    You mean like the United Nations, which give a sparsely populated country that is mostly just empty space like Canada equal representation as the more developed populated countries like the United States?

    Flashback: Clinton Said Not Accepting Election Results Was ‘Horrifying’ [VIDEO]

    Hillary Clinton, now a private citizen after conceding the election to Donald Trump, wants in on the recount effort Green Party nominee Jill Stein launched Friday, even though she previously called such a notion “horrifying.”



    During the final debate between Clinton and Donald Trump last month in Las Vegas, Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would honor the results of the election even if he lost.

    “I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at it now. What I’ve seen is so bad,” Trump responded.

    During the final debate between Clinton and Donald Trump last month in Las Vegas, Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would honor the results of the election even if he lost.

    “I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at it now. What I’ve seen is so bad,” Trump responded.


    Wallace pressed the question further, and Trump replied, “What I’m saying is I will tell you at the time.”

    “I’ll keep you in suspense,” Trump said.

    Clinton, apparently taken aback by Trump’s response to the matter, hit back “That’s horrifying.”

    She went on to say, “That’s not the way our democracy works. We’ve been around 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections and 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. President Obama said the other day that when you’re whining before the game is even finished it just shows you’re not even up to doing the job. “

    She added, “And let’s be clear about what he’s saying and what he means. He’s denigrating—he’s talking down our democracy. I for one am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our major two parties would take that kind of position.”

    Clinton was later asked by reporters about Trump’s statement at the debate and she said, “I truly doubt he has ever ready the Constitution.”

    The Democrats’ real strategy in launching recounts
    By Richard Baehr
    The recount in Wisconsin, and the coming ones in Michigan and Pennsylvania will not change the outcomes in any of the states. No recount ever changes thousands of votes. I do not think that is the purpose.

    The recounts, if done by hand, which can be demanded, may take longer than the last day for completing the official counts in a state and directing Electoral College voters. If all 3 states miss the deadline, Trump is at 260, Hillary at 232. No one hits 270.

    Then this goes to Congress, where the House voting 1 vote per state elects Trump, and Senate selects Pence. This would be first time Pthis happened since 1824, but in that case, John Quincy Adams won in the House, though he had fewer electoral college votes than Andrew Jackson.

    If this goes to the US House and Senate, and the result is the same as result from the Electoral College without the recounts, why do it? The answer is to make Trump seem even more illegitimate, that he did not win the popular vote (he lost by over 2.1 million), he did not win the Electoral College (did not reach 270), and was elected by being inserted into the presidency by members of his own party in Congress.

    A California Recount Would Stop All of This Nonsense (Vanity)

    Trump should threaten a California recount, and here's why: It would kill two birds with one stone, and likely shut down this entire recount nonsense. First, he should announce that the statewide California recount would include a forensic recount of voter irregularities in Los Angeles County. Uncovering the volume of illegal immigrant voting would be a severe detriment Clinton's numbers and standing. Second, a slow vote would remove California from the list of available electors (as some are saying that the real reason for WI, MI, and PA recounts are to remove them from the vote on December 19th).

    Since there is no evidence of hacking in these elections, but let's recount it anyway, I'll see your farce and raise you one "I would have had the most votes if not for all the illegal voting":

    Trump says he would have won U.S. popular vote if not for illegal voting


    U.S. President-elect Donald Trump tweeted on Sunday that

    besides winning the Electoral College "in a landslide" in the Nov. 8 election: "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally."

    The allegation, made without evidence, comes as Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's lead in the popular vote over Trump has surpassed 2 million votes and is expected to grow to more than 2.5 million as ballots in populous states such as California continue to be tallied.

    Clinton's legal team said on Saturday it had agreed to participate in a recount of Wisconsin votes after the state's election board approved the effort requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, which Trump has called "ridiculous."

    "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," Trump tweeted as reporters waited for him to leave his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Florida to fly back to his residence in New York City.

    But what is the retard Drumpf actually risking on the table as his raise, a recount in every state? The election was rigged, he already told us that multiple times, and said he'd contest it if he lost. So he's staking nothing.

    Trump alleges, without evidence, that millions voted illegally for Clinton
    Trump says media is 'not reporting' fraud that occurred in 3 states won by Clinton

    "U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said without evidence in a tweet on Sunday that he won the popular vote in the Nov. 8 election "if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally."

    "The allegation by Trump, who won the required votes in the Electoral College to secure the presidency, comes as Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's lead in the popular vote over Trump has surpassed two million votes and is expected to grow to more than 2.5 million as ballots in populous states such as California continue to be tallied.

    "Clinton's legal team said on Saturday it had agreed to participate in a recount of Wisconsin votes after the state's election board approved the effort requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, which Trump has called "ridiculous."

    "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," the Republican Trump tweeted as reporters waited for him to leave his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Florida to fly back to his residence in New York City.

    "In a subsequent tweet, he alleged that "serious" voter fraud had occurred in California, New Hampshire and Virginia, and that the media were ignoring the story.

    "Those three states were won by Clinton.

    "The source of the claims is unclear, although the conspiracy-minded website Infowars posited a week after the election, without supporting evidence, that widespread voter fraud had occurred."

    Good job there, Drumpf. Indeed, we should recount all 50 states now.
