Yes because as you can plainly see per what is being EXPRESSED in that interview, all they need is love, understanding, a hug and a really big, hot, mug of cocoa topped with marshmallows and they'll become kind, loving, warm progressive voters before we know it

Oh yes, and continual kissing of their "sweet" asses would also go a LONG way in swaying them over to us

They want the government to help THEM--and not the others Even if we kiss their asses it still will not work-it's their thinking process. I say leave them to themselves.

embraced by the alt-right (and alt-left to a lesser extent) where the only "real" Americans are whites (especially white men), thus everyone else's vote is "illegal".

This is why "Make America Great(white) Again" will always beat "Stronger Together" in the minds of these people, and why Dems would be stupid (and immoral) to go down the route of trying to coddle/appease them, especially when Hillary won the popular vote by 2.5m and without Comey's stunt, she wins easily, as predicted by most polling/prediction models. (and of course, there's voter suppression, vote stuffing, intimidation etc that surely occurred in the swing states Trump just happened to "win" narrowly.)

To arrest all those illegal VOTERS and Government officials who Allowed them to vote
in the last election.

So, These Asshole Republicans are so arrogant to think they can make this stuff up and make everyone believe it? They really do want to live under a fascist government. This kind of crap will not stand, just let them try and enforce it!

How is it that these people swallow everything that comes out of Tangeranus' maw and Fox News as if it had been handed
down on stone tablets from Mt. Sinai. Couldn't possibly be lies, distortions, etc. Gospel straight from Lord Shitheel's lips to their tiny legume-like brains. But try to give them the truth and OMFG! Lies, all lies.

,so that the public does not have to listen to the "normalization" of lies to make a buck.

Take a gander at what the dumpsters little henchman is trying to accomplish, when it basically comes down to the POPULAR VOTE, they are trying to discredit:

http://crooksandliars.com/2016/12/kris-kobach-no-evidence-backs-trumps-claim

You CNN are a total failure in journalistic values, you hired a known right wing hypocrite from Breitbart, by the name of Lewandoski, by your right wing boss. And now you bring on conspiracies to justify exactly what, some imagined "voter fraud" gambit, that these lunatics believe

Your credibility is just like toilet paper, you are "trying" to make a complete a** out of your channel, by showing hypocrites spread F****ing lies and trying to normalize this crap. Your moderator should have said right then and there your information source is wrong and that CNN did not present this information

First of all voting is not a privilege it is a right, that is what your "moderator" should have said when the lunatic said that comment

She asked, What about the alt-right white racists? and they answered that the news media is at fault for talking about it, and then they went right into a diatribe against the protesters who are protesting racism. These people are delusional! They think that nonwhite people deserve bad treatment, and that the word "racism" has been invented by nonwhite people who unreasonably resent the bad treatment they deserve as subhumans.

But somehow, someway can figure out when and how to vote?

Doesn't seem fair.

I'm getting to the opinion that there should be some basic test to take before voting. If you believe crazy tinfoil hat made-up news you lose the right to vote. This is becoming a country of conspiracy nuts. No facts. No reality.

I don't think a democracy can survive that.
