vote then you can take it to the polling station,
I've never missed a vote, Local, National, Presidential or Constitutional Referendum, even the 2 times we voted No on EU treaties and we were made to vote again.
I have made sure to drive my elderly neighbours if they required lift.
Voting should be in person, with a voters card and ID.
Only in extreme circumstances should a mail in ballot be allowed.
If ye can protest in your thousands then ye can vote in person.

They have been cleaning up voter rolls for the last 3.5 years, Trump wants mail-in voting, it heavily favors him do to seniors and older people.
Most youths do the majority of their mail, electronically, most do little if any real us postal mail. Trump knows exactly what he's doing and the gullible, over-emotional, overreacting press falls for it every single time.

Ahhh, I see that you believe that there would be no ballot reproduction, no ballot harvesting, no falsified signatures, and all people handling your mail in ballot are honest democrats. Can't you see why the democrats authored and are demanding mail-in ballots. Here in Iowa we passed a law prohibiting the state auditor and any local auditors from sending out mail-in ballots and the democrat auditors have gone ahead and done it anyway, probably hoping that it will end up in our liberal corrupt judiciary for an answer.

Looks to me like at least one poster in this thread is making a bid to challenge Trump for the title of "Greatest Troll."
(For clarity, my comment was not directed at the poster of the quote I referenced.)

Um, no, I don't think so. Don't know where you're getting that.
He's totally against mail in balloting.

I would agree with that statement IF...
Republicans...
- Blocked peaceful transfer of government to the Obama Administration.
- Weaponize federal agencies to lie, spy and investigate the Obama Administration for 4 years.
- Impeach Obama over a phone conversation on a Republican getting 1.5 billion with them admitting on tape Quid Quo Pro.
If Republicans...
- Controlled the narrative and optics from 85% of the MSM journalist were not Marxist but were conservatives on their side.
- Had control of Big Tech; Twitter, FB, Amazon, Google and Apple censoring all communications from the Left, DNC and Obama Administration.
- Were known for pushing massive amounts of Voter Fraud by allowing illegals, felons, dead people to vote while stuffing mail ballots in their states.
- Had tons of other community organizations networking for them and as free as BLM/ANTIFA to express themselves on the ground.
And then if during Obama's reign leading up to the 2012 Election...
- Rep Governors and Mayors shutdown the economy during the swine flu and put business owners and church members in jail while letting criminals out of prisons.
- Rep Governors wrote EO's to send flu patients into the most vulnerable in our nursing homes creating over 40% of the deaths.
- Rep Governors and Mayors defunded the Police creating Anarchy.
- Rep Governors and Mayors marched with Rioters.
- Rep Governors and Mayors allowed Businesses and Cities to be looted and burned.
- Rep Governors and Mayors allowed Federal buildings and historical sites to be destroyed.
- Rep Governors and Mayors continued shutdowns of the US economy and school season leading up to the Election to kill growth creating as much suffering as possible to make the Obama Administration take all the responsibility of their draconian actions.

Trump does have a way with reverse psychology. He must be a pain in the backside kind of Dad in that respect. ROFL. My kids have always hated that cramp because in the end their response always gets them in the rear bumper. ROFL!!!!!

No, I don’t think it is. The presidents term ending date is set by the constitution. The vote date is set by congress and just has to take place before the term ends.
President Trump 2020 anything less = death camps and firing squads for conservatives, at the very least a hot civil war. He ain't perfect but he's perfect enough for me. At this stage I would take a dictator Trump now rather than democrat/communist dictator forever. He loves this country and conservatives, the alternative hates me,my kids,and grandkids. It's black and white to me no grey. I would prefer an honest election but not possible with dems this election cycle. This is my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Agreed. The commies on the other sides are nuts that can no longer be reasoned or negotiated with, and grievous measures will be needed to stop them.
He may be trolling, but for those who were on the fence, who might have slipped over to the conservative side, he just lost their vote. Fewer things are scarier than messing with the vote for president. The commie press will make hay with this. Trump just made it more difficult and dangerous for Trump supporters to stand up and speak out.

Newp. It's not Trump, the Republican Party, nor supporters of those that are tearing apart libtard-run cities, and causing much (the Coronahoax being the rest) of what plausibility there is behind even considering postponing the election.

Trump is totally brilliant, I thought I was going to choke to death laughing when I read this. IMHO I believe he has a reason for every thing he does and says. I can already see heads exploding, Just think about pelosi standing with her eyes buldging and her teeth about to fall out, my goodness what a sight.

No he’s not, he’s forcing the democrats to come out in support of it, mail in balloting, when done correctly, is a huge advantage for Trump, they’ve been purging voter rolls and laying the groundwork for this over the last three plus years. Trump is trolling, he does it all the time but the press and liberals hate him so much they can’t see the forest through the trees.

