Donald Trump just ceded the presidency to Hillary Clinton
nypost ^ | John Podhoretz

Posted on 10/20/2016 7:44:07 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

An hour and 18 minutes into Wednesday night’s debate, Donald Trump effectively acknowledged his coming defeat.

“Lotsa luck, Hillary,” he said, after a peroration on the humanitarian disaster in Syria and how it is going to consume much of the next president’s time over the next four years.

What will she need luck for if she’s not going to be president?

Ten minutes earlier, Trump told moderator Chris Wallace he will let us all know on election night whether he is going to accept the results of the Nov. 8 balloting. It was a shocking and cravenly irresponsible thing to say, the sort of thing that threatens to rend our national fabric, and for that alone, Trump has earned his place in the history of American ignominy.

But who needs to wait? Consciously or not, the guy ceded the race. Live. On television. On Oct. 19. Lotsa luck indeed.

Hillary sure did luck out having him as her rival. She can basically take the next three weeks off. But why would she? She can just spend the time taking the most luxurious pre-victory lap in American history.

Another paper is trying its best to earn the sobriquet “Compost”, in the grand tradition of the Washington Compost.

How would that be different than the rest of her adult life?

Today’s Dem trash Trump talking point. Since they had to come up with this last night and get it distributed before the morning news came out, there must not be anything left in their bag of tricks.

These people are grasping for straws. When will MSM fold up?

John Podhoretz (the author) is a certified Trump-hater from way back. He is from the Bill Kristol wing of the Republican party.

Is there an actual man left on the Left? When your opponent is talking trash before the game and you don’t care to argue, you respond with “lotsa luck” and then you mop the floor with them or blow their doors off.

It is hardly a consession of defeat. Lotsa luck is the exact opposite!

The way you posted this makes it look as if it’s an NY Post editorial; I thought the NY Post was better than that. But going to the site, I found it was a column by John Podhoretz, who is sometimes good but seems to be GOP-e.

At some point the speed of the edge of the spin has to approach relativistic effects and we see Cerenkov radiation!

*****************************

There are still Democrats and members of the Ministry of Propaganda saying that GWB was selected not elected in 2000.
But that’s not shocking or cravenly irresponsible or the sort of thing that threatens to rend our national fabric.../s

These propagandists don’t know how ridiculous they sound to normal thinking people.

Not surprised that this is from Podhoretz as he’ hasn’t been on the Trump train. Michael Goodwin also has a negative column and he’s no fan of Hillary.I thought he was pretty pro Trump.

Podoretz is an original Nevertrump. He’s certainly not going to change his stripes now. His future is invested in Trump failing.

I still contend the Obamas are not willing to cede control of the Democratic Party back to the Clintons. Even among the globalists they can’t stand nor trust Hillary. If there is a Super October Surprise it will be the globalists springing one on Hillary. Just my opinion.

This sounds like two juvenile brothers taunting each other.

“What will she need luck for if she’s not going to be president?”

luck with living in her loony mind while she deals with the various corruption she is involved with unraveling around her is what I think Donald meant by her needing luck.

Donald thinks many steps ahead of this reporter and many people, they simply can’t follow along.

In this case, the thought capability needed to embrace “Hypothetical” isn’t even there in those numbed minds.
