has no legal authority to change the election date leading even members of trump's own republican party in congress to scoff at the prospect well never in the history of the country through wars depressions and the civil war if we ever not had a really good. and we'll find a way to do that again no show or 3rd no way should we ever not hold an election from claims that voters identity can't be verified and that a voter might cast more than one ballot i don't want to delay i want to have the election but i also don't want to have to wait for 3 months and then find out that the ballots are all missing and the election doesn't mean anything this was going to happen see if it's common sense so we're asking for a lot of trouble and no do i want to see a day change no but i don't want to see a crooked election but president trump may have had another vote at. for his

incendiary tweet up ending negative news headlines it's been another week of gloomy economic numbers for a president hoping to cruise to reelection on a strong economy now obliterated by business shutdowns caused by coded. poll numbers are also not trump's favor most show him trailing the presumptive democratic presidential nominee joe biden by double digits on thursday will biden didn't address trump's push to delay the election he did blame trump for the historic job losses that have left more than 20000000 americans without work because trump so badly mishandled provirus and caused this spiral. there is no money to be able to keep necessary people employed it's not the 1st time trump has expressed reservations about the upcoming presidential election earlier this month he said he may not accept the results of the november poll can you give

that. was. senior to seniority so i wasn't jealous of me. but you know when clearly you know you want to do the least that is the case and it taught me a whole. new year's. budget and i got some of that is i mean so i was a kid let me out of the. league can you tell. us . how we should kids see. so kennedy had all but should go off to dance to keep getting prepared by the jury and that he stuff. it will be interesting to black to clean the cubicle of the mixer as journalists think

out. and it was just like these that casey entered in my life and like with the other flatmates i started to feel the same. and so yesterday but his. kids he must. not survive. no no suspects only saw it all yeah ok it's all a plot to think it well. now does it from me that if i found it said something about you the only thing i want to do the show began to see down clearly. julian. book was there was somebody to. put me in shock the beautiful without all but the love in your poem on the way with that and
