Hillary Clinton still wants to challenge election results
The New York Post ^ | September 18, 2017 | Mark Moore

Hillary Clinton just can’t face the fact that Donald Trump’s in the White House and she’s not.

Ten months after her stunning defeat​ in the 2016 presidential race, the Democratic nominee would not rule out challenging the results if investigators turn up solid proof of Russian meddling in the election.

But when asked how she could do that, Clinton was stumped.

“I don’t know if there’s any legal constitutional way to do that. I think you can raise questions,” she told National Public Radio.

Clinton said if she had been elected president and the US intelligence community told her of Russia’s involvement, “I would’ve never stood for it.”

“Even though it might’ve advantaged me, I would’ve said, ‘We’ve got to get to the bottom of this.’ I would’ve set up an independent commission with subpoena power and everything else,” she said in the interview published online Monday.

But later she admitted that there’s no real “mechanism” to dispute the election results.

“Basically I don’t believe there [is a way]. … But people are making those arguments. I just don’t think we have a mechanism,” she said.....

There is only one good answer to that headline. It was posted by struggle and Enchante here and here.

This old tweet by HRC should be retweeted on any twitter thread, should be posted on any facebook or webpage thread, or should be borne as a placard at any place where she turns up, complaining about the election result.

How hard can it be??

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence when he was only 33 years of age. Although he lived into his eighties and had served as President and in many important posts, his wish was for that Declaration, along with his authoring of a Bill of Religious Rights for his State of Virginia, to be the only epitaph on his gravestone.

What can this arrogant devotee of Alinsky and the regressive cult of Progressivism which has sought to replace America's founding philosophy of individual freedom--what on earth can such an irrelevant individual wish for her own?

Yes. Let’s really see Who was colluding with Whom.

I like “twice-failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton” the best of all.

“That’s horrifying.” ... “That is not the way our democracy works. It’s been around 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections; we’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election.” ... “And let’s be clear about what he is saying and what that means. He is denigrating — he’s talking down our democracy. And I for one am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position.” — Hillary Clinton, Final Presidential Debate, October 19, 2016

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Trump’s comment demonstrated “contempt for the sanctity of our elections. With his ‘wait and see’ position, he disrespects the voice and votes of the American people.”

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called Trump’s comments “horrifying” and demanded that he “immediately reverse course and state that he will accept the results of our free and fair elections.”

The president, campaigning in Miami for Hillary Clinton and Senate candidate Chris Murphy, said that “when you try to sow the seeds of doubt in people’s minds about the legitimacy of our elections, that undermines our democracy.” ... “Then you are doing the work of our adversaries for them,” Obama argued. “Because our democracy depends on people knowing their vote matters.” (October 20, 2016)

“Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election. That’s a direct threat to our democracy.” — 10:53 AM - 24 Oct 2016 (Hillary Clinton tweet)

Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday he was alarmed by Donald Trump’s refusal to commit to accepting the election results. “That is a big problem, Biden said during a visit to a Democratic field office in Manchester, N.H. “The American public has to stand up, even Republicans. ... This is a threat to our democratic process...” (October 26, 2016)

“The voters decide who wins and loses, period, end of story, and when a presidential candidate threatens to ignore our voices and reject the outcome of this election he is threatening the very idea of America itself and we cannot stand for that.” - Michelle Obama, October 26, 2016

“maybe she should do some volunteer work, like maybe
serving meals or cleaning dishes at the local soup kitchen”

And mingle with the smelly masses? That is her vision of hell.

Outside of public functions and photo-ops I doubt Bill has much to do with her.

THE AGONY AND THE IRONY.

The original ‘Russian Dossier’ was compiled by Obama’s crew on Hillary’s activities working with the Russians to influence the primary between Obama and Hillary for the DNC Pres.Candidate. Obama won, so he never had to use it.

It was re-written (names changed, etc.) and that is what they have been trying to use against Trump.

Ewwww. Why would you wish something like that upon some poor homeless people?


Perhaps it might be just the thing to spur then into taking any job not to have to see that mug.

Do you think 72 hours is enough? Perhaps a team of psychiatrists working around the clock?

Reading reddit it’s pretty clear the left is working themselves up to mass murder with the way they talk about Trump voters. If Trump is removed they’ll put Hillary in his place. Not like the law matters these days.
