No, you are missing the point. Hillary and the Dems blame Jill Stein for losing the election, especially in key states like MI, WI, and PA. Hillary has branded Stein as a Russian asset. You seem to buy into that argument.

My point is that Trump could claim something similar using the votes cast for Johnson and McMullen. I don’t buy that argument either, although in the case of NeverTrumper McMullen, there is some substance there.

Hillary was a lousy candidate who has has used numerous excuses for why she lost. Jill Stein was one of them. Pure nonsense.

Yes, probably.

I know it is hard for us to believe (I have trouble believing it!) but the poll numbers say Biden is the front-runner and should get the nomination.

After Super Tuesday if he has a substantial delegate lead, fuggedaboudit.

I have no idea how Hillary spoke of Stein; it is her supporters who blamed Stein (the same thing played out in 2000 with Nader).

Trump supporters could - and would - claim something similar if he had lost, but he won anyway.

As lazy as she is, I cant see her jumping into this mess. She's got it made - why bother?

Well, I assume the nominee will not be outright mentally ill.

When Hillary accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a possible Russian asset, she mentioned that Stein was a Russian asset.

BS on a moral equivalency between Trump and Hillary supporters. When the Dems lose, they come up with conspiracy theories. When Hillary lost, there were requests for recounts in WI, MI, and PA. There was a concerted campaign to persuade Trump electors not to cast their ballots for Trump in the Electoral College. Many Dems in Congress boycotted the Inauguration while Dem mobs protested it. Talk of impeachment began before the Inauguration. Over the past three years, four separate votes were taken in the House to impeach Trump.

We can recall the Dems refusal to accept Bush 43 as legitimate and the court battles over hanging chads. Stacey Abraham’s still claims she won and blames voter suppression. The Dems are undermining our Republic by refusing to accept the results of elections. It is highly dangerous and irresponsible. Hillary and the Dems are still blaming Russian meddling for Trump’s victory despite the findings of the Mueller report.

A DemocRAT 'brokered' Primary convention will feature Bernie clearly on his way to the nomination BUT then; 1) enter the Hildabeast to save the party from a Bernie nomination AND then; 2) enter Moochelle to save the party from the Hildabeast.

RESULTS...chaos prevails for the RATs through 2020 and our President, President Donald J. Trump, re-elected!!

I predict the speeches will be this:

Comrades, I have to refuse the nomination. My health and record on the use of illegal quid pro quos in various countries intervenes with my sincere outrage against this illegal President, but no worries since Comrade 2 will carry out banner forward.

2nd Comrades, I also have to refuse the nomination because I need to spend more time with my family on a reservation yet to be determined

3rd: Comrades, I believe I can do more for the country by leaving the country to support the world wide movement for climate change since we only have 10.2 years left.

4th: I never expected to get this much opportunity to become President as the First Husband. It is a real “kick” in the butt to coin a phrase.