If someone would have bothered to read the tweet in full, President Trump stated that absentee voting is good. What I don't understand with absentee voting and early voting, why do we need mail-in voting? If we can stand in line at Walmart, why not at the polls? Add to this the recommendation of the United States Postal Service to the voting public to allow 14 days round trip for your ballot to get there. (U.S. Postal Service Provides Recommendations for Successful 2020 Election Mail Season) Personally I would add another 5 business days. Maybe just increase the voting day to maybe three days so the polls aren't so crowded and people can social distance?
I don't know about the rest of you, but USPS has been a nightmare lately for me. I get bills that are due in two days from when I receive them. I have a package that went from Minnesota, to Tennessee, to Kansas City, to Champaign, IL, to me. What drunk was planning that trip? Today I received an message from someone I purchased something from on Etsy. She was apologizing for the lateness. It was supposed to be here last Saturday. Right now it's left Milwaukee, to go who knows where. It was mailed from Palos Heights (outside of Chicago) and the destination was central Illinois...less than 200 miles.
Post office is a mess at this point. Mail in voting will be a mess of historic proportions.
*UPDATE*...Just checked my package. It's now in Des Moines, Iowa!!!!

Don't underestimate the power of emotion. On this board, most people will weigh what is said, the context behind what is said, and will separate facts from emotion. Look around. This country is running on emotion these days. With covid, riots, and the economy, emotional turmoil is higher than I've ever seen. Truth doesn't matter, just feelz.
We read the whole tweet. We know where he is coming from. Too many will just read the last line of the tweet and yell "Dictator!" Especially with Federal officers in Portland and other cities.
President Trump needs to stay focused on trying to bring about peace and calm. He not only stepped on a third rail today, he wrapped himself around it.

Just saw this...have company this week and doing road trips, so off the news grid.
Pretty stupid comment out of Trump. Don't feed the crazies. IOW, the Media, the Dems, any of the conspiracy thought-lines.
Again. pretty %$#&-ing stupid.
I have no problem calling stupid STUPID.

I see your concerns, but states have been doing absentee mail-in balloting for many years. Brian Cates did a great Twatter thread on this earlier today, I'm pasting it below, open the link in twatter and read the entire thread, quite interesting:

He's playing chess - they are playing checkers.
I don't know about you, but here in Florida I went down to the county supervisor of elections office over a month ago. Showed my drivers license and voter registration card and asked to be put on the mail in ballot list.
I received my Republican Primary ballot a few days ago.
I and my wife will fill ours out and carry them down to the local polling station that will be open for early voting after August 8. We will deposit them in the ballot collection box at the polling station .
This is the way I've voted for more than the last decade.
I am not standing in line with a bunch of Covid infected Democrats and Republicans too stupid to avoid catching Covid.
Florida has early voting whether in person or by mail or drop off absentee for over a week before election day. You may want to wait for election day if you live in a little podunk county with only a dozen residents, but I don't want to stand in line for 4 hours with a bunch of idiot A-holes where I live.
You do you, I'll do me.
After this election I plan to change my party affiliation from Republican to Independent.
I am tired of being demonized by one side and taken for granted by the other side.
No more carrying signs and waving at voters while standing 150 ft away from the entrance to polling stations or donating to the Republican party or answering the call for workers at the local Republican headquarters.
Oh, and to finally answer your question, NO I don't believe they should just mail out ballots to everyone.
You should have to request one.
One thing I believe completely - is that if the dems win - the constitution - is DEAD - FOREVER.
And not for one second do I believe we will have HONEST election this time.
Not even close.
As opposed to just ignored for a little bit this time?
How about we cut to the chase and just hit the streets and get this over with.
Agreed.

And how's that working out over there across the pond

Working grand in Ireland, the Left-wing are under represented, with only a scattering of TD's spread across a few different small leftwing parties with Sinn Fein being the largest but still small compared to the 2 political powerhouses Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael both Right-wing.

He is living large in their heads and even some Trump supporters are clutching their pearls as well. We should know about 4 years in now how he operates.
He knows the election isn’t going to be postponed and he knows his comments are going to cause a firestorm on both sides. He also knows the opposition is going to go against anything he says so why would he make that comment? Has he lost his mind?
He is brilliant, he knows that his comments are going to cause a $hit storm and he does it anyway. What if he sensed that the left in dealing with a faltering Biden was going to have to replace him at the last minute? What if he knows that that are going to have to play a postpone the election card as it’s not fair to put a last minute candidate into the mix with the Dems totally unprepared?
So he comes out suggesting that perhaps the election should be postponed knowing that the pushback is going to be immense and probably anticipating the House initiating legislation to force the election to be held on time or a House resolution saying that any delay for any reason is unconstitutional. He is doing this knowing the pushbacks are coming and he is doing it intentionally. Enjoy the show.

Sorry, got to respond this.Almost all states have allowed absentee voting for decades.
Hell, the President and his family vote by mail.
I guess it's ok for him but nobody else
Me, I'll stick with the constitution.
You are intellectually dishonest and disgust me. You have to know that just sending out absentee ballots in mass is a recipe for fraud. People requesting absentee ballots is perfectly fine, which you must know is not what this is about.
I was fine with you spewing your babble, until you brought up the constitution. You neither care about the constitution or stick with it, you disgust me.
