“I’ve had some radical ideas about voting and it’s probably not a good time to tell them, but you used to have to be a property owner to vote,” he said to applause.

He also called early voting through absentee ballots “a travesty” and hailed Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s move — since rescinded — to significantly reduce early voting from 14 days to eight, saying Scott’s plan didn’t go far enough. “I think it needs to be cut less than that,” he said.

2. So, by his standard the non property owners should not be paying taxes, any taxes, let the land

owners pay all taxes. He doesn't indicate he has a basic understanding of our Constitution. He is playing to what he thinks is his base and don't think many he is talking to and asking for their votes just may not own property.

3. Did someone ask him if a slave counted as property?
