Then, when some chump like Romney gets the majority of electoral votes, the same people behind this sinister idea will say “Selected, not elected.”

When word came out that the recount nonsense was just to occupy Hillary/get her out of her funk; it made sense to me. Now it is dragging out (with no hope of changing the outcome) to get her supporters out of their funks while delegitimizing Trump.

Hillary Clinton won the 2016 Presidential Election

No she didn't - this is pure fantasy from the insane left. Trump won the electoral college, and if there is sufficient cheating to deny him (and us) this win there will be a real civil war - with guns, bullets, and no safe spaces for precious snowflakes. Leftist professors, democrat politicians, loudmouthed leftist agitators, anti-gun activists, etc. will find that they're in the crosshairs - literally.

Folks.......Hillary Clinton did not win the “popular” vote in this POTUS election. All that any objective, same, person needs to do to confirm this is to study the massive “Outlier” votes in the certain election districts in California & New York, populated by large numbers of illegal immigrants or non-citizens. The Democrat Party has been “cheating” like this for many years.

In fact, if we could do investigative surveys of the fifty states voting rolls, we would find that Trump also won Nevada, Minnesota, Virginia, which he actually did, if you subtract the illegal votes from Clinton’s total!!!

IMHO.....Obama was never truly and fairly lected POTUS!!! However...I do not blame him...he is a crook from A_Z....but Iblame both McCain & Romney for not calling him and his criminal Democrat Party on it!!!

Bottom line, all “Fifty” state must pass voting laws that make every voter show proof of USA citizenship (birth ceritificate, etc.) and positive photo” ID (Driver license or, photo ID card issued by the state election commisssion. The illegal voting,problem would be solved overnight!!! And...all Motor Vehicle Offices, should never, ever, be allowed to register voters. Voters must be made to register to vote at only approved state elections centers...period!!!

Sounds like he’s writing about HILLARY here . . “demagogue”
financed by “foreign powers” best describes HER rather than
President-Elect Donald J. Trump.

HITLER-Y CLINTOON LOST THE ELECTION. MOVE ON. IGNORE
THE CHILDISH TANTRUMS SHE IS THROWING. - HITLER THREW
TANTRUMS, TOO, and rained down HELL on the world!

TRUMP ran his campaign BY THE RULES. IF there had been
different rules to accommodate HITLER-Y, then TRUMP would
have PLAYED BY THOSE RULES - and STILL HAVE WON!

Once again, another faulty premise. Trump is a hero by saving America from Hillary. If America had wanted a centrist GOP candidate, they had their chances to nominate one but they didn’t even come close. And if America has wanted Hillary, they had their chance to elect her but too few states did just that (notice with all this “democracy’ talk, the Left never mentions that Trump won more states than she did - arguing the popular vote disenfranchises the majority of states that showed a clear preference for one candidate over the others.

Republicans won the election but they can do the right thing by following Trent Lott’s example.You win at the ballot box giving Republicans power then you take office and surrender it to the socialist Democrat party whom the voters due to their ignorance rejected and the proper people can resume running the country again and the media will like you for one news cycle.

Remember the mindless moron a few years ago who wanted to suspend this election to give the Fraud “more time” to wrought his damage on America?

The leftist freaks will stop at nothing.

Notice how Big Media no longer reports about the rioting to save face for their god in the white mosque?

That will change on 1/20.

Our elected domestic enemies have proven their desire to destroy America and all we stand for.

Stay strong.

What none of these liberal idiots don't seem to realize it that the US Congress does not HAVE to accept the electoral college vote if any of the delegates votes contrary to how they are pledged:

"Members of Congress can object to any state's electoral vote count, provided objection is presented in writing and is signed by at least one member of each house of Congress. An objection supported by at least one senator and one representative will be followed by the suspension of the joint session and by separate debates and votes in each House of Congress; after both Houses deliberate on the objection, the joint session is resumed. A state's certificate of vote can be rejected only if both Houses of Congress vote to accept the objection. In that case, the votes from the State in question are simply ignored. The votes of Arkansas and Louisiana were rejected in the presidential election of 1872."

So in layman's terms, Congress can reject any votes by "faithless electors" with a protest by a single member of Congress and a single Senator which triggers a majority vote in the House or Senate to sustain the objection. If the vote passes, the electoral votes in question are tossed.

If at that point no candidate has 270 electoral votes then that tosses the electoral college completely and kicks the election to a vote in the House where each state delegation votes as a block and Trump will win easily.

So under every scenario the left can devise, Trump will still win.

The Marxists think that Hill will be President and be a hero to Americans? I doubt Hill would care about 1000 American jobs that Trump saved at Carrier, or any proAmerica Americans.

I just want to correct the article’s author. Hillary Clinton did not win. The presidential electrion rules are clearly defined, and Hillary flat out lost. She LOST!
