Six on Politics: Voting Machines: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver; 'Donald Trump has shown conservatives that it’s OK to fight': Donald Trump Jr.; When should Republicans jump ship?; Election 2019 Ad Wars; 50 People Try To Name Their Representatives In Congress; New poll shows Trump supporters won’t be swayed — by anything



"John Oliver discusses how voting machines work, how they don’t, and how we can fix them."


'Donald Trump has shown conservatives that it’s OK to fight': Donald Trump Jr. 

"But not every New York scene has been ugly.

Last Valentine’s Day, Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle, dined at Nello — and he braced himself for liberal backlash. An older woman started screaming, but not what the diatribe he expected. Instead, he writes, she yelled out: “You have the biggest balls in the world, and you don’t take crap from anyone. Keep it up!”

“The whole restaurant erupted in applause,” he told The Post. “They shook my hand and took selfies.”

Despite a lifetime of privilege and wealth, the executive vice president in the Trump organization thanks in the book his “hunting, fishing, and shooting buddies” for keeping him grounded — “at least a little.”

As Trump Jr. points out, after college, he did live in the back of his truck for a few weeks while camping out in the Rockies. “I have a pretty good understanding of the ‘forgotten man’ in America.”

Donald Trump Jr. says Instagram, Twitter are ‘shadow banning’ him in new book







When should Republicans jump ship? 

Matt Bevin (R): Safe, 2019 Ad for Governor of Kentucky - Election 2019 Ad Wars

"Their Republican opponents are in lock step with the president. Mr. Bevin’s most aired ad of his campaign, according to the firm, is ripped from the Trump playbook: It shows images of tattooed gang members, hoping to sow fears of illegal immigration, and says Mr. Bevin is “pro-Trump” even before it says he’s “pro-Kentucky.” Mr. Bevin spent about $4 million on advertising."



50 People Try To Name Their Representatives In Congress



"Sixty-two percent of people who approve of the job President Trump is doing say that there would be nothing the commander in chief could do to shake their support, according to a Monmouth University poll out Tuesday."
