Preventing Future Election Hacking.....

I see that there is a news conference going on about this now. My thoughts on this is that this is just to provide cover for Trump in the Midterms. He will say he's done things to prevent election hacking - albeit that he has waited until 97 days before the election. What about the last two years - Donald? You should have started this a long time ago.

Better late than never just doesn't work here Trump. We already know that Russia is messing around now. So you paying lip service to this is just to provide you cover to say that you've taken measures to prevent hacking.

If the Dems win big in Nov. He'll tell his people that he took measures to prevent hacking and did all he could to prevent. If the Repugs maintain their power base - he wins as well and he'll tell the Dems that carp about this that he took measures to prevent.

Again - he puts himself in a win-win situation by doing next to nothing too late.
