There is no tactic Democrats won’t use to keep President Trump from being reelected in 2020…

Nancy Pelosi is banking on radical educators in our public schools to indoctrinate our children, as she leads the charge to allow 16-year-olds to vote in the upcoming election.

Democrats in Congress are fighting to keep the massive flow of illegal alien coming across our southern border in hopes of creating a massive new voting block of people who rely on the government for assistance.

Now, Democrats are working to keep Trump’s name off the ballot in the 2020 presidential election.

The Hill reports – Washington’s state Senate passed a bill this week that would drop President Trump from the state’s 2020 presidential ballot until he releases his tax returns.

The bill, which advanced Tuesday to the state’s House of Representatives, according to CBS News, would require any candidate on the ballot for president in the state to release five years of tax returns before appearing in a general or primary election.

Senators voted by a 28-21 margin to approve the bill, according to CBS. The state’s attorney general and solicitor told lawmakers in a letter this week that the proposal likely was constitutional, but analysts expect the law if passed to be challenged in federal court.

“The disclosure requirement you propose is likely Constitutional,” the two wrote to lawmakers, according to CBS, adding that the measure “would definitely be challenged in court.”

Democrats who supported the bill said the provision was necessary to force a return to norms surrounding the release of presidential candidates’ tax returns.

“Although releasing tax returns has been the norm for about the last 40 years in presidential elections, unfortunately, we’ve seen that norm broken,” said Sen. Patty Kuderer (D), who sponsored the bill, according to CBS.

Republicans, however, argued that the state was getting into questionable territory by attempting to impose rules on a federal election.

“We’re on really risky ground when we’re trying to place conditions on a federal election,” said Sen. Hans Zeiger (R), according to CBS.

A similar bill was approved by the New Jersey Senate in February 2019, and is waiting to be approved in the general assembly.

According to North Jersey, New Jersey Democrats are reviving a controversial effort to force President Donald Trump to release his tax returns or be denied a spot on the state’s 2020 ballot. The state Senate approved a bill—the Legislature passed once before, in 2017, but which then-Gov. Chris Christie blocked by issuing a scathing veto — that would prohibit candidates for president and vice president from appearing on the ballot unless they make their tax returns public.

Similar legislation has been introduced in at least 30 states but never enacted, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, meaning New Jersey would be the first to impose such a disclosure requirement if its measure is also approved by the Assembly and signed by Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat.

But critics say such a measure would be struck down by the courts and could lead to more demands on candidates in the future.

“Today we require tax returns, but what would be next?” former Gov. Jerry Brown of California, a Democrat, wrote in vetoing a similar measure in his state in 2017, according to The Associated Press. “Five years of health records? A certified birth certificate? High school report cards? And will these requirements vary depending on which political party is in power?”

“It’s just political pandering,” said John Carbone, an attorney specializing in election law at the Ridgewood firm Carbone & Faasse.
