Washington (AFP) – President-elect Donald Trump and his top aides on Sunday doubled down on their criticism of Hillary Clinton’s camp for joining a vote recount in Wisconsin, terming the decision “ridiculous” and “a waste of time.”
With the recount threatening to revive debate about the legitimacy of Trump’s victory — Clinton won far more popular votes, while he carried the all-important Electoral College count — Trump aides pushed back hard on Sunday, even while continuing to wage an extraordinarily public battle over the makeup of the future cabinet.
In his latest early-morning Twitter storm, Trump quoted Clinton about the need to respect the electoral process, calling the presidential vote recount “sad.” It is time for people to accept the November 8 result and move ahead, he said on Saturday.

— Clinton won far more popular votes, while he carried the all-important Electoral College count —
In football, it’s not like the team with the most yards wins the game. It’s the most points. Those are the rules. Should be an easy concept for democrats but they’re not the brightest bunch.
YES !!! WHAT ABOUT THEM?
WHY IS IT THAT WE ARE THE ONLY ONES
MENTIONING THEM?
Most of the voters that Stein was watching were Sanders voters, they are both Communists, and I think Stein was counting on over the 30, 360 or 1.1% that she got in Wisconsin...and when she didn't she decided to investigate, hence the ‘voter recount’...why didn't the Sanders supporters come to her, or did they but were stolen???
Now comes the Formaldehyde witch and her crew, heaven forbid if Stein finds out that the massive try at voter fraud she was doing included some of the high amount of Sanders voters she was counting on...but there's more: when they find out there are people from near by states: ‘Dems Votes’ and ‘illegal immigrants’ votes and ‘voters voting in many districts’....now we have a whole new situation...and what is Stein going to do: open the Clinton Voter Scheme wide open...ops the formaldehyde witch is going down in big flames this time...and maybe, just maybe Trumps votes will go higher, in the popular area, and he will under any circumstance retain his EV votes of 10...
Criticism is not good enough — action is required.
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

If Clinton wanted a recount, she should have asked for one.
Stein asking for a recount is ludicrous on its face as she cannot possibly win even a single state, more or less the national election. Just as with the courts where other minor candidates have tried to raise election-related issues, such as with the several minor party candidate challenges to Obama’s eligibility, Stein’s request for recount should be dismissed on the basis that she lacks standing or at least has suffered no actual harm even in that she lacks any chance of securing election this way (a frivilous filing). ALSO, Stein might not know what she’s asking for....given the long-known fact of MAJOR vote fraud in the Big Cities of those three states (Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee)... said fraud always favoring D candidates and not R’s. Thus, she could well will wind up getting nowhere at all ..except embarassing the D party machine (which may be JUST what she is after!)
I read a similar post about this yesterday. That person mentioned that Stein probably figures that Hillary took votes from her in places like Madison, WI or Detroit, MI, or Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, PA and that Trump really does not figure into this at all. He even mentioned that Hillary’s people wanted to go there as to make sure that they are covered concerning Stein’s likely allegations.
I have been researching this for a couple of days now...and I did read something like what I just posted, I really think this has to do with Stein and Clinton...even Sanders said today this isn’t going to change anything...
And as far as the media trying to make it sound like Trump is going to lose and Clinton is going to win, FAKE NEWS...Trump has 306 EV votes and there isn’t anything that is going to change that...and PA is closed, no votes are counted now...
I think Hillary joined the fray because she can split the leftover money with Jill Stein being a fellow nominee. Remember Carville and “drag a $100 bill through a trailer park”...same thing, only millions of dollars involved, and Hillary wants her cut.
No. I think they’re hoping those states can’t meet the time limit of Dec 13 to finish and then that states electors can’t vote so Trump loses those delegates
The popular vote count is a red herring anyway. As long as some states have rampant vote fraud without any mechanism to secure the integrity of the voting process, the “popular vote” means little.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Re the popular vote, the fact is that the majority of people who voted did NOT vote for Clinton.
And in response, Trump should announce that the Clinton’s Criminal Investigation is back on.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Exactly, and while he’s at it he should announce that this has taught him a lesson about giving the Rats AND the NeverTrumpers a pass on their lies and dishonesty, and therefore Romney should go back to Utah and forget about the SoS appointment.
“Conway also made clear that Trump said only that he wouldn’t rule out another possible email probe because new evidence could emerge and he wouldn’t want to undercut the authority of federal and congressional investigators” Fox News
What do you do when your defeated opponent is cruzifying herself?
Stand aside and let her.
A very long process that will involve amending the Constitution and will need to be ratified by 75% of the 50 states (38 of 50 states).
Democrats are not in a position of power to get traction on this anytime soon. Republicans control the majority of the state legislatures.
There are people waiting to break her legs...Think about it. Think how much money she has taken over the past few years. I bet she’s scared.
