http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-ayotte-voter-fraud-claimsBy MATT SHUHAM Published FEBRUARY 10, 2017, 4:09 PM EDT
President Donald Trump reportedly brought up even more baseless claims of voter fraud on Thursday, during a closed-door meeting with several senators.
Politico first reported on Trumps comments Friday, citing unnamed participants in a meeting between Trump and 10 senators originally meant discuss Trumps nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Present at the meeting was former New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who has handled Gorsuchs confirmation process for the White House.
Ayotte narrowly lost a re-election bid in the Granite State in November. According to Politico, she lost her race against now-Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) by 743 votes, while Hillary Clinton won the state by nearly 3,000 votes.
Both outcomes, Trump reportedly said, were due to thousands of people who were brought in on buses from Massachusetts to vote illegally in the state.
Politico cited one participant at the meeting who said an uncomfortable silence followed that assertion

(5,730 posts)It was a tight race and it went back and forth. It was one of two that we picked up. If we had just gotten 1 more!! we wouldn't have DeVos.
DT is so sick. He still can't get over that he lost NH.
Meanwhile, the N Koreans are testing missiles and he's still obsessing because no one believes his preposterous lies. Sore winner. Sore cheater winner!

(5,730 posts)Probably right about the disorder though. He is truly sick. Craven Repubs won't take him out because he is useful to them, for now.

God Trump is such a lunatic...

(74 posts)but projecting what his campaign actually did. He did a lot of projecting through his whole campaign. I bet they would shit a brick if someone actually investigated some of his claims.
