Another Voter Fraud Fraudster 2
Again, I think this is a classic example of projection.
Republicans are willing to cheat, so they believe everyone else is also willing to do so.

And they hold to that false deity with ferocious vigor. Author Eddy Harris once described a conversation with a white woman in Mississippi whose mother belonged to a whites-only church in the 1960s.

Mangy comments at the Youtube page:
Mangy Fetlocks recently watched a youTube video about what Republican candidates will subject themselves to in order to obtain Donald Trump’s endorsement (an endorsement of questionable value). Candidates must first negotiate with Trump’s “handlers” to be allowed to see The Orange Julius. Then, they must flatter, praise, and ingratiate themselves in any way possible. They are told that colorful pictures and charts about them and their candidacy are suggested, since Trump won’t read anything of length or complexity. Mostly, they must make Trump feel that he is the wisest and most powerful man on the planet, bar none. Mangy feels that all this kowtowing and bottom-kissing should immediately disqualify any candidate from office.

Mangy comments at the Youtube page:
For all their patriotic bluster, it seems Republicans have an incredibly long list of fears and insecurities. Mangy Fetlocks has no problem with admitting to fears, since many fears make total sense. It’s presenting yourself as heroic and fearless when you are nothing but a bundle of insecurities that Mangy feels compelled to call ‘BS’ on.
