JOE BIDEN/VOTE BY MAIL/VOTING: “I’m just saying we cannot have these live… mail-in ballots sent to everybody, including mostly people that never asked for them…
I’m up by massive numbers on enthusiasm. So our voters are saying, ‘I’m very angry about this. I’ll go to the poll directly and vote.’ But that vote is the saying, ‘I don’t care if Biden gets in.’ He doesn’t have any enthusiasm…
So if they don’t have any enthusiasm, so you’d say, ‘Are you going to vote?’ ‘I’m not getting up to vote.’ Okay. ‘I want to watch television instead of vote.’ All right. But here’s a ballot. It just got to you. And he opens it. ‘Oh, here’s a ballet. What the hell am I going to do with this thing?’ And then they have somebody knocking on your door and they’re harvesting. ‘Hey, have you gotten your ballot?’ ‘Yeah, I have my ballot.’ ‘You going to sign it?’ ‘Well, if you want, I’ll sign it. Here it is. Get out of here.’ That’s the most honest way of doing it, and that’s unfair.
That’s unfair because now they’re taking all of that enthusiasm that our party has, and we have tremendous enthusiasm.”
