The call, an apparent imitation or digital manipulation of the president’s voice, says, “Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again.”

A prominent New Hampshire Democrat plans to file a complaint with the state attorney general over an apparent robocall that appears to encourage supporters of President Joe Biden not to vote in Tuesday’s presidential primary.

The voice in the message is familiar — even presidential — as it’s an apparent imitation or digital manipulation of Biden’s voice.

“What a bunch of malarkey,” the voice message begins, echoing a favorite term Biden has uttered before.

    It doesn’t have to be worse; it just has to reach a different conclusion. In this example, you don’t need to convince a Trump voter to abandon him, just not vote for him.

    To be clear, I don’t support such a move. I’m just discussing the effectiveness of a strategy.

      Have Trump say he has decided to support abortion and gay marriage. There will be enough outrage from the simpletons that it might sway a few.

        In my experience, they are more likely to convince themselves that they’ve always supported those, and it’s the “demonrats” that opposed it.

        Or else they’ll dismiss it as saying what people want to hear, and that when he said the opposite is when he was being honest.

        Trump supporters rarely care about actual policy.
