Papantonio: Were The Midterms Rigged From The Start?

[GoLeft TV]

For the last 6 years, Republicans have worked tirelessly to enact restrictive voting laws to keep minorities away from the polls. They’ve also gerrymandered themselves into districts that they can never lose. When you take all that into consideration, it feels like this year’s midterms were rigged from the start.

America's Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, and attorney David Haynes discuss this.

1. The problem we have with Democrats is

that there really is no down side to losing an election...you go from making a few k as a Representative to making the big bucks when you lose...and they all know if they play ball with the system they will git that lobbyist job or a position on the BOD of some big company...if you go along to get along that is.

Money is at the root of all evil...the love of it that is.

2. And if you posess the power to be helping the other side win,

Such as Senator Di Feinsein possesses, then you get a deal made in a back room, probably in some trendy and exclusive restaurant or lounge, and no one in the public will ever know what you got for giving a governorship away several times.

And they are always careful with plausible deny-ability.

5. I don't trust those secret black boxes, manufactured by the 1%, to "count" the votes impartially.
