Calling for roaming vigilante squads (to monitor voting precincts) especially in Penn.?
It is now apparent that Trump will do or anything in order to amp up his uber supporters..
Goes along with his philosophy on life.. If I cant have it Ill destroy it!
Isnt this in fact an attempt to disrupt and undermine perhaps one of the most critical parts of our Democracy?
The FBI should immediately take a ride over to his residence and have a little sit down..
This is Huge.

(11,949 posts)I am curious...what would the reaction be if a carload of middle aged white guys showed at a predominantly African American polling place and started asking questions/harassing the voters. Since many people of color can remember legal disenfranchisement, I am think the reaction would be somewhat energetic. And I think most white men know that and nothing will come of it.
