Mark Ruffalo replies to Trump's "VERY STRANGE" mail-in ballot comment
Donald Trump seemed quite upset over the turnout of the electoral votes. He tweeted that he was leading until last night only to solidify his control in key states. The president complained that soon, the votes started to “magically” disappear. Trump called out the mail-in votes as surprise ballots and even called them “very strange”. Trump then ended his tweets of dissatisfaction by mentioning that the “pollsters” have got it completely and historically wrong. Thus the president did not seem pleased with the outcome in terms of votes.
Last night I was leading, often solidly, in many key States, in almost all instances Democrat run & controlled. Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted. VERY STRANGE, and the “pollsters” got it completely & historically wrong!
