1992: Bill Clinton defeats George H.W. Bush. Most conservatives are mortified. No protests or riots.
1996: Clinton defeats Dole. Most conservatives are disappointed. Again, no protests or riots.
FOOTNOTE: Clinton is impeached in ‘98 but, thanks to a Democrat majority on the Hill, he is not removed from office. Once again, no protests or riots.
2000: Dubya defeats Gore and howls of protest ensue. Massive recounts follow and, for the first time we hear arguments regarding “dimpled chads,” and “hanging chads,” but each recount seems to bolster the results of Bush’s victory. Still, the Dems (including Gore) are dubious about the results.
2004: Dubya defeats Kerry. Ok, for the most part, the Dems don’t go crazy about this one.
2008: Obama defeats McCain. And, according to the left, EVERYTHING was beautiful and, if you didn’t vote for Barry O, you were a racist. A bigot. A hater. A right wingnut. But they couldn’t protest or riot because they got what they wanted.
2012: Obama defeats Romney because, well, Romney was apparently the best the GOP could dredge up. At any rate, no protests or riots.
2016: Trump defeats HRC and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE WITH WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH AND PROTESTS AND RIOTS AND KIDS WHO CAN’T VOTE ANYWAY WALKING OUT OF SCHOOL AND CELEBRITIES THREATENING TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY (but later saying they were only kidding) AND CALLS FOR RECOUNTS AND DOUBTS REGARDING THE VALIDITY OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE AND... AND... AND... SNORT, SNORT, huff, huff, wheeze, sniffle.
So, basically, the left IS the joke here.
Kerry waited 3 days to concede in 2004. There were plans to prolong it all with recounts. Even still, Rats claim it was “stolen” in Ohio.
