If Trump wants to redo an election, then I’d suggest that we start with the 2016 presidenti­al election.

I’m sure the results, especially in Pennsylvan­ia, Michigan and Wisconsin, would be vastly different.

Some people with certain ailments are highly sensitive to the rain

So our commander in chief can order thousands of troops to protect the border from his “invasion,” but he cannot attend a parade in France due to the rain.

I guess the moisture must aggravate his bone spurs.

Next time, let’s hear no more excuses about the voting snafus

Once again we have become the laughing stock of the rest of the nation. We have failed to fix our voting mechanisms. With two years to prepare we had sites closed, never set up, votingsite buildings foreclosed upon and a clear lack of planning and organizati­on.

Now we have to wait up to eight days for the results of the Arizona Senate election. Ludicrous. As Arizona voters we deserve better than this. Same thing has happened over and over. Let’s get someone in there who can fix this once and for all!

Here’s an idea: You have two years to get ready. Start tomorrow!

Election made me go out and join NRA — it now gets all my money

Love Trump. Just joined the NRA because of Sinema. All future charity headed the NRA’s way.

The illegal gun used in California didn’t care it was illegal, and a truck in France took out more than the Vegas shooter. I digress.

Learn to love liberty and your neighbors. Quit threatenin­g to remove rights.

You couldn’t predict much in 2018 election except for ...

I’m tired of election bellyachin­g. Remember 2012 when the Democrats and were bellyachin­g about provisiona­l ballots and how long it took to count votes?

Have the provisiona­l away? No.

Does it still take awhile to count the ballots? Yes.

Do losers bellyache? Predictabl­e. ballots gone

If the president cannot answer the questions of a respected reporter, how exactly can he negotiate effectivel­y with world leaders.

Further, if this is a president who doesn’t have the courage to fire someone unless it is on a scripted TV show, what exactly is his strength?

Now that tribal gaming in Arizona generates $5 billion in sales, I think we have given the tribes the gambling monopoly long enough.

We should now expand gaming to state trust lands, the purpose of which is to generate revenue for Arizona’s schools. Doing so will create a new revenue source for public schools, which have been starved for funding by the state for many years.

The state’s management of trust lands has also failed to produce revenue consistent with the enormous market value of the trust lands. The state should pass legislatio­n to allow gaming on trust lands.
