There is nothing wrong with Trump using Twitter to speak directly to the people. What you see here is Trump starting to punch back at the recount nonsense. If we’re gonna recount, why not look at the real fraud, dead people voting, illegals voting, double registrations???
I was referring to the GOPe and certain TEA PARTY candidates who can’t see the forest through the trees. The idea, for instance, that Todd Akin stayed in the MO Senate race by citing a biased PPP poll was insane as is this the propensity for the GOPe to assume the fetal issue on hot button issues like race and social security.

Trump’s insights have reversed the fortune for the GOP in 2016.
 
I have no problem with Trump’s tweet. If the Hillary camp and Jill Stein and whatever crazies are out there demanding a recount, Trump has the right to tweet whatever he wants. What he says pales in comparison to what these loonies are doing,.
Where are the loonies passing out Trump University diplomas?
 
He just can’t stand the fact that Clinton won the popular vote by at least 2 million votes.
That’s actually a non-argument. For one thing, there are just too many republicans in solid, hardcore blue states (with high populations) like California and NY who don’t bother going to vote because it wouldn’t matter. But there’s also this…I’ll just cut & paste my comments from another thread…
A very important thing to remember is that strategy is reflected in those numbers. If you are a republican, you don’t spend a lot of time and money in places like California, Oregon, New York, etc., because you know it’s a blue lock, states are superglued tight and although you could gain some serious votes, it would never be enough to topple the majority. Now if the popular vote mattered, that changes everything and you would hustle from sea to shining sea for every single vote.

Arguing for popular vote numbers AFTER an election win that was based on who performed best in the electoral college is not kosher at all IMO.
Elections based on electoral college numbers have a different strategy than elections based on popular votes. It’s like arguing that the winner of a foot race (strategy was speed, cross the finish line first) shouldn’t be the winner because he made less strides than his opponent. It’s nonsense. Agree upon the rules beforehand, base your strategy on that and voila! only one winner. This didn’t use to be difficult, for some reason nowadays it is. I don’t know why.
If the foot race was based on strides & speed…then you would adjust your strategy to include more strides. If it’s just on speed…you don’t worry about the stride count. Do you see how that makes a difference? Not only for a sense of fair play…but how the strategy would affect the variables involved?

So comparing popular vote numbers is really not valid in any way (in an election such as this). There are just so many variables…people don’t vote because they don’t think it doesn’t count…strategies…what election promises you make to who…etc.

But here’s the really sneaky thing to consider: The media knows this. The political talking heads know this. So the question is…

Why do they keep sliding that out there to the masses? Why are they continuously fanning those flames (re: popular vote counts)? What are they trying to start?
 
Yep…
Can’t wait for this again: :banghead:
Miraculous “missing” ballots found.
Felons voting in metro areas.
Many people voting twice.
And yet the courts seemed to always rule that these votes had to be counted.
The supposedly under-counted votes tilted more than 2/3 for the Democrat :hmmm:
Valid source please.
 
I supported this until it became obvious it was done to subvert the electoral college. Knowing trump would still win they are calculating how to weaken our president. They waited to file until they knew the state would miss the deadline for certification.

This is incredibly harmful to a powder keg of fear and protesting.
Trump should fire back and actively pursue Hillary. This is calculated.

This is a threat to our government.

I wanted to charitably assume the leftists were just mislead. But this looks evil.

Right on. It’s about fanning discontent. To be fair, this is a strategy employed by all kinds of people. It does seem odd to me that the party claiming to be all about protecting the minority is lashing out at the Electoral College, a mechanism created to do just that. I can understand being upset though.
 
The outrage by Jill Stien et all,really just brings to the light,the arrogance of the Dems,lefties.Her outcry that Wisconsn,Michigan were supposed to go to HC.The nerve of the voters’ to actually think outside the dem,liberal box and vote for Trump!:rolleyes: Trump said it best"They only care about you every four years when they need your vote"
 
It almost assuredly is not her goal.
Unless perhaps it is a long term goal. Trump garnered his first wave of support by questioning Obama’s legitimacy as President. Maybe Stein thinks that her efforts will pay off for her in 2020. 🤷
 
Particularly considering the fact that the President , prior to the election, encouraged illegals to vote.
Yes, I saw this interview and heard from Obama’s own lips “well, look, once you vote you ARE a citizen.” Exact words!!! IOW, illegals go ahead and vote and don’t worry that you will be prosecuted. Of course, Mr. smug mug assumed that HRC would be elected, didn’t he???😉

Let’s just wait this out and once Mr. Trump is officially the president and Obama cannot pardon Hillary, I am sure he will get to work to insure justice for all is achieved.😃

The governor still can certify the vote, if you chooses. In light of the delay in requesting a recount, I would think it even reasonable that he certify it on the last day, rather than risk a voiding of the electorate. Then the recount could continue for show, since that is all it is anyway.
 
You have no idea how many illegals voted.
Neither does Trump. Yet he’s claiming that “millions” voted illegally. That’s the point.

And of course, if millions *did *vote illegally, a recount is absolutely necessary and is nothing to be denigrated.

Then the recount should take place in California not PA or MI.

The recount in a state like WI isn’t about illegals voting. Trump’s the one who put the two issues together. Matt Walsh is right, I think – Trump’s tweet and his response to the recount effort in general are more about ego.
