Another Trump quote taken totally out of context. He was encouraging people who don't normally vote to get out and vote this time.

People who oppose Trump don't do themselves any favors by misrepresenting this stuff. The guy is a ghoul and says plenty of terrible things that don't need misrepresentation to make him look bad.

I suppose this is out of context, too? In reference to Clinton being elected:

> "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks," he said at a rally in Wilmington, N.C., to boos from the crowd. "Although you Second Amendment people ... maybe there is, I don't know."

It seems like it has the necessary context and is without any sort of "misrepresentation".

Your reply explains the "You need to get out and vote" part, but it doesn't explain the "and if everything goes well, maybe you won't need to vote again" part. What context do you believe makes the 2nd part alright?

The country is in good enough shape that they can go back to not caring if it's a Democrat or Republican in the White House.

If you heard this quote without knowing who said it, you would think it is most likely that the speaker meant “vote again for me”. When a politician says “go vote”, it’s normally implied “go vote for me”.

In context, I think it is obvious that is what Trump meant. People that have been told Trump is a dictator that wants to end democracy obviously won’t approach that quote with normal grace they afford others.

He will have fixed things to the point that voting someone else in won’t undo the good?
