RUSH: Id like to remind you what happened October 19, 2016. This is from the archives of the apoplectic and failing New York Times. You remember what happened on October 19, 2016? If you dont, Ill remind you. It was a debate. It was a debate between Trump and Hillary.
Trump was asked a question by Chris Wallace of Fox News. (paraphrased exchange) Mr. Trump, will you accept the results of the election if you lose? Will you concede? and Trump said, Nope. Im not gonna tell you tonight that Ill concede the election. Im not gonna tell you what Im gonna do on election night. Who knows whats gonna happen on Election Day? Im not gonna tell you that. Ill look into it if it happens, but Im not gonna commit to you tonight.
The New York Times: In a remarkable statement that seemed to cast doubt on American democracy, Donald J. Trump said Wednesday that he might not accept the results of next months election if he felt it was rigged against him a stand that Hillary Clinton blasted as horrifying at their final and caustic debate on [October 19, 2016]. Mr. Trump, under enormous pressure to halt Mrs. Clintons steady rise in opinion polls Isnt it fun to go back and look at this stuff?
Mr. Trump, under enormous pressure to halt Mrs. Clintons steady rise in opinion polls, came across as repeatedly frustrated as he tried to rally conservative voters with hard-line stands on illegal immigration and abortion rights. But he kept finding himself drawn onto perilous political territory by Mrs. Clinton and the debates moderator, Chris Wallace. But it was Mr. Trumps remark about the election results that stood out, even in a race that has been full of astonishing moments.
Every losing presidential candidate in modern times has accepted the will of the voters Let me read that to you again: Every losing presidential candidate in modern times has accepted the will of the voters, even in extraordinarily close races Mr. Trump insisted that the general election has been rigged against him, and he twice refused to say that he would accept its results. Thats horrifying, Mrs. Clinton replied. Lets be clear about what he is saying and what that means. He is denigrating he is talking down our democracy. And I am appalled that someone who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that position.
Its funny, but its also really troubling, she said. That is not the way our democracy works.' Now who is it thats refusing to accept the results of an election? Who is it refusing to accept the will of the voters? Why, its Hillary Clinton, who still cant get over it, who still talks about it in every speech that she makes including when she shows up wearing a tent. Did you see that picture over the weekend? She was being interviewed by Laurene Powell Jobs, Steve Jobs widow, and she was literally dressed in It was fashionably called a muumuu.
But, folks, this thing was an actual
It was a sheet! It was a designer sheet, and it wasnt even Boll & Branch. It was
It was
(sigh) It was a tent! She was wearing a tent, and she was whining and moaning and talking about how tired she was and how exhausted. Now, who is it thats threatening our democracy? Who is it thats refusing to accept the results of an election to this day? Why, its all of these people from the New York Times to the Hillary Clinton to the media who were saying back in 2016, What Trump is saying is really troubling. This is not the way our democracy works. No, its not. Thats why I say these people are doing more to damage the integrity of our elections than anything Putin could dream of.
The Camel would never put its nose under that Tent
As regards accepting results of an election, can we all recall 2000?? The Democrats filed multiple lawsuits in Florida over the election there, which led to the hated (by liberals) Supreme Court decision which ended the endless recounts in that state.
Can we Also recall Minnesota 2008? Al Franken and his boys refused to accept those results, and recounts continued for months, as I recall. Eventually the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that the recounts which showed Al Franken ahead were the official results.
I’m sure there have been other disputed elections. But these two were cases where the Democratic candidates refused to accept results and filed lawsuits to let judges decide.
Good point, but that there is a hospital gown. All tied together to keep her butt out of the news.
Hillary should spend all her time fighting her Arch-nemesis ,Steps
I saw that picture today and immediately yelled to my wife:
“HONEY!!!! I KNOW WHO STOLE THE SHOWER CURTAINS!!!!”
Damn, she’s no longer simply a carpetbagger; she’s a bag WEARING the carpet...
What a worn-out old dishrag (and the dress is pretty bad too...)
Try the Veal!!! Here till Thursday!
Seriously... it’s time for her to just stagger and stumble off into the sunset somewhere... preferably off a cliff....
That parachute she’s wearing will break the fall... or the Depends...
LOL!!!!
These are perfect!
“Good point, but that there is a hospital gown. “
Either that or she got it at Awnings R Us.
Biggest sore loser in human history!
How does one walk under a sail like that?
Hitlery is one vile, Evil, pathetic creature. And her supporters are no better.
Underwhere?
Who the gods wish to destroy they first drive them mad.
I just knew I was going to love this thread.
