I know at least Sen. John McCain has stated his intentions to oppose the freeing of Russian sanctions. I feel that you forget (or maybe ignore) that on the other side of the aisle are people who also want the best for the country, rather than being a bunch of spineless evil white people that hate everyone except those with money. I think the reactions of the left after this election has proven how little difference lies between the republican and democratic parties. Suddenly, the fearmongers are on the left, ranting about the end of democracy and America as we know it under this President! Sounds familiar? I didnt vote for Trump, even though I lean Republican, but I can respect the outcome of the election, I trust that many in the GOP are good people, and I believe in our governmental system. Its not so black and white.

Nah. McConnell, Thune and others have all bought into his alternative facts about voter fraud. Trump pretty much beat them down until they toed his line. This will continue until the others are beat down too. Never mind that there was no proof of 3-5 million people committing voter fraud. Trump will just repeat it until it is believed as fact. And can you really say they have the best interests of the country on their mind? The first thing they tried to do was kill the ethics watchdog group. That doesn't seem in our best interests.

Estimation say that there are 11.4 million Illegals in the US currently. If only 1/3 voted it would be nearly 4 million votes - Trump's estimation of 3-5 million illegal votes is plausible and reasonable, definitely nothing to ignore.

More proof would be great - so let's have federal voter ID so we can settle this question once and for all.
