If you and I are alone in a room, and you call me any name, it's fine, it's a one on one situation and I can defend myself. However maybe a muslim woman can't, perhaps there's a group harassing the Mexican family down the street. There's dozens of reasons why you call the cops...it's not kindergarten "sticks and stones" bullshit, it's a threat, pure and simple.Originally posted by baldgriff View Post

KellyAnne Conway is calling the Trump Electoral total of 306 "Landslide. Blowout. Historic". I guess it is if you live in bizarro world. Trumps share of the votes is actually...44th highest of all time by percentage. EPIC!

The kind of bizarro world where a candidate that won zero electoral votes can have the results recounted in 3 states.Originally posted by Hornsby View PostComment

I really don't get the faux outrage over this recount, both by Trump and the public. Is there really anything wrong about wanting to make SURE that every thing was on the up and up? That there was no voter fraud? That machines weren't tampered with in any way?
I don't care which side asks for a recount, it's fine by me. In Minnesota, a close house race was won by the Democratic candidate. Today, almost 3 weeks after the election, his opponent asked for a recount. Good for him, it's his right. GET it right..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

I am not sure Trump helped himself by saying there was widespread fraud to the tune of millions of votes, he just tweeted he really won the popular vote by millions if you subtract the fraud votes. You then cannot say election is fair and square, nothing to see here, and shout outrage that there is going to be a recount.
Prior to vote he constantly said vote would be rigged, during election we saw steady stream of leaks from foreign hackers, never mind the organized centers that pumped out false news stories on facebook feeds, as well as our own FBI leaks, that decided election. And now, even after election you say you know truth, there were millions of votes fraudulently cast. To carefully weave such a full story that something is amiss, how can you now claim that a recount is a scam and ridiculous.Comment

Your argument would be a lot more compelling if the candidate with 0 electoral votes were asking for a recount in all or even a mix of the closely contested states. You know...to get it right. But when the candidate with 0 electoral votes raises money for a recount in 3 states that Trump won (kudos for raising more money in 48 hours for a recount than she did in 22 months as a candidate lol)while ignoring a state like NH that is also very close, I think the 'get it right' canard goes out the window.Originally posted by Hornsby View Post
How come it was 'horrifying' and 'appalling' to Clinton when Trump said he might contest the election results (her words, not mine)but when Stein actually does contest the results, the silence from the Clinton camp is defeaning? You know why.
One thing for sure though-- I am going to enjoy watching her lose. Again.Comment

Exactly, there's NO other reason for this recount except the remote possibility that it may aid Clinton NONE. Otherwise we'd see recounts in, as you put it, EVERY closely contested state .Originally posted by nots View Post
New Hampshire should be recounted too--To get it Right!
But hell, there's NO proof the DNC or HRC have anything to do with this at all.
Nothing.

No, the get it right statement stands for me...as far as I'm concerned, EVERY state should run an election audit as a mandatory course of action. What Jill Stein chooses to do with her money that she raised is her business. She contends that several "experts" have found some oddities in the vote count, and it happens to be in Wisconsin. Now am I foolish enough to buy it hook, line, and sinker? Hell no, but again, why not just take the results and look at them more closely? Why NOT take a look at empirical evidence? What are people afraid of? It's certainly NOT going to change the result of the election. Trump is the President come January 20th, come hell or high water. So why not make the system BETTER? For now and the future...Originally posted by nots View Post
Yes, get it right...period. Make sure that ridiculous statements like million of people voted fraudulently are met with the derision that they deserve."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Well HRC conceded by next morning after election, so she is not losing again, she lost already. To be certain, all educated and reasonable people lost who understand we lost face in the world. We elected the ugly american stereotype, the boastful, bullying, coarse, crude head for the body. But if you want to celebrate some perceived pain you wish HRC to endure, I suppose that is fine. Maybe summon up some absurd claims on a message board and tie it to her somehow. Recall the recount effort was not started by HRC, but by Stein, and supported by millions of people who jumped in a few hours to throw money at the recount.Comment
