I am listening to Fresh Air this moment and Hillary said there is no legal basis to challenge the resultis, but one can question the moral legitimacy of Trump's victory based on what we know about what happened before Election Day.

(52,169 posts)remember al gore, who never claimed to have "invented" the internet, but was widely ridiculed for something he never claimed?
al gore, who did more to bring about the internet than any washington politician?
al gore, who helped provide early funding for the internet?
al gore, who made the internet something incredibly valuable by getting every federal government department to put massive amounts of data online?
yeah, that al gore, they twisted his words to make it appear that for some insane reason he was claiming to suddenly be a computer engineer and inventor.
ludicrous.
as snopes says, if eisenhower had claimed to have "taken the initiative in creating the national highway system", no one on earth would have pretended that he was claiming to have "invented" highways or to have designed or paved the roads himself.
they only do that crap to democrats.
and hillary's been a favorite target for ages.

(16,104 posts)just posted tweets of him physically knocking her down, what an affront to all Democrats that this former candidate can't just move on and shut the hell up.
And she's not leaving any oxygen in the room for her former primary candidate to continue his primary!
Women! So distracting! So uppity!

5. Repeat ad nauseum.
6. Congrats! You're a pure star! Winning!
If this is yours or one of your friends to do lists, please stop. You are not helping the cause, the party, or your favorite pure candidate. Please find something better to do with your time. You are only helping the opposition and those chaos-causing Russian bots.
