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.....

I still saw Gore/Liebermann signs and bumper stickers as recently as a few months ago.

Call the waaaambulance! Donald Trump has been President of the United States for 8 months and she’s bringing this up now? She’s ticking off all sides with her self-pity tour and needs to just do everyone a favor and go away.

Pretty sure they aren’t original and are sold to nostalgic libs but occasionally I see Kennedy/Johnson bumper stickers.

Actually, Jefferson requested three items to be mentioned: that he was the author of the Declaration of Independence, and of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and was the father of the University of Virginia.

>There are a lot of federal troops within half a days ride of Washington, not to mention millions of armed Trump supporters.

True, but the left is pretty confident that they won’t mobilize. They may counting on air power/drones to prevent it. They’ll brand anyone trying to stop Trump’s removal as a Nazi.

>The lesson of the French Revolution, the Iron Curtain and other such situations is that enough armed civilians trumps any security you might have. 100,000 people with weapons would sweep away the Secret Service, the DC and Capitol police and any military on hand.

You’ve got it backwards. The French Revolution required the army to switch sides to take the Bastille after a mob of thousands failed to take it. The fall of the Iron Curtain required the military to stand down in order for the people to win. Where they didn’t stand down as in China they were slaughtered.

They’ll use it on the people on the way to the white house. Highways make really nice shooting galleries.

Her personal mental breakdown continues on in the public forum... She really should have waited a few years before becoming so available for scrutiny. Even when she avoids interviewer’s who ask any difficult questions, she can end up looking pretty stupid answering the snowball ones.

The simple answer to the question was obviously too easy... She should have just said that there is no recourse and we need to move on, etc., etc... Instead, she appears as delusional as her ardent supporters who dream of Trump resigning or being impeached by some act of lunacy and then Hillary being invited to the White House and in some fantastical ceremony being anointed as the President.

If you get a chance check out the new American Horror Story (Cult) series on FX, do so.... It’s full of snowflakes who a act like snowflakes and it all revolves around the election of Trump and the trauma Hillary supporters are going through... It’s truly funny and very amusing.

Maybe she found more votes in three cars: one in Michigan, one in Pennsylvania, and one in Wisconsin.

“I think a recount is more likely”

What are you smoking, injecting, inhaling?

She is really stupid. Honestly. Really stupid, and it’s no wonder she flunked the bar exam. It’s actually quite astounding. Her greatest ‘skill’ is the willingness to do essentially anything to promote herself - and to be unfettered by such ‘menial’ things as ethics and morality. She’s the Cracker Jack box with no prize inside.

I’m not smoking or injesting!! Didnt you read what the poster said? He said the chances of a recount were the same as the chances of bill going down on her.
I stand by my opinion that a recount is more likely.

Hillary you need something for your illness. You are suffering from AmericanRejectedYouitis,more commonly known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. You need a vacation to the well known vacation spot of North Korea. Side effects might be seeing KimJungUn, starving people or no lights.
