Trump is lashing out at SCOTUS after they blocked his mail-in ballot scheme, calling it “a big loss for Republicans.” He attacked mail-in voting, accused justices of being intimidated by Democrats, and declared: “These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court.”

Hamilton: There’s a lot of people across Kansas who are Republicans who are saying, ‘We’re fed up.’… They’re particularly frustrated with Roger Marshall, who's a yes man to the president. Instead of speaking up against him and speaking up for them, he’s goes along with whatever the president asks.

The final stretch before the midterms is here, and Democrats' momentum is only building. The generic ballot is looking better than ever. The map keeps expanding into places nobody expected. And Trump's convention was a dud, which you know I love. A lot to feel good about heading into November.

So now Trump tells his convention supporters to "cheat like hell" in the midterms. If any Democratic president said this it would be all over the so called legacy media, and that president would be impeached and convicted by this House and Senate. The Republicans can't win if they don't cheat.

Cheat like hell is the Trump family motto.
The president ordered supporters to raise their right hands, proclaim him the greatest president in history, and promise to “cheat like hell” before warning nonvoters that they would “go to hell.”
