In reply to the discussion: Trump says Republicans should 'nationalize' elections [View all]FakeNoose
(40,639 posts)33. The Repuke puppets are all silently nodding their heads
But before they ever heard of Chump, they would have been up in arms if anyone had said this.
It's so totally against everything the GOP has ever stood for.
I grew up in the 1950s. For as long as I can remember the Repukes have been against every kind of regulation the federal government has instituted, from integrated schools, forced bussing, Medicare, welfare, Title 9, gun control, and on and on. The Repukes have been against all of it! All they've ever screamed about is "states' rights" and "our constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms."
Now Chump is tearing it down with one swift kick, and they're just silently nodding.

Sadly true. Republicans are proving the constitution is only as good as the people in power.

Trump is fantasizing, but he's trolling. He's trying to depress the Dem vote.
