Quote:And when it wasn't in 1860 it resulted in a civil war.... Is this what trump and his supporters are going for? Maybe that's why he and his supporters are rightfully being vilified for even suggesting they would not accept election results. It's dangerous and the example a trump supporter gave of not accepting election results is a perfect reason why.
This is so beneath me...
1.) If you are stupid enough to think that if OH NC FL or any other state was hanging in the balance by less than 1000 votes and costing the dems the presidency that they wouldn't have another thousand lawyers trying to invalidate ballots then you are insane. The most public contest to a presidential election result was HER HUSBAND and his VICE PRESIDENT. And they didn't contest based on voter fraud, or anything untoward. We had thousands of people trying to figure out what a voter INTEDED!!!!
2.) Donald Trump is reacting to the news that broke 48 hours earlier that the Democratic party RISKED PEOPLES LIVES to violently shut down his rally, have been systematically causing violence as subversive propaganda and have people on tape BRAGGING about... wait for it... RIGGING THE ELECTION. We have an illegal migrant lawyer on TAPE talking about massive voter fraud and bussing in people. We have people on tape talking about how to skirt voter registration. We know that there are roughly 4 million dead people still on voter roles, but somehow a significant portion of them vote every year. There is a court decision citing the fact that the LOW NUMBER of voter fraud convictions is based on the fact that the crime itself is virtually untraceable in the absence of... wait for it... voter id. If someone shows up and claims to be dean smtih if you don't have a voter id card then whos to say that person is NOT dean smith. That's how James Okefe demonstrated just after the fast and furious scandal that he could just walk into a polling place and assume to be the Attorney General of the United states with no one being the wiser. Given all this Trump is supposed to unilaterally forgo a potential legal challenge because Wolf Blitzer says so?
3.) Not only did the dems quit the country, when they got their rear ends handed to them in the bloodiest war in our nations history a Hollywood dem just up and shot the republican president who in a symbol of unity had a democrat as his vice president. The democratic party conveniently ignored the duelly passed 14th amendment for a century as a result setting back the enfranchisement of black people exponentially.
4.) A lot of historians do believe that Nixxon was probably robbed in 1960. He was given credible evidence of voter fraud in three states, including Illinois where the Daly machine was up and running. He didn't mount a challenge even though Kennedy essentially cheated in the debate with his answer about Cuban rebels because he knew nixxon couldn't violate national security. Where was the compassion for the loveable looser During Watergate. Where was the media urging the congress to "take impeachement of the table" "for the spirit of the country" like they do with Obama and most certainly will do with Clinton? Where were the college professors out shouting to the students "elections have consequences" when they were marching on the capital to undermine his foreign policy authority? In Minnesota with Al Frankin, dems just keep suing and disqualifying until they win. The house of representatives under democratic leadership has asked for ballots to be sent to the house for their own recount and just declared dems the winner.
5.) Any fair minded person knows exactly what Trump was saying, especially given the extraordinary circumstance and evidence presented in the days prior to the debate. In Washington speak accept election results means republicans should loose gracefully. Compromise means republicans should cave to whatever the democrat wants. Bipartisanship means admitting that democrats are right. being prepared to govern means republicans should know their place.
