Good thing I know better now."...don't you think you are putting yourself in pretty much the same position you were in before, with just a different opinion? Opinions come and go, but behavior doesn't lie. Before, you were confident in your opinion, based on your experience, and now you are similarly confident in your opinion, again, based on your experience. But if your actions are identical to what they were before, what have you really learned? sorry Aq, this is getting into abstract philosophy now, in other words I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

Gromdor Posted November 10, 2016 #555 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hillary: 59,917,410 votes Trump: 59,691,552 votes Americans picked Hillary. The system picked Trump. The irony of the claim of a rigged system........ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitat Posted November 10, 2016 #556 Share Posted November 10, 2016 It's a bit like a tennis match, the player that wins the most points, or the most games, does not necessarily win the contest. But all players know that before they take the court, and no-one can complain they lost on that basis. It appears Trump's campaign more effectively targeted individual states.

Michelle Posted November 10, 2016 #558 Share Posted November 10, 2016 It's funny...when most of the electoral votes were thought to be for Hillary it was a fair system. When her cronies bailed on her it suddenly isn't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamato Posted November 10, 2016 #559 Share Posted November 10, 2016 The definition of "rigged" seems to keep changing. The system worked like it's supposed to. If one was okay with the rules before election day, it doesn't make much sense to be crying about it after. Cry for the next election, to change the rules before then, that'll at least make some sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's being said is that the election clearly wasn't rigged. And, despite all the shrieking to the contrary, there was no systemic fraud going on. Add to that the Democrats conceded graciously and without any crafty footwork or dirty tricks (contrary to what was widely predicted on here last night). Would it hurt anyone to say they were wrong?

preacherman76 Posted November 10, 2016 #562 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I agree with 2008 0bama on this one. Sometimes the best disinfectant is a little sun shine. There were several examples of fraud that were exposed. Heck you had election commissioner straight say on camera it happens every election. Making people vigilant of the possibility, and knowing Trump was going to fight any fraud, made them back off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume there must be some type of actual proof here? What are these "other" intimidating behavior examples? This is obviously a last ditch effort to make sure democrat fraud is unexposed. From the same article. "Stone said the 1,400 people across the United States who volunteered for the project had been instructed to use neutral language and only approach people after they had voted. "Since we are only talking to voters after they have voted, how can we be intimidating them?" Stone said." the democrats should be sueing the msm since they do exit polling to.

Trump has no scruples, and well say anything to further his cause no matter how damaging it is to this country. According to Trump, Americans should have no faith in elections. This is a despot speaking. Just decided to read through this thread again to see how Dems responded to the "rigged" talk by Trump at the time until now with Jill and Hill looking into "rigging" ...

The discussion was not about how the average Joe Democrat has reacted. There's threads aplenty for all of that. It was more related to all the fear-mongering that was going on in (ie, widespread voter fraud and predictions of what Clinton and Obama would do to prevent a Trump victory once it was clear that he'd won.) The reality? No voter fraud and no dirty tricks. An unreserved and gracious concession from Clinton and then a complete disappearance - probably for the best. Nothing to do with how people have protested the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has to know (unless she's cracked) that the recount will not change the result. So why would she risk causing Trump to get angry and set Jeff Sessions loose to investigate her emails and Foundation at excruciating length? It really is baffling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
