Michael Moore to Democrats: I told you Trump was going to win
FoxNews.com ^ | November 10, 2016

Posted on 11/10/2016 9:45:40 AM PST by metmom

On Wednesday, filmmaker and activist Michael Moore penned a "Morning After To-Do List" for Democrats that has, as of Thursday morning, been shared more than 180,000 times, liked more than 350,000 times, and commented on more than 18,000 times.

Item No. 1? "Take over the Democratic Party and return it to the people."

Moore also says Democrats must fire the pundits, pollsters, and members of the media who refused to let go of a narrative about the election that proved to be incorrect, force aside any Democratic members of Congress who aren't ready to fight, and remind everyone they meet that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. His No. 4 item, however, might come as a surprise to Democrats who are posting their own status updates on social media about how "shocked" or "stunned" they are at this outcome.

It's beyond me how Michael Moore called this when so many other liberals missed it. Somehow he was in touch with mainstream America.

Can't believe that I actually agree with anything he says, but he was right on this one.

I’m not convinced Hillary won the popular vote. I’ve got to see numbers on illegals voting, fraudulent voting, and republican voters fraudulently not counted.

I was arguing on a site full of liberals and one of them, though a strong liberal, kept warning the rest of them that there was a really good chance that Trump could win. After the race I accused him of channeling Moore.

His response was interesting. He basically said that Moore is from the rust belt and knows very well the mind of the white middle class, ad did he (the poster).

Moore is not as stupid as many claim he is. He just disagrees with a lot of us.

Obama was encouraging illegal voting.

http://downtrend.com/71superb/yes-obama-really-did-encourage-illegal-aliens-to-vite

“Many of the millenials – dreamers – undocumented citizens, and I call them citizens because they contribute to this country, are fearful of voting. So if I vote, will immigration know where I live? Will they come for my family and deport us?” Rodriguez asked.

Please note that Rodriguez is asking if ICE will be able to find and deport illegal aliens if they vote. Obama does not correct her that “dreamers” and “undocumented citizens” are not eligible to vote.

“Not true, and the reason is, first of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself and there’s not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating etcetera. The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential,” replied Obama.

I absolutely agree.

I heard accounts of people caught with many *absentee* or mail in ballots.

We need to tighten up the voting system and clean up the voter rolls.

I know exactly where Moore is coming from.

I have lived in OH, PA, and MI. I have been saying for twenty years that the first candidate who credibly challenges the idea of free trade and promises to go to D.C. and flip them the bird was going to sweep these states.

Go to Johnstown. The Mon Valley. Flint. Toledo.
Talk to people. It’s not hard.

God bless Michael Moore. His pre-election rant was epic. It was also moving and spot on. I give a lot of credit to this guy for having the clarity to see what he saw and then articulate it in such an effective manner.

and remind everyone they meet that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote

That's like saying, "my favorite baseball team had more hits than the other team, it's not fair that they won the game because they scored more runs - let's change the rules."

“fire the pundits, pollsters, and members of the media “.......

FINALLY, something I can agree with Michael Moore about.

Most poignant part of his facebook screed:

“Everyone must stop saying they are “stunned” and “shocked”. What you mean to say is that you were in a bubble and weren’t paying attention to your fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew. Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and tell them all “You’re fired!” Trump’s victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one only strengthened him.”

He also said that Trump was a grenade that the working class could toss into the laps of the elites....and it would feel GOOD!

I may not like 50% of what President Trump does as President but I will never regret my vote. Can’t believe I agree with so much from Moore. I had to check..No I am not a Dem.

I’m amazed he was able to pull the scales from his eyes unlike the rest of the liberals and see the truth. Perhaps there is wisdom in a wheelbarrow-full of Big Macs.

The New York Times loves to give the Republican Party advice, so I’m going to return the favor.

If the Democrat party wants to re-build itself it had better address the fact that it disenfranchised all of Bernie Sanders’ supporters in the last election.

The party itself must pressure Obama not to pardon Hillary Clinton or any of her associates who committed election fraud.

to which I would add, hire some conservative bloggers so that your content improves and begins to include reality, or is that too big a leap?
