On This Week with George Stephanopoulos I finally heard someone say the obvious:
SIMPSON: On the election security issue, I mean you’re absolutely right, everybody should be singing the same tune. But what we know is that one, Senate majority leader is compromised based on money that he’s taken recently from, you know, organizations that, you know, make and process voting machines.
Not only that, but we know that the Republican Party is afraid that without Russian interference, this president can’t win.
That set off Chris Christie:
CHRISTIE: That’s just ridiculous, it really is. That’s the kind of stuff – that’s why things don’t get done, because people like you say things –
SIMPSON: Well then let’s have a free and fair election.

SIMPSON: — let’s have a free and – let’s have a free and fair election then.
CHRISTIE: You have no evidence of that and that’s –
(CROSS TALK)
CHRISTIE: — it’s what we were before, let’s – I want that conversation to continue. Let it continue between now and the election and it will guarantee the president –
(CROSS TALK)
SIMPSON: There’s a reason that Republicans aren’t on board here.

Matthew Dowd went on to say they aren’t on board because the president isn’t on board.
I wonder why?
